Why This Change?

Problem Identified (Fresh Claude Review #2):

"Five different session start documents with overlapping but not identical guidance. Unclear which is authoritative. Claude instances may read different versions and get inconsistent instructions."

Solution:

  • ONE authoritative document: /SESSION-HANDOFF-PROTOCOL.md
  • Clear header stating it's authoritative
  • All other session docs archived
  • DOCUMENT-INDEX updated to reference only authoritative source

What to Do If You Find References

If you encounter references to deprecated session docs:

  1. Update reference to point to /SESSION-HANDOFF-PROTOCOL.md
  2. Note the location of the outdated reference
  3. Update documentation to use authoritative source

Archive Location

Deprecated documents moved to: docs/archive/deprecated-session-docs/

Original files preserved for historical reference but clearly marked as obsolete.
