ROADMAP.md— the authoritative mission, principles, architecture, phase plan, success criteria, and quality-gate timeline. Single source of truth. If anything elsewhere disagrees with this file, this file wins.handover.md— short, mutable, current session state. Read at session start, updated at session end. Framing discipline enforced via.claude/rules/handover_framing.md(≤ 100 lines, no log accumulation, no forecast tables, no stop- rationalisation phrases).cw_v0_parity_and_gap_plan.md— the 2026-05-29 cw-v0-vs-cw-v1 parity snapshot + the plan for incorporating v0's gaps into cw v1 (redesigned, not copied; per-gap ordering + ROADMAP-amendment hooks). Consulted when opening Phase 15+ / minting quality-loop rows (ROADMAP §A26).
