What

Split the repo's documentation by audience and stop scratch from leaking into git.

Tracked upstream docs/ (for repo consumers)

  • docs/ci.md — CI bootstrap/secret contract (unchanged; still linked from README + AGENTS)
  • docs/compatibility.md — tested OpenShell/ACP/Go versions (newly tracked)
  • docs/README.md — rewritten as a lean upstream-only index

Gitignored local working-docs/ (planning/working material, not shipped)

Sorted internally into:

  • active/ — modernization roadmap, design notes, hypershell test plan, ideas
  • specs/ — the spec ladder (incl. done/)
  • archive/ — superseded designs, dated research (wiki/collector/openshell-arch/plans), old ROADMAP, and the source modernization plan

Why

Planning artifacts were a mix of gitignored (docs/modernization/, specs/) and untracked-but-not-ignored scratch (docs/archive/*, root *.md/*.yaml, bin/, orchestrator). The latter was a live git add -A hazard — it previously swept ~55 files (incl. a 2.5MB binary) into a PR commit. This makes the boundary explicit: a small curated tracked set, everything else local under one ignored root.

Changes (6 tracked files)

  • track docs/compatibility.md; rewrite docs/README.md
  • README.md docs table: drop the now-local docs/archive/ row, add docs/compatibility.md
  • move docs/modernization, docs/design, docs/archive/*, repo-root specs/, and root planning .md into working-docs/{active,archive,specs}
  • gitignore working-docs/ + stray scratch (bin/, /orchestrator, root *.yaml, skills-lock.json)

Note

working-docs/ is gitignored, so the roadmap + specs now live only on local disk (as before for modernization/specs). No durable backstop is set up here — flagged for follow-up if a tracked/private-repo copy is wanted.

Verification

  • go build ./... clean
  • git status clean apart from ignored working-docs/

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a central documentation index with links to repository guidance and CI resources.
    • Added compatibility guidance covering OpenShell, the Go SDK, ACP, and supported Go versions.
    • Updated the main README to link to the current documentation index.
    • Removed outdated archived design documentation.

Repo docs are now audience-split: a small tracked upstream docs/ (ci.md,
compatibility.md, and a lean README index) versus a gitignored working-docs/
root holding all planning material, sorted into active/, archive/, and specs/.

- track docs/compatibility.md; rewrite docs/README.md as an upstream-only index
- point README.md docs table at compatibility.md instead of the (now local)
  docs/archive/ tree
- move docs/modernization, docs/design, docs/archive/*, repo-root specs/, and
  the root planning .md files into working-docs/{active,archive,specs}
- gitignore working-docs/ plus stray scratch (bin/, orchestrator, root *.yaml,
  skills-lock.json) so 'git add -A' can no longer sweep them in

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c0f3d

The PR reorganizes documentation and local scratch-file handling, with minor follow-ups to correct one compatibility description and scope several ignore patterns to the repository root. These could cause documentation drift or unintentionally omit nested files from staging, but they are localized and not merge-blocking; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal review.

Scope scratch-file ignores to the repository root.

These patterns are described as root scratch configurations, but unanchored patterns match the same filenames in every directory. A nested configuration can be silently omitted from git add -A. Prefix each entry with /.

`openshell sandbox create` makes `--upload` **mutually exclusive** with a trailing
`-- <command>` (`upload: Vec<String>` gains `conflicts_with = "command"`), and adds
a `--detach` flag. The harness always uploads config/payloads *and* runs a command
(`true` headless, `bash run.sh` for task/attach), so every create path breaks at

Use the adapter-owned command in the compatibility note.

Line 18 says task and attach paths run bash run.sh, but cmd/executor.go calls agent.AdapterFor(...).Command(...) and replaces the generated run.sh. Describe the adapter-generated command instead.
