documentation-rules

Active documentation must describe verified current behavior or a clearly labelled future decision. Prefer one authoritative document plus short topic guides that link to it; do not copy long architecture sections across files. Update behavior docs in the same change as code.

Use docs/architecture/current.md for the verified system, docs/implementation-roadmap.md for delivery status, docs/MASTER_IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md for product constraints, and BLOCKERS.md for external decisions or credentials. docs/_archive is historical evidence and must not be treated as current work.
