## 🔍 Finding What You Need

**I want to...**

- **Understand a feature implementation** → Check `implementations/` for feature-specific docs
- **Review test results** → Check `test-reports/` for test documentation
- **See what changed in a version** → Check verification reports in `implementations/`
- **Understand a bug fix** → Look for `*_FIX*.md` files in `implementations/`
- **Review security testing** → Check `SECURITY_*.md` files in `test-reports/`
- **See test coverage** → Check `TEST_SUMMARY.md` in `test-reports/`

## 🛠️ Development Workflow

### 1. Feature Development

```
1. Create feature branch
2. Implement feature
3. Write tests
4. Document implementation
   → Save to dev/implementations/
5. Run verification
6. Create PR
```

### 2. Bug Fixing

```
1. Reproduce bug
2. Create test case
3. Fix bug
4. Document fix
   → Save to dev/implementations/
5. Verify fix
   → Save test report to dev/test-reports/
6. Create PR
```

### 3. Release Process

```
1. Run full test suite
   → Generate test report
2. Run security scans
   → Generate security report
3. Perform QA verification
   → Generate QA report
4. Create verification report
5. Release
```

Old implementation and test documents are periodically moved to `docs/_archive/` to keep this directory focused on recent work.

**Archiving Criteria**:
- Documents older than 6 months
- Related to deprecated features
- Superseded by newer documentation
- No longer relevant to current codebase
