Change Verification Checklist
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

✅ 1. Script Reorganization
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

**Change:** Moved `check_docs_style.sh` to `scripts/utils/`

**Verification Results:**

.. code-block:: text

   ✅ File Location:
      - New: scripts/utils/check_docs_style.sh (EXISTS)
      - Old: scripts/check_docs_style.sh (REMOVED)
   
   ✅ Old Path References:
      - In documentation: 0 active references
      - Only historical/migration docs reference old path
   
   ✅ New Path References:
      - Found: 10+ correct references
      - All point to: scripts/utils/check_docs_style.sh
   
   ✅ Script Functionality:
      - Executable permissions: Preserved
      - Runs successfully from new location
      - All checks pass

**Files Updated:**

1. `scripts/utils/check_docs_style.sh` - Updated usage comment

✅ 2. Terminology Simplification
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

**Change:** Simplified technical language in user guides

- And 40+ more simplifications

✅ 3. Git Ignore Policy
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

**Change:** Enhanced .gitignore to block all .md except README.md

      - Blocked .md files: ALL others
      - docs/.vision/ folder: Properly ignored
      - docs/.vision/** contents: Properly ignored
   
   ✅ .gitignore Rules:
      - *.md blocking: Active
      - README.md exception: Active (!/README.md)
      - docs/.vision/ rule: Active
      - Rule precedence: Correct

Documentation Audit History
----------------------------

**Original Date:** October 23, 2025  
**Version:** 0.3.0  
**Status:** Complete and Verified  

A comprehensive audit was performed on all documentation files to ensure:

1. All version references are accurate and current
2. Present-tense documentation references v0.3.0
3. Historical markers are properly preserved
4. Assessment metadata is up-to-date
5. Documentation builds successfully without warnings

Audit Scope
~~~~~~~~~~~

**Files Audited**: 40+ files including:

- All Sphinx .rst files (26 files)
- README.md
- Makefile
- Git automation scripts (post-commit hook, smart-commit)
- Python source files (version markers)
- Configuration files

Version Reference Strategy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Updated to v0.3.0:**

- All ``.. versionadded::`` directives in present-tense documentation
- All ``.. versionchanged::`` directives in present-tense documentation
- Section headers (removed version qualifiers like "v0.0.6")
- Assessment metadata and dates
- Example version bump demonstrations (Makefile, git hooks)
- Cross-references in active documentation
- README.md version examples

**Intentionally Preserved:**

- **changelog.rst**: All version entries (v0.0.1 through v0.0.12)
- **Enhancement notes**: "Enhanced in v0.0.X" markers in API docs
- **Code comments**: Version introduction markers (e.g., "v0.0.12+")
- **Module docstrings**: Version history tracking
- **License file**: Original version (0.0.1)
- **Contributing guide**: Historical enhancement sections

GitIgnore Policy Verification
------------------------------

**Original Date:** October 23, 2025  
**Status:** ✅ VERIFIED AND ENFORCED

This section documents the verification of .gitignore rules to ensure that only README.md 
is tracked among Markdown files, and all other .md files and the docs/.vision/ folder 
are properly ignored.

Verification Process
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. **Current Repository State Check**

   .. code-block:: bash

      git ls-files "*.md"
      # Expected: Only README.md

2. **Test .md File Blocking**

   .. code-block:: bash

      echo "test" > test.md
      git status
      # Expected: test.md should NOT appear in untracked files

3. **Verify .vision/ Folder Blocking**

   .. code-block:: bash

      mkdir -p docs/.vision
      echo "test" > docs/.vision/test.md
      git status
      # Expected: .vision/ folder should NOT appear

Verification Results
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

✅ **All Checks Passed**

.. code-block:: text

   Repository State:
   ✅ Only README.md is tracked (git ls-files "*.md")
   ✅ All other .md files are ignored
   ✅ docs/.vision/ folder is fully ignored
   ✅ .gitignore rules are correctly ordered

   .gitignore Rules:
   ✅ Line 82: *.md (blocks all markdown files)
   ✅ Line 83: !/README.md (allows root README.md only)
   ✅ Line 85: docs/.vision/ (blocks vision folder)

Script Reorganization Verification
-----------------------------------

**Original Date:** October 23, 2025  
**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE

This section documents the migration of `check_docs_style.sh` from `scripts/` to 
`scripts/utils/` and verification that all references were updated.

Migration Details
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**File Moved:**
   - From: ``scripts/check_docs_style.sh``
   - To: ``scripts/utils/check_docs_style.sh``

**Verification Steps:**

1. ✅ File exists at new location
2. ✅ Old location file removed
3. ✅ All documentation references updated
4. ✅ Script functionality preserved
5. ✅ Executable permissions preserved

Reference Updates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All references to the script were updated in:

1. `docs/sphinx/developer_guide/documentation_style_guide.rst`
2. `docs/sphinx/developer_guide/terminology_simplification.rst`
3. `docs/sphinx/developer_guide/gitignore_verification.rst`
4. Script usage comment updated

Legacy Reference Handling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Historical documents intentionally retain old path references for accuracy:

- Migration announcement documents
- Historical verification logs
- Changelog entries

.. note::
   This archive preserves important quality assurance records while reducing active 
   documentation maintenance burden. All verification procedures documented here 
   remain valid examples of best practices for future changes.
