docs: retire STATUS.md overclaim; drop stray AGPL licence text - #72
Merged
Conversation
STATUS.md claimed "100% Complete - Production Ready" and directed readers to README_COMPLETE.md, which does not exist in the repository. It also contradicted STATUS.adoc, which reports the accurate position (Alpha, self-graded B-, verification chain incomplete, 8 known gaps). ROADMAP.adoc already flags that "some documentation overstates implementation completeness (being corrected)", and ALIGNMENT-AFFINESCRIPT.adoc names this file as "the main gap". The file self-labelled DEPRECATED. Removing it rather than editing it, so STATUS.adoc is unambiguously canonical, and repointing the CLAUDE.md must-read list accordingly. Also removes LICENSES/AGPL-3.0-or-later.txt, introduced by an estate sweep. No file in the repository declares AGPL; Cargo.toml declares MPL-2.0 and LICENSING.md documents the MPL-2.0 (code) / CC-BY-SA-4.0 (prose) pair. The repo's own policy in .machine_readable/6a2/AGENTIC.a2ml states "no AGPL (JtV code is MPL-2.0, docs CC-BY-SA-4.0)", so the file contradicted declared policy. No functional or proof changes.

Note on the two red checks — pre-existing, not caused by this PR.
Four independent reasons this is not attributable to the changes here:
The fix is upstream (restore/rename the two action repos, or retire the two jobs) and is deliberately out of scope here. Everything else on this PR is green, including |

Follow-up to #72, same class of defect. `CLAUDE.md`'s must-read list pointed at **`README_JTV.md`, which does not exist**. The main README is `README.adoc`. ## Full sweep of that list I swept every backtick-quoted path in the must-read list rather than fixing just the one I tripped over: | Entry | Status | |---|---| | `README_JTV.md` | **DEAD** → fixed to `README.adoc` | | `STATUS.adoc` | OK (fixed in #72) | | `docs/GRAMMAR_EVOLUTION.md` | OK | | `docs/QUANTUM_VISION.md` | OK | | `Justfile` | OK | | `Cargo.lock` | OK | | `target/` | build directory — expected absent until a build runs, not a defect | Relative markdown links in `README.adoc`, `LICENSING.md` and `CONTRIBUTING.md` were also swept: no dead links. One line changed. No source, proof, workflow, or manifest files touched.

What
Two documentation/licensing corrections found during a JtV sitrep. No functional or proof changes.
1. Remove
STATUS.mdIt claimed "100% Complete — Production Ready" and pointed readers at
README_COMPLETE.md— a file that does not exist in the repository.It also directly contradicted
STATUS.adoc, which reports the accurate position: Alpha, self-graded B-, "verification chain still incomplete", 8 enumerated gaps.This is not a new discovery by me — the repo already knew:
ROADMAP.adocflags that "some documentation overstates implementation completeness (being corrected)".ALIGNMENT-AFFINESCRIPT.adoc:79names it: "The main gap.STATUS.mdclaims '100% Complete – Production Ready'".⚠️ THIS FILE IS DEPRECATED.Removing rather than editing, so
STATUS.adocis unambiguously canonical.CLAUDE.md's must-read list is repointed toSTATUS.adocso agent navigation doesn't break.2. Remove
LICENSES/AGPL-3.0-or-later.txtIntroduced by an estate sweep (
sweep3: add license files and SPDX identifiers). It is unused and contradicts declared policy:Cargo.toml→license = "MPL-2.0"LICENSING.mddocuments the canonical MPL-2.0 (code) / CC-BY-SA-4.0 (prose) pair.machine_readable/6a2/AGENTIC.a2mlstates verbatim:"no AGPL (JtV code is MPL-2.0, docs CC-BY-SA-4.0)"To be explicit: this is a stray licence text file, not a mis-stamp. No source file's licence changed, and no licence body was clobbered.
Verification
grep -rIn "STATUS\.md"— remaining hits areCHANGELOG.adoc(historical entry, correctly left alone) andALIGNMENT-AFFINESCRIPT.adoc(prose analysing this very defect). The only live pointer, inCLAUDE.md, is updated.grep -rIn "AGPL-3.0-or-later.txt"— no references..rs,.lean,.idr, workflow, or manifest file touched.Context:
