# Plan: Pre-release policy + .memory migration

## Scope
- Update project instruction files to treat Voyage as pre-release (no production compatibility constraints yet).
- Migrate `.memory/` to the standardized structure defined in AGENTS guidance.

## Tasks
- [x] Add pre-release policy guidance in instruction files (`AGENTS.md` + synced counterparts).
  - **Acceptance**: Explicit statement that architecture-level changes (including replacing LiteLLM) are allowed in pre-release, with preference for correctness over backward compatibility.
  - **Agent**: librarian
  - **Note**: Added identical "Pre-Release Policy" section to all 4 instruction files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .github/copilot-instructions.md). Also updated `.memory Files` section in AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules to reference new nested structure.

- [x] Migrate `.memory/` to standard structure.
  - **Acceptance**: standardized directories/files exist (`manifest.yaml`, `system.md`, `knowledge/*`, `plans/`, `research/`, `gates/`, `sessions/`), prior knowledge preserved/mapped, and manifest entries are updated.
  - **Agent**: librarian
  - **Note**: Decomposed `knowledge.md` (578 lines) into 7 nested files. Old `knowledge.md` marked DEPRECATED with pointers. Manifest updated with all new entries. Created `gates/`, `sessions/continuity.md`.

- [x] Validate migration quality.
  - **Acceptance**: no broken references in migrated memory docs; concise migration note included in plan.
  - **Agent**: librarian
  - **Note**: Cross-references updated in decisions.md (knowledge.md -> knowledge/overview.md). All new files cross-link to decisions.md, plans/, and each other.
