Documentation process

Use simple words and keep each document focused. The owner's latest instructions and the live project take precedence over older notes.

Information	Place
Milestone order	Roadmap
One goal, its status and checklist	Tasks
Test steps, result and limits	Testing
Current usage or system guidance	Guides and development setup
Dated source maps, plans and evidence	Document inventory and archive

Record who tested a result, what they did and what remains unverified. A passing check proves only its stated scope. Update one owning page and link to it instead of copying long checklists. Preserve history, authored data and recovery files; fix links when moving documents. Keep old paths required by project instructions working.

Use descriptive lowercase filenames with hyphens. Split long pages when doing so makes them easier to use, not just to meet a line count. Keep task status accurate, including blocked work and test limits.
