Timothy asked why the kickoff handoff doc stores historical narrative when it should be instructions. It shouldn't — its own lore section is chartered as "STANDING workflow/orchestration rules only" with the why belonging in docs/decisions.md. But an inventory of every bullet against the decision corpus inverted the premise: only ~8 of ~38 were actually covered. 19 had no record anywhere and 11 more were half-covered, so that single file was the ONLY copy of the mandatory review rubric, the whole CI-triage vocabulary, the build-concurrency policy, the H12 session-end audit, and the plumbing-merge recipe. Pruning first would have destroyed them. So the records come first. New topic file docs/decisions/workflow-process.md carries 32 records (ci.*, process.*, testing.*) covering every NONE and PARTIAL the inventory found, including the Gitea `?milestones=` no-op bug whose only copy was the archived selector section this prune deletes. Only then the prune: HARD CONSTRAINTS and the lore section become one- or two-line rules, each citing the decision key that holds its evidence, and the 40-line "Archived — do not follow" section is gone. 636 -> 353 lines, with every cited key verified to resolve against the corpus. The aggregate corpus budget is re-baselined 4800 -> 5600 with the reason in the code: the corpus grew because knowledge MOVED into it, which is the system working, not drift. refs #542
