\section*{Archive: Legacy Documents}

The \texttt{docs/working/archive/legacy/} directory preserves development
records from the StarForth physics engine's early validation phases (late 2025).
These documents are retained as a historical record of decisions made during
initial design, not as references for current implementation. They are neither
current nor actionable; the architecture they describe has been superseded by
the production codebase and the published \textsc{ssrn} paper.

Researchers and maintainers who require historical context for specific design
decisions should consult this archive directly rather than the formal volumes.
