# Preservation impact and traceability

Every row preserves the **complete original capability group**, not just the shorthand below. Authority: [Phase 1 ledger](../audit/FUNCTIONALITY_INVENTORY.md), [Phase 2 tests/gaps](../phase-2/PRESERVATION_MATRIX.md) and [traceability contract](../phase-2/TRACEABILITY.md). All 57 IDs retain meaning. No deprecation is proposed.

## Architectural recommendation index

| Recommendation | Planned change / existing behavior retained | Affected groups | Phase 4 or later validation |
|---|---|---|---|
| ARC-01 [Information architecture](INFORMATION_ARCHITECTURE.md) | Group current capabilities, retain every low-frequency destination | All 57 | Full destination ledger and role visibility; no removed function |
| ARC-02 [Routes](ROUTE_PLAN.md) | Keep 31 patterns; staged Board alias and precise old section mapping | E01–E09, J01–J10, W01–W12, C01–C12, M01–M06, S01–S05, A01–A03 | Real App entries/back/refresh/capture/dirty/account switch |
| ARC-03 [Shell](APP_SHELL.md) | Reuse collapse/drawer/commands/private-tree lifetime | E07–E09, S02–S04, A01–A03 | Focus, current parent, identity disposal, theme/locale |
| ARC-04 [Personal dashboard](DASHBOARD_ARCHITECTURE.md) | Preserve current charts/visibility; data-qualified expansion | S01, S02, W02–W12, C05 | Exact metric denominators/source; owner layout and nonavailable states |
| ARC-05 [Admin dashboard](DASHBOARD_ARCHITECTURE.md) | Separate new aggregate view from current admin actions | A01–A03, S04 | Server authorization/aggregate-only response; no individual drill-down |
| ARC-06 [Jobs](JOBS_WORKSPACE.md) | Table/Board one view owner; existing filters/statuses/bulk retained | J01–J10, W01, S03 | Saved views, filtered parity, partial failure, restore, keyboard |
| ARC-07 [Job workspace](JOB_WORKSPACE.md) | Consolidate sections without changing artifact/send ownership | W01–W12, M01–M05, C05–C12 | Native package success, source relationships, dirty/send/history |
| ARC-08 [Career](CAREER_PROFILE_UX.md) | Explicit canonical source and import review | C01–C04, C07, C10, C11, E06, E09 | Source/override/reset, import accept/discard, owner denial |
| ARC-09 [CV](CV_WORKSPACE.md) | Clean editor/preview and advanced disclosure, full controls retained | C05–C12, W05, W07 | Pagination/preview focus, history, AI no-write, canonical isolation |
| ARC-10 [Documents](DOCUMENTS_UX.md) | Index existing artifacts; no replacement store | W05–W08, C05–C12, M04, S05 | Owner list/download/attach, current vs frozen, immutable bytes |
| ARC-11 [AI](AI_INTERACTION_MODEL.md) | Contextual reviewed suggestions with explicit target | W03, W05, W06, W09, W10, C03, C04, C11, S04, E09 | Accept/reject, stale/malformed/context switch, source eval |
| ARC-12 [Commands/notices/tasks](COMMANDS_NOTIFICATIONS_TASKS.md) | Retain command, reminder, inbox and provider distinctions | E07–E09, J01–J04, J08, W04, W11, W12, M01–M06, S02–S04 | No-write command, task vs notice, real send safeguards |
| ARC-13 [Responsive](RESPONSIVE_STRATEGY.md) | Adapt existing mobile workflows without losing features | All 57 | Breakpoint dirty/focus preservation; real touch/zoom |
| ARC-14 [Design system](DESIGN_SYSTEM_ARCHITECTURE.md) | Refine MUI tokens/states, keep stack/identity | All 57; E08 shared owner | Loaded mode/locale/contrast/state fixtures |
| ARC-15 [Components](COMPONENT_ARCHITECTURE.md) | Small extractions with domain state kept intact | All 57 | Consumer regression; no duplicated network/save owner |
| ARC-16 [Accessibility](ACCESSIBILITY_PLAN.md) | Structural focus/naming/contrast first | All 57 | Loaded axe + keyboard + manual assistive technology |

Ranges above use existing PRES aliases (e.g. E07 = PRES-E07); they never define new IDs. New capabilities use NEW-01–NEW-16 in Open decisions. Their presence does not count as implemented preservation.

## 57-group change-impact matrix

“Retained” = **yes, required by this plan**, not a claim that a migration has executed. Baseline test names below identify representative Phase 2 evidence; the linked Phase 2 row includes exact paths, other tests and known limits. New verification described here is work for the phase touching that surface. Phase 4 only exercises relevant shared foundations; it does not restructure all these workflows.

## Trace chain and readiness

For every subsequent change record:

**PRES-ID + original sub-workflow → ARC/NEW requirement → implementation commit and owner → named executed regression → visual/UX evidence → remaining gaps.**

Use a scoped trace sheet linked from [Phase 2 traceability](../phase-2/TRACEABILITY.md); the table above is planning impact only. Example, not completed work:

| PRES / requirement | Architecture | Implementation | Regression | Visual/UX |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PRES-E08 accessible semantic states | ARC-14/16; P4-01 | Not started | Existing theme/feedback tests plus planned loaded contrast/focus fixture | Not performed |
| PRES-J07 unified Board entry | ARC-02/06 | Not started, Phase 5 | Filtered parity, exact status/keyboard cancel and /kanban alias | EN/NB, themes, phone/desktop/touch pending |
| PRES-W07 frozen package | ARC-07/10 | Blocked by P2-D01 | Native capture currently expected failure; post-capture assertions unproven | No migration approval |

**57/57 groups mapped, zero approved removals.** This is 100% architecture traceability, not 100% automated workflow coverage or implementation readiness. Phase 2 contains explicit provider, production, accessibility, visual and native SQLite gaps. Preserve them until evidence closes them.
