Document the baseline, hypotheses, measured results, failed approaches, current policy defaults, and remaining rotating n=3 and virial limitations. Include the authoritative LaTeX report, Pandoc-generated Markdown, compiled PDF, source provenance, branch decisions, and consolidation validation. Organize raw results and miscellaneous artifacts under working/ without deleting them; version the directory guide, relocation hashes, archive verifier, and report build/conversion checks. Keep build caches at their original paths and clearly distinguish retained binaries from the validated research build. Preserve experimental policies without promoting failed trials to defaults.

# Local research workspace
|
||
|
||
This directory holds preserved local evidence and future working outputs. Raw data
|
||
are intentionally excluded from Git; no archived result was deleted during the
|
||
20 September 2026 consolidation. The source, experiment manifests, reports,
|
||
selected figures and relocation/hash inventory are versioned.
|
||
|
||
| Location | Contents |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| `research/diagnostics/` | Complete 16–19 September campaigns, copied executables, snapshots, logs, physical diagnostics and original provenance |
|
||
| `legacy_results/` | Earlier profiling, validation, geometry and preconditioning output directories |
|
||
| `legacy_results/tables/` | Earlier loose CSV files |
|
||
| `legacy_misc/` | Source ZIPs, patches, old test output, unused package placeholders and local helper scripts |
|
||
| `legacy_documents/prior/` | Unmodified original optimization report source and PDF; versioned copies also live in `reports/prior/` |
|
||
| `report_builds/prior/` | Preserved auxiliary files from the earlier LaTeX report |
|
||
| `report_builds/research_handoff/` | Build logs and temporary rendering output for the consolidated report |
|
||
| `consolidation_2026-09-20/` | Validation and audit records for consolidation |
|
||
|
||
The old project-workspace `diagnostics` path is a compatibility symlink to
|
||
`research/diagnostics/`, so recorded absolute snapshot paths remain usable on this
|
||
machine. For transfer to another machine, copy this directory and rebase the
|
||
paths in a **new** campaign manifest; do not rewrite original provenance.
|
||
|
||
Existing `cmake-build-*` trees remain at their original paths because CMake and
|
||
C++ module caches bind to absolute source/build locations. They are now ignored
|
||
by Git. Git-managed research worktrees and all hypothesis branches are also
|
||
retained. Local IDE/tool configuration remains in place.
|
||
|
||
See `../reports/archive/move_manifest.json` for every moved file's original and
|
||
new location, byte count and SHA-256. `../reports/branch_consolidation.md` records
|
||
the disposition of the research branches. Files under the ChatGPT project's
|
||
synced `sources/` directory were not changed or relocated.
