Maintenance round, 2026-08-13. Repo-level files only, so no version bump is due.

FUTURE-IDEAS.md → the tracker

Each parked idea was assessed one by one and moved to its own issue, labelled enhancement + low-priority (QEP-2 label names, created here ahead of the meta#358 rollout so labels sync will conform rather than collide). The issue bodies carry the original evidence plus a dated merit assessment, so deleting the file loses nothing:

Idea Issue Assessment in brief
mirror-lecture #36 Strongest candidate — highest measured frequency, stable playbook
triage-build #37 Real, but coordinate with meta#304's jupyter-book-fixer first
migrate-rng #38 Time-limited; settle the rng convention in the manual first
intake-lecture #39 Real but bursty; build at the start of the next intake batch
migrate-data #40 Fully specified playbook, low volume; wait for a scheduled tranche
editorial-round #41 Conditional on a gap remaining after check-style ships (#3)
benchmarking-programme consumers #42 Telemetry reader is actionable now; the other two are blocked upstream
naming convention #43 Absorbed by the namespace-consolidation proposal

The file's Rejected list is preserved here for the record: per-measurement skills (cold-start, sweep-bench, scaling-curve) are measurements rather than workflows and live as scripts inside the benchmark plugin; typo/grammar skills are too trivial to need a skill; track-runtime is workstream C's job (see #42).

All references to the file (README, AGENTS, CATALOG, developing-skills, myst.yml) now point at the label query.

NEXT-SESSION.md retired

Session state now lives in workplan issues with sub-issues as tasks, per QEP-2 practice — #25 already holds it, revised more recently than the scratch file needed. AGENTS.md states the new convention and the .gitignore entry is gone. (The scratch file's remaining unique content — the gotchas — is already in the shipped docs or in #25.)

README deduplication

README kept restating what other files own: the doc map (AGENTS.md), the repo layout tree (developing-skills § Repo layout), and the validate.py + version-bump details (developing-skills § Versioning and releases, AGENTS § Working in this repo). Those sections are now pointers, and the qe blurb no longer implies check-style runs — it is merged scaffolding, as CATALOG says. README still owns what the doc map assigns it: what the marketplace is, and installation.

…ME stops repeating the other docs

FUTURE-IDEAS.md is retired: each parked idea is now a low-priority enhancement issue carrying its merit assessment (#36-#41), the benchmarking-programme note is #42, and the naming-convention entry is absorbed by the consolidation proposal #43. All pointers to the file now point at the label query.

NEXT-SESSION.md (gitignored scratch) is retired in favour of workplan issues with sub-issues per QEP-2 -- #25 already holds the state -- so AGENTS.md and .gitignore drop the convention.

README.md loses its copies of the doc map, the layout tree, and the validate/version-bump details, pointing instead at AGENTS.md and developing-skills.md where those are canonical; the qe blurb now says check-style is scaffolding rather than implying it runs.

Pull request overview

Maintenance/doc hygiene update that moves “parked ideas” and session state out of repo-root scratch/docs and into the tracker, while deduplicating README content so repo-level docs each own their stated topics.

Changes:

  • Retires FUTURE-IDEAS.md (and removes it from the MyST site TOC), updating references to point at the low-priority enhancement label query instead.
  • Retires the NEXT-SESSION.md scratch-file convention (and removes the .gitignore entry), updating contributor guidance to use workplan issues/sub-issues in the tracker.
  • Rewrites README sections (Documentation/Layout/Contributing) to link to canonical docs instead of restating them.
