📋 Migration Notes

No Breaking Changes

• All paths updated automatically
• Internal references fixed
• Container configuration unchanged
• Application behavior unchanged

What Users Need to Do

• Nothing! All changes are internal
• Documentation links updated in README
• Scripts work from new locations
• Application functions identically

Rollback (if needed)

# Not needed, but if required:
mv docs/* .
mv scripts/* .
# Update README.md links

🔍 Validation Commands

# Verify structure
ls -1 | wc -l  # Should show ~15 items (6 files + 9 dirs)

# Check docs
ls -1 docs/ | wc -l  # Should show 27

# Check scripts
ls -1 scripts/ | wc -l  # Should show 4

# Test container
docker-compose config --quiet  # Should exit cleanly
docker-compose build  # Should succeed
docker-compose up -d  # Should start all services

# Test application
curl -I http://localhost:8889  # Should return 200
