# Archive — startup / kickoff protocol

Superseded/retired records for the session-startup / queue-selection protocol. See
`docs/decisions/archive/README.md` for the archive's general rules (rationale kept verbatim,
never in the active read-path). Active successor: `startup.parallel-orientation` in
`docs/decisions.md`.

## Records formerly in this file

Each record below moved to its own file under `records/` (ersatztv#610); the rationale is
unchanged. Resolve by **key** — that is the stable identity. A date-based pointer from
another doc or an old issue comment should land here and then follow the link.
