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.

Every major decision should support:

- Re-entering information.
- Duplicating career history.
Principle 3
AI Assists, Humans Decide
AI should:
- Suggest.
- Improve.
- Analyse.
- Accelerate.
AI should not:
- Replace user judgement.
- Modify facts silently.
- Invent experience.
Principle 4
Simplicity Over Complexity
Powerful features should remain approachable.
Avoid:
- Complex workflows.
- Excessive configuration.
- Feature overload.
Principle 5
Progressive Disclosure
Show users what they need when they need it.
Example:

Quality Over Quantity
A small number of excellent features is better than many unfinished features.

However:
Do not sacrifice user experience today for hypothetical future requirements.
