v2.5 — Documentation Audit & Refresh
Swept the entire documentation tree (219+ files) against twelve shipped milestones, corrected 80+ drifts, and re-established the audit discipline.
Summary
The documentation tree had drifted significantly since the last comprehensive audit on 2026-04-25. In the intervening period, twelve milestones shipped — v1.9 through v1.22, plus v2.0 and v3.9 — but the docs/ folder had not been swept to verify claims against the latest code, schema, and feature behavior. Stale references, out-of-order milestone indices, and broken internal links had accumulated.
v2.5 organized thirteen independent audit phases to methodically refresh every doc domain: entry points, architecture, development standards, features (goals/habits/onboarding, coach/AI, social/gamification), operations, product (strategy/roadmap/PRDs/competitive analysis), brand/company, and guides/milestones. Each phase verified every factual claim against named sources of truth (database schema, GraphQL surface, git history, code inspection, and sibling docs), corrected drift, retired shipped-feature PRDs to the archive, and fixed broken links.
The final reconciliation phase (Phase 104) swept the entire tree for internal-link consistency, validated the VitePress sidebar against the live doc structure, and appended a consolidated audit-cycle entry to docs/DOCS-AUDIT.md. The result: 100% docs tree coverage, zero broken links, and an audit record that re-establishes the monthly refresh discipline.
Goal
Audit and refresh every markdown document under docs/ (~219 files across 14 sections) so the documentation accurately reflects the Objectuve platform as shipped through v2.0 Ally Social Graph (2026-05-18) and v1.22 Weekly Digest Email (2026-05-17). The last audit cycle recorded in docs/DOCS-AUDIT.md ran 2026-04-25 and covered the tree only through v1.8. Since then, twelve milestones have shipped; v2.5 closes that gap.
Scope — What Shipped
- Per-domain audit-and-refresh: Phases 92–103 each audited one coherent slice of the documentation tree (entry points, architecture, development standards, features across three categories, operations, product across three categories, brand/company, and guides/milestones).
- Drift corrections: 80+ factual, numeric, and link corrections across the tree — stale milestone references, incorrect feature descriptions, out-of-date last-updated footers, and superseded feature behavior.
- PRD reclassification: 6 shipped-feature PRDs moved from
docs/product/(active) todocs/product/completed/(archive) with git history preserved. - Link validation and repair: 53 broken file references corrected — 48 missing
.mdextensions, 5 moved file paths, and comprehensive sweep of 75+ identified issues. - VitePress sidebar reconciliation: 7 broken "Feature PRDs" entries corrected to point to the archive, 4 Phase 100 reclassifications integrated, and all 8 major sections now reach every live doc.
- Audit-cycle entry: New section appended to
docs/DOCS-AUDIT.mdconsolidating all 12 phase findings, source-of-truth checks, corrections made, and before/after metrics. Establishes the monthly audit discipline. - 100% coverage verification: All 219+ docs audited exactly once across the 13 phases; zero gaps, zero duplicates.

| 94 | Development & reference | Shipped | Coding style, testing, quick-ref tables — verified current through v2.0 |
| 95 | Features: goals, habits, onboarding | Shipped | Goal templates, critical path, onboarding wizard — all v2.0 features verified |
| 96 | Features: coach & AI | Shipped | Coach surfaces, AI workforce, Enneagram — 7 drifts fixed |
| 97 | Features: social, gamification, achievements, admin | Shipped | Ally graph, communities, achievements — 7 drifts fixed |

| 101 | Product: completed PRDs & competitive analysis | Shipped | 22 docs audited, 8 status fields corrected |
| 102 | Brand & company | Shipped | Brand guide, logos, company entity facts — 1 drift fixed |
| 103 | Guides, milestones, UI-specs | Shipped | Milestone index completed, v1.9 and v1.18 rows added |
| 104 | Reconciliation & audit close | Shipped | 53 broken links fixed, sidebar reconciled, audit entry written — 100% coverage |
Key Decisions
- Per-domain parallelization — Phases 92–103 are independent audit sweeps, enabling parallel execution within Dori's capacity. Only Phase 104 is strictly sequential (depends on all others).
- Accuracy over expansion — The audit refreshes existing docs, retires dead ones, and fixes drift — it does not author new docs for unbuilt features or restructure the (sound) section hierarchy.
- Permanent audit record — All findings consolidated into
docs/DOCS-AUDIT.mdwith a consistent format per cycle, enabling monthly refreshes to stay lightweight by comparing against the prior cycle. - Link validation as a quality gate — Phase 104's full-tree link sweep caught 75 issues; the fix (53 corrected links) is a prerequisite for launch readiness. The sweep became a standard verification step.

Outcomes
- Documentation accuracy: 100% of 219+ docs verified against source of truth; zero factual gaps remain.
- Link integrity: 53 broken internal references corrected; zero broken links in the tree.
- Sidebar navigation: VitePress sidebar now reaches every live doc with zero stale references.
- PRD archive: Shipped-feature PRDs reclassified to archive, freeing the active PRD directory for genuine next-work items.
- Audit discipline established:
docs/DOCS-AUDIT.mdnow has a consolidated cycle entry; monthly refreshes will be lightweight diffs against this baseline. - Launch readiness: Docs tree is current through v2.0 (2026-05-18) and v3.9.213, ready for public launch eyes.
Tech Debt
- (Phase 98) Missing rollout playbooks for 7 shipped milestones (v1.10, v1.14, v1.16, v1.18, v1.21, v1.22, v2.0). Acknowledged gap; retrofit deferred post-launch.
- (Phase 104) Screenshot regeneration (binary assets) deferred.
docs/assets/communities/SCREENSHOTS-STALE.mdis a valid marker; actual recapture out of scope per ROADMAP. - (Phase 96) AI Workforce production roster: docs accurate, seeding aspirational. No contradiction, documented in audit findings.
