Phase 1 follow-up: update the active instruction layer (CLAUDE.md, project
structure rule, DECISIONS.md redirect, agent personalities, skill docs) to
reference governance/{decisions,questions,rejected}/<domain>.md instead of the
retired flat decisions/*.md layout.
Path references only — command-surface references (tooling/db/decision*,
decisions-sync, Makefile targets, clerk) are repointed to the pql CLI in the
Phase 4 consumer cutover. Historical archives (docs/sprints, docs/discussions,
docs/workshops) keep their point-in-time decisions/ paths; the separate
whatsinagame/ template distribution is untouched. Agent-memory is gitignored
and out of scope.
The agent/skill repath was applied by tooling/pql-migrate/repath_references.py
(ordered, meaning-preserving replacements; bare-dir rule uses a negative
lookbehind so it can't corrupt a freshly-created governance/decisions/ path),
committed for provenance. CLAUDE.md, project-structure.md, and DECISIONS.md
were hand-edited (structural tree/table changes).

Phase 1 of the pql migration. Moves the flat decisions/*.md layout into
governance/{decisions,questions,rejected}/<domain>.md — the tree pql's
`decisions sync` parses natively (record type from subdir, domain from
filename stem). Proven against pql 1.6.2: sync reports 357 records
(237 D / 108 Q / 12 R), 1057 refs, broken: 0; validate ok.
- 6 D-domain files -> governance/decisions/ (git renames)
- 5 questions-<domain>.md -> governance/questions/<domain>.md (prefix dropped)
- rejected.md split by domain -> governance/rejected/{architecture(R-001..010),
economics(R-011),perception(R-012)}.md
- decisions/README.md + questions.md index folded into governance/README.md;
pql's `decisions sync` now auto-maintains the record index appended below
the hand-written domain guidance (no more manual ID-list table upkeep).
- .pql/config.yaml: canonical vault config (tracked, not ignored).
Link rewrites are token-preserving: only the relative `foo.md` path portion
changes (e.g. `rejected.md#r-011` -> `../rejected/economics.md#r-011`); every
`[D-NNN]` bracket text and `#anchor` stays byte-identical, so pql's reference
extraction is unaffected. The one-shot transform is committed at
tooling/pql-migrate/restructure_decisions.py for provenance.
Codebase path references to decisions/ (CLAUDE.md, rules, skills, docs) are
updated in a follow-up commit.
