# `docs/archive/` — completed work, kept as historical record

> **Charter (DOC-03 / DOC-11):** the resting place for docs whose scope is
> *complete* — closed priority trackers, superseded redesign notes,
> per-version release notifications, one-off audits. An entry moves here
> once all its items are closed (or formally deferred) per DOC-11's
> archive cadence. Archived docs are **point-in-time record**: they are
> NOT rewritten to match later reality (a rename or a standards change
> does not edit history here).

## What goes here

- Closed `docs/inprogress/` trackers, organised by year (`docs/archive/<year>/`).
- Superseded design/redesign notes that retain historical value.
- Per-release notification docs and completed audits.

## What does NOT go here

- Living trackers → `docs/inprogress/`.
- Anything still being actively worked → its working bucket.
