EXECUTION METHODOLOGY
==============================================================================
9-Phase Systematic Approach:
- Phase 1: ANALYSIS ✅ (audit, identify scope)
- Phase 2: CLEANUP ✅ (delete perf.data files, 67MB freed)
- Phase 3: ARCHIVE PHASE 5 ✅ (verify archive, create plan, extract content, write new README)
- Phase 4: UPDATE README.md ✅ (backup, replace, verify)
- Phase 5: UPDATE CHANGELOG.md ✅ (verify Sprint 6.1-6.3 entries)
- Phase 6: DOCUMENTATION AUDIT ✅ (verify core docs, TODO files)
- Phase 7: QUALITY CHECKS ✅ (cargo fmt, clippy, markdown links)
- Phase 8: COMMIT PREPARATION 🔄 (this commit)
- Phase 9: FINAL REPORT 📋 (completion report to be created)
Implementation Time:
- Phase 1-2: ~1h (analysis + cleanup)
- Phase 3: ~4h (modernization plan + new README)
- Phase 4-7: ~2h (deployment + verification)
- Total: ~7h systematic execution
REFERENCES
==============================================================================
Documentation:
- Audit Document: /tmp/ProRT-IP/DOC-CLEANUP-AUDIT.md (290 lines)
- Modernization Plan: /tmp/ProRT-IP/README-MODERNIZATION-PLAN.md (191 lines)
- Original Backup: /tmp/ProRT-IP/README-ORIGINAL-BACKUP.md (3,057 lines)
- New README: README.md (559 lines, this commit)
- Phase 5 Archive: docs/archive/PHASE-5-README-ARCHIVE.md (1,862 lines)
Key Decisions:
- Complete rewrite (Option A) vs incremental deletion (Option B): Better consistency
- Sprint 6.2 NOT archived: Current Phase 6 content, belongs in main README
- 400-600 line target: Achieved 559 lines (93% of max target)
- Phase 5 archive reference: 4-sentence summary + link (concise acknowledgment)
FUTURE WORK
==============================================================================
Identified But Deferred (Not Critical for Cleanup):
1. TUI-ARCHITECTURE.md: Add NetworkGraphWidget documentation (4th Sprint 6.2 widget)
2. TUI-ARCHITECTURE.md: Update status header from "Phase 6.2 Partial" to "COMPLETE"
3. ARCHITECTURE.md: Update from v0.4.3 to v0.5.2 (significant rewrite needed)
These updates are tracked in respective documentation files but not blocking
for README modernization completion.
