Rationale
Why These Files Were Removed
- Superseded Documents: Replaced by newer, more comprehensive documentation
- Historical Fix Summaries: Issues have been resolved and are no longer relevant
- Stale Test Reports: Test status is now maintained in CI/CD pipelines
- Outdated Status Reports: Current status is reflected in active documentation
- Historical Organization Docs: One-time organizational tasks that are complete
What Was Kept
- ✅ Current Requirements: Technical-Requirements.md, Functional-Requirements.md
- ✅ Current Code Reviews: Code-Review-Report-2025-01-08.md, Code-Review-Recommendations-Implementation-Summary.md
- ✅ Implementation Summaries: All current feature implementation documentation
- ✅ API Documentation: Complete API reference documentation
- ✅ Configuration Guides: PostgreSQL, Aspire, PowerShell scripts
- ✅ Platform-Specific Docs: Current Android, Windows, iOS documentation
- ✅ Architecture Docs: Current architecture and refactoring documentation
