## Why These Were Archived

### Not Deleted Because:
- Historical record of project evolution
- Documents real bugs and their fixes
- Shows learning process (mistakes → corrections)
- Useful for understanding "why did we change this?"

### But Not Active Because:
- Dated (specific to 2026-02-10)
- Superseded by corrected documentation
- Naming schemes changed (Project 1/2 → descriptive names)
- Clutter for new users in main directory

## If You Need These

These documents are still valid for understanding:
- How comparison mode bugs were discovered and fixed
- Evolution of dogfooding documentation structure
- Why we moved from Project N naming to descriptive names

But for **current dogfooding**, use:
- `../README.md` - Main dogfood guide
- `../httpclient/` - HTTP client exercise (complete)
- `../msgqueue/` - Message queue exercise (with evaluation)
- `../dbpool/` - Database pool exercise
- `../cachewrap/` - Cache client exercise
