M14 Repository Cleanup

Authority and status

Status: COMPLETE
Activated: 2026-08-24
Checkpoint: CURRENT_CHECKPOINT.md
Cleanup register: docs/design-authority/repository-cleanup-manifest.json

Player-visible stopping point

The running game, save semantics, accepted Japanese 2D presentation and MVP first-cycle route remain unchanged. The repository is reduced to current authority, required runtime/test dependencies and reproducible tools. Known Godot-generated .uid/.import files and prototype_incremental/ remain untouched as required by the repository contract.

Frozen scope

Do not alter runtime/, accepted page packages, product contracts or visual assets except for deleting the explicitly registered obsolete files below.
Do not delete historical design/provenance records merely because they are old; Git history remains the provenance archive.
Do not stage or delete untracked runtime/**/*.uid, runtime/**/*.import or prototype_incremental/.
No packaging, deployment, store or release work.

Ordered steps

Step	Status	Stopping point and acceptance
`M14-1` Inventory and reference scan	`COMPLETE`	Candidate paths are registered in the cleanup manifest; fresh `git grep`/`rg` scans find no references outside the candidate paths.
`M14-2` Remove obsolete repository artifacts	`COMPLETE`	The registered stale taskgraph metadata and superseded prototype validators/build helper are deleted; no runtime or authority path changes.
`M14-3` Focused verification and closure	`COMPLETE`	Design-contract validators, predevelopment validator, MVP first-cycle audit, `git diff --check`, deletion diff and remote commit verification pass.

All M14 steps are complete. Any later cleanup must register a new candidate set and activate a new durable plan; it must not silently expand this batch.

Candidate set registered at activation

The current candidate set is intentionally narrow:

.agent-taskgraph/ — stale PTY-001/PTY-002 coordination notes; no product or tooling references remain and the current checkpoint is M13/M14, not the old PTY plan.
tools/build_prototype_data.py — no repository callers; it references the removed pre-consolidation docs/presentation/ and docs/content/ tree and fails immediately with FileNotFoundError.
tools/verify_prototype.js — no repository callers; it asserts the retired 11-view/82-screen prototype contract while the retained prototype package is the 7-view/50-screen experience package.
prototype/site/verify-p8-1.js, verify-p8-2.js, verify-p8-3.js, verify-p8-4.js, verify-p8-5.js, verify-r6.js and verify-r7.js — no repository callers; these phase-specific validators are superseded by the current runtime/page and MVP audit suites.

Verification commands

Run after deletion from the working tree:

python3 tools/validate_design_contracts.py
python3 tools/validate_predevelopment_design.py
python3 tools/run_test_attempt.py --label m14-cleanup-mvp-audit \
  --git-ref e8d7a95a244796b703cff04b14e4c15fb7e6484f \
  --require-marker ABG_MVP_FIRST_CYCLE_AUDIT_OK -- \
  ./tools/run_mvp_first_cycle_audit.sh
git diff --check
git status --short
git ls-remote origin refs/heads/agent/abg-p91-runtime-foundation

Commit boundaries and handoff

Activate this plan and register candidates before deletion.
Delete only after the fresh reference scan is recorded.
Close the plan only after focused verification and a pushed cleanup commit.

The final handoff must list retained generated files, deleted paths, checks, commit SHA and remote SHA.

Closure record

Deletion commit: e8d7a95a244796b703cff04b14e4c15fb7e6484f.
Remote branch verification: refs/heads/agent/abg-p91-runtime-foundation resolves to the same SHA.
Source-bound audit: /private/tmp/aetherbound-guild-test-evidence/m14-cleanup-mvp-audit/.
Marker: ABG_MVP_FIRST_CYCLE_AUDIT_OK exactly once; 128 normal 100% frames; strict diagnostics 0; workspace/process group removed.
Evidence archive SHA-256: e80e55495c65c76c641f669c5f6d35d6b3dc55ab4c8097faf369b80d4a9dcd1a.
Local ignored cleanup: the regenerable runtime/.godot/ import/editor cache (approximately 69.8 MB) was purged; Godot recreates it on the next run.

Issue register

ID	Status	Note
`M14-I01`	`RESOLVED_RETAINED`	Untracked Godot `.uid`/`.import` files and `prototype_incremental/` remain untouched by contract; they are not cleanup candidates.
