# `docs/inprogress/` — maintainer workspace

**Per DOC-02 + DOC-11:** this directory is the **workspace** where active
maintainer-internal docs live while they're in flight. It is **not a graveyard**
— completed trackers SHOULD move to `docs/archive/<year>/` within one release
cycle of closure.

## What goes here

- **Living priority trackers** (per DOC-06): one per concern area, following
  the §1..§6 canonical shape. Each work unit carries verified `file:line`
  evidence and a falsifiable concrete output.
- **Long-horizon planning docs** (per DOC-06 carve-out): roadmaps that inform
  tracker scope. These are *not* trackers (no per-item closure).
- **One-shot audit passes** (e.g., `MGF_STANDARDS_CONFORMANCE.md`). Finite
  scope; move to archive when complete.
- **Rollout / notification docs** — cross-project announcements for a standards
  bump, in-flight while the rollout is live; archive once sent + acknowledged.

## What does NOT go here

- **Consumer-reported proposals** → `FEEDBACK.md` (per DOC-10).
- **Engineering rules / MUSTs** → `docs/standards/`.
- **Federation-operations recipes** → `docs/recipes/`.

## Promotion / demotion mechanics

| Transition | Trigger |
|---|---|
| Open → Closed | All items in the tracker's priority table are ✅, or the rest are formally deferred to a next-pass tracker |
| Closed → Archived | One release cycle after closure (per DOC-11); move to `docs/archive/<year>/<original-name>.md` |
| In-progress → Reformatted | Strategic doc matures enough that items are now narrow + falsifiable; rename + reshape into canonical tracker form |

## Index (current)

| File | Status | What |
|---|---|---|
| `MGF_STANDARDS_CONFORMANCE.md` | active | Per-MUST compliance table for this repo against its own standards; includes the CFM-04 carve-out record for the TS-23 non-adoption. |
| `federation-automation-and-release-plan.md` | planning | Long-horizon roadmap (DRAFT v0.1, not yet approved) for the `mgf-fed` automation + two-mode release model — a planning doc per the DOC-06 carve-out, not a closure-tracked tracker. |

## Archived

Closed trackers move to `docs/archive/<year>/` per DOC-11.
