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.

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/ |

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.
