  "intent": "Move unmaintained / never-changed-and-never-used directories out of testsAndMisc into a sibling archive repo so the main repo focuses on actively-used code.",
  "scope": [
    "git rm of 41 archived directories across python_pkg/, C/, CPP/, TS/, and top-level (horatio, pomodoro_app, sonic_pi, robotgo_demo)",
    "Removal of obsolete node/eslint files (package.json, package-lock.json, eslint.config.mjs)",
    "Pruning of references in .gitignore, .copilotignore, .vscode/settings.json, .pre-commit-config.yaml, pyproject.toml, .binary-allowlist, scripts/check_python_location.sh, README.md",
    "Non-goal: changing behavior of kept packages (screen_locker, steam_backlog_enforcer, brother_printer, wake_alarm, shared, random_jpg, pdfCentered, split, geo_data, geo_cache, atop_agg, phone_focus_mode, linux_configuration, scripts, docs, third_party)"
  ],
  "changes": [
    "Full per-directory history preserved via git-filter-repo and pushed to https://github.com/kuhyx/testsAndMisc-archive",
    "Deleted 1014+ files from main repo via git rm",
    "Refactored scripts/check_python_location.sh to use case statements instead of regex grep (removes excessive-pipes warning, removes unused ALLOWED_DIRS var)",
    "Removed eslint pre-commit hook block since no TS code remains",
    "Trimmed README.md tooling section and project table"

  "verification": [
    {
      "command": "pre-commit run --hook-stage pre-commit",
      "result": "pass",
      "evidence": "All hooks pass after refactor; remaining staged changes are pure deletions plus straightforward config pruning"
    },
    {
      "command": "gh repo view kuhyx/testsAndMisc-archive",
      "result": "pass",
      "evidence": "Archive repo exists and contains 143 filtered commits with preserved per-directory history"

  "risks": [
    "Cross-repo references (CI workflows, external docs) to archived paths will break — none known in main repo after pruning",
    "Future contributors may rediscover archived code only via the sibling repo link in README"

  "rollback": [
    "git revert <archive-commit> to restore deleted paths from history",
    "Re-add removed configs from prior HEAD if needed",
    "Archive repo remains read-only reference; main repo can pull back any directory via git checkout <old-sha> -- <path>"
