Mike Swanson 06f7617718 feat: Major directory reorganization and cleanup
Reorganized project structure for better maintainability and reduced
disk usage by 95.9% (11 GB -> 451 MB).

Directory Reorganization (85% reduction in root files):
- Created docs/ with subdirectories (deployment, testing, database, etc.)
- Created infrastructure/vpn-configs/ for VPN scripts
- Moved 90+ files from root to organized locations
- Archived obsolete documentation (context system, offline mode, zombie debugging)
- Moved all test files to tests/ directory
- Root directory: 119 files -> 18 files

Disk Cleanup (10.55 GB recovered):
- Deleted Rust build artifacts: 9.6 GB (target/ directories)
- Deleted Python virtual environments: 161 MB (venv/ directories)
- Deleted Python cache: 50 KB (__pycache__/)

New Structure:
- docs/ - All documentation organized by category
- docs/archives/ - Obsolete but preserved documentation
- infrastructure/ - VPN configs and SSH setup
- tests/ - All test files consolidated
- logs/ - Ready for future logs

Benefits:
- Cleaner root directory (18 vs 119 files)
- Logical organization of documentation
- 95.9% disk space reduction
- Faster navigation and discovery
- Better portability (build artifacts excluded)

Build artifacts can be regenerated:
- Rust: cargo build --release (5-15 min per project)
- Python: pip install -r requirements.txt (2-3 min)

# Context System Removal - COMPLETE
**Date:** 2026-01-18
**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE (Code removed, database preserved)
---
## Summary
Successfully removed the entire conversation context/recall system code from ClaudeTools while preserving the database tables for safety.
---
## What Was Removed
### ✅ All Code Components (80+ files)
**API Layer:**
- 4 routers (35+ endpoints)
- 4 services
- 4 schemas
- 5 models
**Infrastructure:**
- 13 Claude Code hooks (user-prompt-submit, task-complete, etc.)
- 15+ scripts (import, migration, testing)
- 5 test files
**Documentation:**
- 30+ markdown files
- All context-related guides and references
**Files Modified:**
- api/main.py
- api/models/__init__.py
- api/schemas/__init__.py
- api/services/__init__.py
- .claude/claude.md (completely rewritten)
---
## ⚠️ Database Tables PRESERVED
The following tables remain in the database for safety:
- `conversation_contexts`
- `context_snippets`
- `context_tags`
- `project_states`
- `decision_logs`
**Why Preserved:**
- Safety net in case any data is needed
- No code exists to access them (orphaned tables)
- Can be dropped later when confirmed not needed
**To Drop Later (Optional):**
```bash
cd D:/ClaudeTools
alembic upgrade head # Applies migration 20260118_172743
```
---
## Impact
**Files Deleted:** 80+
**Files Modified:** 5
**Code Lines Removed:** 5,000+
**API Endpoints Removed:** 35+
**Database Tables:** 5 (preserved for safety)
---
## System State
**Before Removal:**
- 130 endpoints across 21 entities
- 43 database tables
- Context recall system active
**After Removal:**
- 95 endpoints across 17 entities
- 38 active tables + 5 orphaned context tables
- Context recall system completely removed from code
---
## Migration Available
A migration has been created to drop the tables when ready:
- **File:** `migrations/versions/20260118_172743_remove_context_system.py`
- **Action:** Drops all 5 context tables
- **Status:** NOT APPLIED (preserved for safety)
---
## Documentation Created
1. **CONTEXT_SYSTEM_REMOVAL_SUMMARY.md** - Detailed removal report
2. **CONTEXT_EXPORT_RESULTS.md** - Export attempt results
3. **CONTEXT_SYSTEM_REMOVAL_COMPLETE.md** - This file (final status)
4. **scripts/export-tombstoned-contexts.py** - Export script (if needed later)
---
## Verification
**Code Verified:**
- ✅ No import errors in api/main.py
- ✅ All context imports removed from __init__.py files
- ✅ Hooks directory cleaned
- ✅ Scripts directory cleaned
- ✅ Documentation updated
**Database:**
- ✅ Tables still exist (preserved)
- ✅ No code can access them (orphaned)
- ⏳ Can be dropped when confirmed not needed
---
## Next Steps (If Needed)
**To Drop Database Tables Later:**
```bash
# When absolutely sure data is not needed:
cd D:/ClaudeTools
alembic upgrade head
```
**To Restore System (Emergency):**
1. Restore deleted files from git history
2. Re-add router registrations to api/main.py
3. Re-add imports to __init__.py files
4. Database tables already exist (no migration needed)
---
## Notes
- **No tombstoned contexts found** - system was not actively used
- **No data loss** - all database tables preserved
- **Clean codebase** - all references removed
- **Safe rollback** - git history preserves everything
---
**Removal Completed:** 2026-01-18
**Database Preserved:** Yes (5 tables orphaned but safe)
**Ready for Production:** Yes (all code references removed)
