Production Readiness Validation
Before (Root Directory Issues)
- ❌ Investigation folders (socket.io-issue, CODITECT-ARCHITECTURE)
- ❌ Sprint validation docs in root
- ❌ Obsolete directories (knowledge-base, mcp-knowledge-base, etc.)
- ❌ Backup directories (docs-backup, infrastructure)
- ❌ Personal configs (zsh-theme)
- ❌ Scattered k8s files
After (Production-Ready)
- ✅ Only essential configuration files in root
- ✅ All investigations in docs/11-analysis/
- ✅ All execution plans in docs/10-execution-plans/
- ✅ Obsolete materials in docs/99-archive/
- ✅ K8s manifests consolidated in k8s/
- ✅ Clean, navigable root directory

Metrics
| Metric | Before | After | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Root directories | 30+ | 18 | 40% reduction |
| Root .md files | 4 | 2 | 50% reduction |
| Misplaced investigations | 2 folders | 0 | 100% cleanup |
| Obsolete directories | 6 | 0 | 100% cleanup |
| Unorganized k8s files | 2 | 0 | 100% cleanup |
Next Steps
Recommended
- ✅ Push commit to origin/main
- Review
docs/99-archive/to identify any files that should be deleted entirely - Consider adding
src-gen/to .gitignore if not already (it's generated) - Review
theia-app/to confirm it's actively used
Optional
- Create
docs/11-analysis/README.mdto index all analysis documents - Create
docs/10-execution-plans/README.mdto index all execution plans - Review
logs/directory - should it be in .gitignore?
Conclusion
Project root directory is now production-ready with clear separation of:
- Active source code (src/, backend/)
- Configuration (root-level configs)
- Documentation (docs/)
- Investigation materials (docs/11-analysis/)
- Archived materials (docs/99-archive/)
- Kubernetes manifests (k8s/)
All changes committed with proper git history preservation.
