docs: major cleanup and reorganization
- Archive 30 completed session documents to docs/archive/ - Extract learnings to docs/learnings/ (nix-flakes, nostr-sdk, grasp-audit) - Create CURRENT_STATUS.md as single source of truth - Create AGENTS.md with documentation guidelines - Create docs/archive/README.md for archive organization - Clean root directory: 32 files → 4 files Root directory now contains only: - README.md (project overview) - AGENTS.md (documentation guidelines) - CURRENT_STATUS.md (current state) - CLEANUP_SUMMARY.md (cleanup report) All historical documents preserved in docs/archive/ with proper dating. All reusable knowledge extracted to docs/learnings/. Benefits: - Easy to find current information - Clear document lifecycle - No more documentation sprawl - Learnings are accessible and reusable - Better onboarding for new developers/agents File counts: - Root: 4 (was 32) - Permanent docs: 7 - Learnings: 3 (new) - Archive: 32 (new) - Total: 49 well-organized docs

1# 🎉 Architecture Investigation Complete
2
3## Summary
4
5I have completed a comprehensive investigation of the GRASP protocol, reference implementation, and Rust ecosystem to design the architecture for **ngit-grasp**.
6
7## Key Finding
8
9✅ **The `git-http-backend` Rust crate is sufficiently flexible to allow inline authorization logic**
10
11We do NOT need Git hooks. We can intercept and validate pushes directly in the HTTP handler before spawning Git.
12
13## Decision
14
15**Use inline authorization** (not pre-receive hooks)
16
17### Why This Is Better
18
191. **Better UX**: Direct HTTP error responses vs. parsing hook stderr
202. **Simpler Deployment**: Single Rust binary, no hook management
213. **Easier Testing**: Pure Rust unit tests, no shell scripts
224. **Better Performance**: Skip Git spawn for invalid pushes
235. **Tighter Integration**: Shared state between Git and Nostr components

101## Technology Stack
102
103- **actix-web**: HTTP server
104- **git-http-backend**: Git protocol (Rust crate)
105- **nostr-relay-builder**: Nostr relay (rust-nostr)
106- **tokio**: Async runtime
107
108## Implementation Estimate
109
110- **~1,400 lines of code** (similar to reference)
111- **4-6 weeks** for GRASP-01 MVP
112- **Well-documented** with extensive examples
113
114## GRASP Compliance
115
116### GRASP-01 (MVP)
117- ✅ Designed and documented
118- ⏭️ Ready to implement
119
120### GRASP-02 (Proactive Sync)
121- ✅ Architecture designed
122- ⏭️ Future phase
123
124### GRASP-05 (Archive)
125- ✅ Architecture designed
126- ⏭️ Future phase
127
128## Recommendation
129
130✅ **Proceed with implementation**
131
132The architecture is:
133- Technically sound
134- Pragmatic and achievable
135- Superior to hook-based approach
136- Well-documented
137- Testable
138- GRASP-compliant
139
140## Next Steps
141
1421. **Review** [REVIEW_SUMMARY.md](REVIEW_SUMMARY.md)
1432. **Review** [docs/ARCHITECTURE.md](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md)
1443. **Approve** or provide feedback on architecture
1454. **Begin implementation** following [docs/GETTING_STARTED.md](docs/GETTING_STARTED.md)
146
147## Questions?
