# 2026-05-28 — Thursday

## Session: Full laptop file-org reorg — Phases 1+2 done, HALT 2 reached

**Trigger:** Rocky's Cowork-generated `/goal` to organise `C:\Users\mclou\` to professional standard. Multi-phase orchestrator + sub-agent execution.

### What got done

**Phase 1 — Audit (~45 min)**
- Recursive walk of 18,364 files in scope (excluded node_modules, .git, .venv, build, dist, system folders)
- Identified 9 GB of recoverable waste (pre-marked recycle + dup zips + dup extracts + stale folders)
- Found 5 loose OAuth `client_secret_*.json` files in Downloads (CRITICAL surface)
- Identified 10 LFCS job folders already structured inside Downloads\LFCS\Projects\
- Wrote 5 audit/decision docs to Desktop
- Locked 12 decisions via AskUserQuestion ladders

**Phase 2 — Backup + Wave 1+2 (~3 hours including failed retries)**
- robocopy backup hit infinite recursion (backup dir was inside Desktop source → robocopy /XJ doesn't catch regular folders). Resolved by moving backup to `C:\_BACKUPS\` off-tree
- Verified backup: 13/15 folders match, 10/10 random hashes match
- Wave 1 (5 sub-agents parallel) — 5.4 GB to Quarantine + small Archive moves, all PASS
- Wave 2 (3 sub-agents parallel) — 5 lfcs-* folders consolidated, Downloads sorted, RateRight-Dev archived with locked ACL, all PASS
- 10 source folders/files verified removed from user root

### Standing rules added to memory (7 new)

- `feedback-parallel-tree-hash-compare` — hash-compare before "which tree" Qs, surface divergences only
- `feedback-drawings-discipline-above-asset` — discipline ALWAYS parent of asset in drawing folders
- `feedback-drawings-discipline-above-engineer` — full path `[Project]\[Asset]\[Discipline]\[Firm]\`, no skipping levels (LOCKED form, supersedes earlier "engineer alone when 1:1")
- `feedback-specs-discipline-first-path` — specs at `01c\[Discipline]\[Asset]\` (reversed from drawings)
- `feedback-commercial-docs-01a-path` — RFQ/Conditions/SoW at `01a\` regardless of page count
- `feedback-drawing-titleblock-source-of-truth` — title block, never filename. Read PDF, parse title block, batch — only surface true ambiguities
- `feedback-named-backup-folders-per-folder-triage` — BACKUP_/temp_/old_ prefix → per-folder triage with prefix-driven defaults
- `feedback-credentials-never-in-downloads` — credentials direct-to-`.secrets\`, never Downloads. Relocate-not-revoke for found-loose
- *(One earlier: `feedback-lfcs-rfi-email-pattern-validated` — unchanged)*

### Vault docs written (Phase 4 lead-in)

- `90_Reference\file-system-structure.md` — canonical layout
- `90_Reference\file-naming-conventions.md` — naming rules + quick-ref card
- `90_Reference\file-org-maintenance-schedule.md` — daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly cadence

### Side findings flagged (separate work)

1. `scripts\campaign\gmail-auth.js` has CLIENT_SECRET + REFRESH_TOKEN hardcoded in source (lines 5-7), committed + VPS-synced. Needs rotation + git-history scrub.
2. Job 2642 numbering collision — audit said "Soak City Hoarding (Sheeth)", new pack today is "Richie Benaud Oval FRP (Solutions Plus)". Same number, different project.
3. 2631 zip hash discrepancy — 4 May copies have different SHA-1s but supposedly identical content (Drive re-zips with different compression). Wave 3 needs to extract + content-hash before quarantining non-canonical copies.
4. 2633 May-20 zip hash differs from May-17 canonical despite same size. Resolve as duplicate or new revision.
5. Unknown jobs in `_unsorted\Issued for Construction-20260506T...\` (Bingo Civil/Structural OCE13759 + Eastern Creek LTP). Staged at `LFCS\Precedent-Lessons\precedent-staging\unsorted-inbound\`.

### Net impact

- ~7.8 GB reorganised/recovered in Phase 2
- 10 stale top-level folders/files removed from user root
- 5 OAuth files relocated from Downloads to `.secrets\` with locked ACL
- Top-level structure now: LFCS / RateRight / Archive / Inbox / _Quarantine_2026-05-28 / .secrets + repos + system folders

### Currently at: HALT 2 — awaiting Rocky's decisions

Rocky is in office doing other LFCS work. Pinged at HALT 2 with 8 flagged items needing his call before Wave 3 (active LFCS project moves) can dispatch. Wave 3 plan ready to fire on per-project sign-off.

### Queued for Phase 4 (post-Wave 3)

- Run `gen-index.ps1 -All` to write `_INDEX.md` master + per-folder
- Apply `readme-template-lfcs-job.md` to each LFCS\Projects\<job>\ folder
- Update vault structure doc with actual Wave 3 outcomes
- HALT 3 final sign-off

### Open follow-ups outside this session

- Rotate gmail-auth.js hardcoded credentials + scrub git history
- Confirm 2642 numbering (renumber or two-2642s)
- Decide whether to revive any hibernated Codebase\lfcs-orchestrator daemons (18 LIVE codebase files reference the now-moved `lfcs-*` paths)
- Quarantine sweep scheduled 2026-06-27 (30-day rule)
