docs: clean up .txt files and add file format guidelines

- Archive 5 .txt files to docs/archive/
  - AUDIT_FIX_SUMMARY.txt
  - PROJECT_STATUS_VISUAL.txt
  - SESSION_SUMMARY.txt
  - TEST_VISUAL_SUMMARY.txt
  - CLEANUP_VISUAL_SUMMARY.txt

- Update AGENTS.md with file format guidelines:
  - When to use .txt (ASCII art only)
  - When to use .md (all documentation)
  - .txt lifecycle: create → use → archive immediately
  - Added to cleanup triggers and checklists

Root directory now completely clean:
- 4 .md files (README, AGENTS, CURRENT_STATUS, CLEANUP_COMPLETE)
- 0 .txt files (all archived)

Archive contains:
- 33 .md files (historical documentation)
- 5 .txt files (visual summaries)

+### File Type Guidelines
+
+**Markdown (.md):**
+- Primary format for all documentation
+- Easy to read in plain text and rendered
+- Supports code blocks, links, tables
+- Version control friendly
+
+**Text (.txt):**
+- Only for visual ASCII art summaries
+- Must be archived after session (never permanent)
+- Examples: status boxes, visual diagrams
+- Archive to `docs/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-name.txt`
+
+**Other formats:**
+- Avoid unless absolutely necessary
+- If needed, document in README.md why

 - `SESSION_2025_11_04_SUMMARY.md` → Archive at session end

+- `STATUS_VISUAL.txt` → Archive immediately after session
 
 **Rules:**
 - ✅ Use descriptive names with dates: `YYYY-MM-DD-description.md`
 - ✅ Mark status clearly: `[WIP]`, `[COMPLETE]`, `[ARCHIVED]`
 - ✅ Include date and context at top
+- ✅ Use `.md` for docs, `.txt` only for ASCII art summaries
 - ❌ Don't let root accumulate more than 5-10 working docs
 - ❌ Don't create duplicates (merge or link instead)

+## 📄 File Format Guidelines
+
+### When to Use .txt Files
+
+**Use .txt ONLY for:**
+- ASCII art visual summaries
+- Box diagrams with Unicode characters
+- Terminal-style status displays
+
+**Examples of appropriate .txt content:**
+```
+╔════════════════════════════════════════╗
+║  STATUS: ✅ COMPLETE                   ║
+╚════════════════════════════════════════╝
+```
+
+**Rules:**
+- ✅ Create in root during session for visual impact
+- ✅ Archive immediately after session ends
+- ✅ Use descriptive names: `CLEANUP_VISUAL_SUMMARY.txt`
+- ❌ Never keep .txt files in root long-term
+- ❌ Don't use .txt for regular documentation
+- ❌ Don't duplicate information (use .md instead)
+
+**Lifecycle:**
+```
+Create .txt → Use in session → Archive immediately
+```
+
+### When to Use .md Files
+
+**Use .md for ALL documentation:**
+- Architecture docs
+- Session summaries
+- Status reports
+- Learnings
+- Planning documents
+- API documentation
+- User guides
+
+**Why markdown is preferred:**
+- Renders nicely on GitHub/GitLab
+- Supports code blocks with syntax highlighting
+- Easy to link between documents
+- Better for long-form content
+- Version control friendly
