Active docs/ was stub scaffolding while the real docs sat in docs/_archive/. Restore and correct them, and record the Phase 0 work. - docs/architecture/current.md: verified system map (from archived SYSTEM_OVERVIEW, 9 corrections against code). - docs/research/competitors.md: sourced competitor analysis (from archived PRODUCT_RESEARCH, feature matrix corrected). - docs/decisions/ADR-002-job-application-model.md: the Job/JobApplication split. - docs/application-discovery-report.md, docs/implementation-roadmap.md, docs/phase-0-foundation-report.md, docs/career-workspace-branch-assessment.md. - Remove 10 zero-byte placeholder files that advertised content that never existed.
