Documentation map

The project uses a small hierarchy so overlapping plans do not become competing sources of truth.

1. PROJECT_CONTEXT.md is the canonical description of the vision, current implementation, target architecture, and active constraints.
2. LEARNING_ROADMAP.md owns milestone order, architecture gates, reusable-system exit tests, and intentionally deferred work.
3. BUILD_IN_PUBLIC_PLAN.md owns the scoped Jajce visual slice. It must respect the architecture gates in the learning roadmap.
4. RESOURCE_NODE_MIGRATION.md is a focused migration plan. Phases 1–5 are complete; Phase 6 tracks replacement of the remaining temporary activity markers.
5. ACTION_SYSTEM_ARCHITECTURE.md, ECONOMIC_EVENTS.md, FOOD_STORAGE_ARCHITECTURE.md, SIMULATION_DEFINITIONS.md, and SIMULATION_STATE_SCHEMA.md document the current data contracts.
6. decisions/ contains durable architectural decisions, including consequences and revisit conditions.

When documents disagree:

• code and tests describe current behavior;
• the newest accepted decision record governs architecture;
• PROJECT_CONTEXT.md governs product intent;
• LEARNING_ROADMAP.md governs what should be built next;
• focused plans govern only their stated scope.

Update the smallest relevant set of documents after a decision or milestone. Do not copy full status tables into every plan.
