CTC Research Inputs

  • Status: RESEARCH INPUT ONLY
  • Planning authority: ../requirements/CTC_PRODUCT_PLATFORM_AND_DOCUMENTATION_CONTEXT.md
  • Owning foundation Task: P1-001; live Task status is owned only by the Roadmap
  • Purpose: preserve detailed investigation and recovered source material without turning it into current Phase, Task, Roadmap, Request, Harness or deployment authority.
  • Retention/removal: keep dated inputs while a current owner or future Task needs their evidence; remove only through a separately approved disposition after absorption, consumer review and Git preservation are confirmed.

Rules

  1. Research collections use descriptive topic names, not Task numbers.
  2. Raw files may contain historical numeric headings, COMPLETE, IN PROGRESS, Unlocks, NEXT or Status owner; these are provenance from the original file and are not current status.
  3. Snapshot files remain byte-preserved unless a separate interpreted document is created alongside them.
  4. Research may inform a user-approved Phase or Task, but it does not create one.
  5. Freshness-sensitive facts are rechecked only where later work depends on them; the underlying research is not discarded.
  6. Research is not a document catalog, generated index, validator input or automatic quality gate.
  7. Downstream work reads the detailed sources rather than relying only on a summary when the research is relevant.

Collections

  • platform-foundation/2026-07-30/: full foundation information-gathering records covering documents, competitors, repository structure, verification and Request/Control Tower boundaries.
  • recovered-documents/2026-07-30/: exact and interpreted material recovered after commit cc25434eaa0dfec09eaf22e1579f2fb00870b4e9, including the preliminary recovery baseline used by P1-001.

The original Git history remains authoritative for commit ancestry and original paths. The research tree keeps detailed material visible without making historical labels or conclusions current authority.
