Documentation maintenance and history

Maintenance explains which source owns each surface, how to validate changes, and how to regenerate search and wiki content. The October audit records the reviewed revisions, corrections, link evidence and remaining validation limits.

Integration plans, dated audits, community-report handoffs and docs/superpowers/ are engineering history. Their old DONE/pending states, branches and package names describe that baseline; they are not current installation instructions. Start with the current reference above. Historical records remain available for provenance: gap ledger, community reports, contributor roadmap, VMC audit, Ember plan, HTTP plan, RA plan and legacy changelog.
