.ciagent/archive/ — Completed-Milestone History

This directory holds byte-identical snapshots of .ciagent/ files that were compressed out of the active agent context. Compression is lossless via relocation: every original byte is reachable here, and the git history at the commit prior to compression preserves the authoritative state for offline agent loading.

Why archive

The active milestone is v1.27 (PO State Catalog & Ciagent Compression). The .ciagent/ root was compressed twice:

1. v1.26 P2 compression (~11,164 lines → ~5,232): the completed-milestone narratives (v1.0–v1.24) were relocated. Per the run.md context-loading model, agents read .ciagent/ every /ci-run; the historical narrative was not load-bearing for v1.26 execution and was relocated to keep the working context lean.
2. v1.27 P1 compression (~5,232 → ~3,882): the v1.26 phase verifications + review + evidence + the dated CAPABILITY_INVENTORY (superseded by STATE.md) + AUTONOMY_THESIS (folded into NORTH_STAR)
   • COST (predates v1.26 pilot) were relocated. The 4 pre-execution files (CLARIFY/GRILL/IDEATE/RESEARCH) were rewritten by v1.27 P0 and stay active through v1.27.

Contents

Snapshots of slimmed files (full content before compression)

File	Original (lines)	Replaces	Status at time of snapshot
PROJECT-v1.0-v1.24.md	1784	.ciagent/PROJECT.md	v1.0–v1.24 milestone-by-milestone narrative + active milestone v1.26 sections
REQUIREMENTS-v1.0-v1.24.md	2490	.ciagent/REQUIREMENTS.md	All requirements v1.0 (REQ-01) through v1.26 (REQ-322)
ROADMAP-v1.0-v1.24.md	2341	.ciagent/ROADMAP.md	All phase breakdowns v1.0 through v1.26
ARCHITECTURE-v1.0-v1.24.md	945	.ciagent/ARCHITECTURE.md	Full architecture reference + historical "how we got here" narrative

The slimmed in-place files retain: active milestone v1.26 context, the v1.25 milestone (since v1.26 tags ride the v1.25.x line), the durable vision/tenets/RACI/capability-status sections, and the current-state architecture reference.

Completed-phase artifacts (relocated verbatim)

File	Original (lines)	Phase(s) documented
REVIEW.md	111	Multi-persona code review records from completed phases
AUDIT.md	553	Project health audit records (reconstruction tests, branch hygiene)
VERIFY.md	86	Per-phase verification records
PRE_MORTEM.md	228	Pre-mortem analyses for completed milestones

v1.27 compression — archived files (8 files, lossless git mv)

The v1.27 NFR milestone (PO State Catalog & Ciagent Compression) archived 7 platform-root files + 1 consumer file. All are byte-identical relocations; git history at the pre-v1.27 commits preserves the authoritative state.

Snapshots of superseded durable references (3 files)

File	Original (lines)	Superseded by	Status at time of snapshot
CAPABILITY_INVENTORY-v1.10.md	120	.ciagent/STATE.md (v1.27)	The 2026-07-27 re-verification sweep (v1.1→v1.8 capabilities). Predates v1.26 pilot (CAP-025 absent; blockchain capabilities absent).
AUTONOMY_THESIS-v1.21.md	65	NORTH_STAR.md Vision + Anti-Goals #2	"Last refined: v1.21" — the autonomy-in-operations thesis, fully folded into NORTH_STAR.md.
COST-v1.14.md	106	(future cost milestone)	AWS cost report dated 2026-07-29, framed "v1.0 → v1.14". Predates v1.26 live pilot (ECS + ALB + DynamoDB + S3 costs not reflected).

v1.26 phase verifications + review + evidence (4 files)

File	Original (lines)	Phase(s) documented
VERIFY-P03.md	39	v1.26 P3 verification — PASS (shipped v1.25.3)
VERIFY-P04.md	31	v1.26 P4 verification — PASS (shipped v1.25.4)
REVIEW-AUDIT-P05.md	218	v1.26 P5 final review + audit — PROCEED (shipped v1.25.5; 0 P0 remain; audit CLEAN)
P4-PILOT-RUN-EVIDENCE-v1.26.md	46	v1.26 live apply evidence (blkex-pilot-apply-v0.2; confidence 0.800 pass; outcome backfilled; hash chain valid)

Consumer subproject archive (1 file)

File	Original (lines)	Phase(s) documented
nova-blockchain-exchange/archive/ROADMAP-v1.26.md	57	v1.26 consumer roadmap (P3/P4/P5 marked "planned" at archive time; v1.26 shipped v1.25.5). Phase narrative preserved in the platform .ciagent/ROADMAP.md §v1.26.

v1.26 pre-execution artifacts (in git history, not archived to disk)

The v1.26 pre-execution files (CLARIFY, GRILL, IDEATE, RESEARCH) were overwritten by the v1.27 P0 pre-execution cycle. The v1.26-era content is preserved in git history at the pre-v1.27-P0 commits (search the log for docs(P00): commits on the milestone/v1.26-pilot-activation line). The v1.27 P0 versions stay active through v1.27; they archive at v1.28 P1 if v1.28 happens. Decisions D-200..D-213 (v1.26) are folded into PROJECT.md load-bearing decisions; D-214..D-225 (v1.27) live in the active CLARIFY.md.

Live operational files NOT archived

These files remain at their canonical .ciagent/ paths because they are read/write targets of live code paths and must not be relocated:

• REGRESSION_REPORT.json — written by core/regression_verify.py:705, read by core/metrics/collector.py:27 + core/metrics/trust_snapshot.py:21
  • metrics/ views.
• REGRESSION_REPORT.md — written by core/regression_verify.py:704, referenced by scripts/run_regression.sh.
• CHECKPOINT.json — the authoritative resume point for /ci-run.
• config.json — operational configuration (no historical content).

How to load archived content

Agents that need completed-milestone history can read these files directly (they live inside .ciagent/, so the path convention holds):

.ciagent/archive/PROJECT-v1.0-v1.24.md
.ciagent/archive/REQUIREMENTS-v1.0-v1.24.md
.ciagent/archive/ROADMAP-v1.0-v1.24.md
.ciagent/archive/ARCHITECTURE-v1.0-v1.24.md
.ciagent/archive/{REVIEW,AUDIT,VERIFY,PRE_MORTEM}.md

For the authoritative pre-compression state of any .ciagent/ file, use git history at the commit immediately preceding the compression commit (search the log for chore(P02): compress .ciagent/ files).

completed-milestones/

Reserved for future per-milestone summary files if a milestone's narrative is too large for the slimmed in-place ROADMAP/PROJECT. Currently empty; v1.0–v1.24 narrative is fully preserved in the four snapshot files above.
