Converge Copilot Instructions and Remaining Intent Files with Hub

[ptr727]

Replaces #88 (closed automatically when its base branch, chore/hub-resync-2026-08, was deleted
after #86 merged; GitHub won't let a closed PR's base be reopened once retargeted or its base be
changed while closed, so this is the same branch, rebuilt as a single commit on the current
develop tip, opened fresh). Part of the periodic hub resync alongside #86 and #87, both now
merged. Audit run 2026-08-29T01:09:26Z | hub b823bc4.

• Rewrite .github/copilot-instructions.md's four declared sections to the current hub
  canonical (the review runbook shrank substantially, its mechanics now delegated to
  scripts/pr_review.py). Preserve the (currently empty) Disproved Claims ledger.
• Move the file's nine undeclared, repo-specific sections (architecture, patterns, processing
  pipeline, per-command implementation detail, test layout) into a new ARCHITECTURE.md, the
  destination spec/section-model.md declares for this content. Drop "Command Line Usage"
  outright as a duplicate of README.md's own Usage section.
• Fix a round of real staleness bugs review caught along the way on Converge Copilot Instructions and Remaining Intent Files with Hub #88, several pre-dating this
  resync: nine in the newly-extracted ARCHITECTURE.md (dead file/test references, an
  incomplete extensions list, wrong video conversion tiers, a wrong JSON context name, a stale
  trim pattern, a broken relative link, hard-coded test counts already drifted twice), plus
  WORKFLOW.md's D1.1/D1.4/D1.5/D4.1 clauses and their scenario table rows, which described a
  paths-filter/plan-job shape this repo had already migrated away from (verified directly
  against the current test-pull-request.yml/publish-release.yml), and AGENTS.md's own
  preamble, which still routed architecture content at .github/copilot-instructions.md after
  this same change moved it.
• Re-vendor CODESTYLE.md (repoint two dead GOVERNANCE.md "Running the Linters Locally" links
  at OPERATIONS.md "Local Verification"; adopt the hub's stronger pre-commit-gate wording; keep
  the repo's own "The Full Post-Change Set" subsection) and cspell.json's fleet word list.

All threads on #88 were resolved before it closed; nothing carries over as outstanding.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Split hub sync from repository corrections

• ➕ Makes byte-locked vendor changes easier to compare with the hub.
• ➕ Narrows each review to either canonical drift or repository-specific accuracy.
• ➖ Creates an intermediate state with stale links and misplaced architecture content.
• ➖ Duplicates review and validation overhead for tightly coupled documentation changes.

Recommendation: Keep the atomic migration because extracting architecture, updating routing links, and correcting the relocated content are coupled and should land consistently. Reviewers should still validate vendored sections separately against hub commit b823bc4, then verify repository-specific workflow claims against the checked-in YAML.

Code Review by Qodo

🐞 Bugs (0)📘 Rule violations (0)📜 Skill insights (0)

1. Conversion date step omitted✓ Resolved🐞 Bug≡ Correctness

Description

The new conversion guidance says that TagsFromFile eliminates a separate date-setting step, but
ProcessTask explicitly calls SetCreateDateAsync after copying metadata. An agent following this
documentation could remove or omit the required post-conversion CreateDate restoration, leaving
converted media with incorrect creation metadata.

Code

ARCHITECTURE.md[170]

+- **Metadata Preservation**: After every ffmpeg conversion, `exiftool -TagsFromFile <source.bak> <output> -all:all -overwrite_original` copies all source metadata to the output file. `ffmpeg -map_metadata` is not used, it is unreliable for Apple QuickTime-specific tags (e.g. `ContentIdentifier` in the `mdta`/`keys` atom). `TagsFromFile` handles cross-format date mapping, so no separate date-setting step is needed after conversion.

Evidence

The changed documentation denies that a separate date-setting operation exists, while the active
conversion path invokes it immediately after metadata copying.

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution
## Issue description
`ARCHITECTURE.md` incorrectly states that metadata copying removes the need for a separate date-setting operation after conversion. `ProcessTask.ConvertVideoAsync` still restores the CreateDate explicitly after `CopyMetadataAsync`.
## Issue Context
The architecture guide is the canonical implementation reference for coding agents. Its conversion description must preserve the explicit post-copy metadata step.

2. Architecture authority remains contradictory✓ Resolved🐞 Bug⚙ Maintainability

Description

The new router sends architecture, per-command details, and test layout to ARCHITECTURE.md, but
the immediately following paragraph still says all project-specific conventions and behavioral
contracts live in CODESTYLE.md and that reviewer rules must live in AGENTS.md or
GOVERNANCE.md. Because ARCHITECTURE.md itself contains project conventions and behavioral
contracts, agents receive conflicting instructions about which document is authoritative and may
ignore those constraints.

Code

AGENTS.md[5]

+This file is the entry point every coding agent reads first, and it holds only two things: the rules for managing context and delegation, which apply to every task, and a map of where every other rule lives. The rule text itself is in [`GOVERNANCE.md`](./GOVERNANCE.md), one section per topic. Code style lives in [`CODESTYLE.md`](./CODESTYLE.md), the CI/CD workflow contract in [`WORKFLOW.md`](./WORKFLOW.md), and this project's architecture, processing pipeline, per-command details, and test layout in [`ARCHITECTURE.md`](./ARCHITECTURE.md).

Evidence

The changed router names ARCHITECTURE.md, while the next paragraph assigns project conventions and
behavioral contracts to CODESTYLE.md; the new architecture document explicitly contains a “Key
Patterns & Conventions” section with prescriptive implementation rules and detailed command
behavior.

AGENTS.md[5-7]

Agent prompt

## Issue description
Update the agent routing so `ARCHITECTURE.md` is consistently identified as the authority for repository architecture, implementation patterns, and behavioral details. Remove the contradictory claim that all project-specific conventions and behavioral contracts live only in `CODESTYLE.md`.

1. Conversion date step omitted✓ Resolved🐞 Bug≡ Correctness

Description

The new conversion guidance says that TagsFromFile eliminates a separate date-setting step, but
ProcessTask explicitly calls SetCreateDateAsync after copying metadata. An agent following this
documentation could remove or omit the required post-conversion CreateDate restoration, leaving
converted media with incorrect creation metadata.

Code

ARCHITECTURE.md[170]

+- **Metadata Preservation**: After every ffmpeg conversion, `exiftool -TagsFromFile <source.bak> <output> -all:all -overwrite_original` copies all source metadata to the output file. `ffmpeg -map_metadata` is not used, it is unreliable for Apple QuickTime-specific tags (e.g. `ContentIdentifier` in the `mdta`/`keys` atom). `TagsFromFile` handles cross-format date mapping, so no separate date-setting step is needed after conversion.

Evidence

The changed documentation denies that a separate date-setting operation exists, while the active
conversion path invokes it immediately after metadata copying.

## Issue description
`ARCHITECTURE.md` incorrectly states that metadata copying removes the need for a separate date-setting operation after conversion. `ProcessTask.ConvertVideoAsync` still restores the CreateDate explicitly after `CopyMetadataAsync`.
## Issue Context
The architecture guide is the canonical implementation reference for coding agents. Its conversion description must preserve the explicit post-copy metadata step.

2. Architecture authority remains contradictory✓ Resolved🐞 Bug⚙ Maintainability

Description

The new router sends architecture, per-command details, and test layout to ARCHITECTURE.md, but
the immediately following paragraph still says all project-specific conventions and behavioral
contracts live in CODESTYLE.md and that reviewer rules must live in AGENTS.md or
GOVERNANCE.md. Because ARCHITECTURE.md itself contains project conventions and behavioral
contracts, agents receive conflicting instructions about which document is authoritative and may
ignore those constraints.

Code

AGENTS.md[5]

+This file is the entry point every coding agent reads first, and it holds only two things: the rules for managing context and delegation, which apply to every task, and a map of where every other rule lives. The rule text itself is in [`GOVERNANCE.md`](./GOVERNANCE.md), one section per topic. Code style lives in [`CODESTYLE.md`](./CODESTYLE.md), the CI/CD workflow contract in [`WORKFLOW.md`](./WORKFLOW.md), and this project's architecture, processing pipeline, per-command details, and test layout in [`ARCHITECTURE.md`](./ARCHITECTURE.md).

Evidence

The changed router names ARCHITECTURE.md, while the next paragraph assigns project conventions and
behavioral contracts to CODESTYLE.md; the new architecture document explicitly contains a “Key
Patterns & Conventions” section with prescriptive implementation rules and detailed command
behavior.

Replaces #88 (closed automatically when its base branch, chore/hub-resync-2026-08, was deleted
after #86 merged; GitHub won't let a closed PR's base be reopened once retargeted or its base be
changed while closed, so this is the same branch, rebuilt as a single commit on the current
develop tip, opened fresh). Part of the periodic hub resync alongside #86 and #87, both now
merged. Audit run 2026-08-29T01:09:26Z | hub b823bc4.

• Rewrite .github/copilot-instructions.md's four declared sections to the current hub
  canonical (the review runbook shrank substantially, its mechanics now delegated to
  scripts/pr_review.py). Preserve the (currently empty) Disproved Claims ledger.
• Move the file's nine undeclared, repo-specific sections (architecture, patterns, processing
  pipeline, per-command implementation detail, test layout) into a new ARCHITECTURE.md, the
  destination spec/section-model.md declares for this content. Drop "Command Line Usage"
  outright as a duplicate of README.md's own Usage section.
• Fix a round of real staleness bugs review caught along the way on Converge Copilot Instructions and Remaining Intent Files with Hub #88, several pre-dating this
  resync: nine in the newly-extracted ARCHITECTURE.md (dead file/test references, an
  incomplete extensions list, wrong video conversion tiers, a wrong JSON context name, a stale
  trim pattern, a broken relative link, hard-coded test counts already drifted twice), plus
  WORKFLOW.md's D1.1/D1.4/D1.5/D4.1 clauses and their scenario table rows, which described a
  paths-filter/plan-job shape this repo had already migrated away from (verified directly
  against the current test-pull-request.yml/publish-release.yml), and AGENTS.md's own
  preamble, which still routed architecture content at .github/copilot-instructions.md after
  this same change moved it.
• Re-vendor CODESTYLE.md (repoint two dead GOVERNANCE.md "Running the Linters Locally" links
  at OPERATIONS.md "Local Verification"; adopt the hub's stronger pre-commit-gate wording; keep
  the repo's own "The Full Post-Change Set" subsection) and cspell.json's fleet word list.

All threads on #88 were resolved before it closed; nothing carries over as outstanding.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Split hub sync from repository corrections

• ➕ Makes byte-locked vendor changes easier to compare with the hub.
• ➕ Narrows each review to either canonical drift or repository-specific accuracy.
• ➖ Creates an intermediate state with stale links and misplaced architecture content.
• ➖ Duplicates review and validation overhead for tightly coupled documentation changes.

Recommendation: Keep the atomic migration because extracting architecture, updating routing links, and correcting the relocated content are coupled and should land consistently. Reviewers should still validate vendored sections separately against hub commit b823bc4, then verify repository-specific workflow claims against the checked-in YAML.

When options.SkipBackup is true, this line says that conversion deletes the original and creates no .bak or .bak.out file. The undo algorithm documented at Lines 184-192 has no source from which to restore that original. Add skip-backup conversions to the known undo limitations, or document an alternative recovery path.

Replaces #88 (closed automatically when its base branch, chore/hub-resync-2026-08, was deleted
after #86 merged; GitHub won't let a closed PR's base be reopened once retargeted or its base be
changed while closed, so this is the same branch, rebuilt as a single commit on the current
develop tip, opened fresh). Part of the periodic hub resync alongside #86 and #87, both now
merged. Audit run 2026-08-29T01:09:26Z | hub b823bc4.

• Rewrite .github/copilot-instructions.md's four declared sections to the current hub
  canonical (the review runbook shrank substantially, its mechanics now delegated to
  scripts/pr_review.py). Preserve the (currently empty) Disproved Claims ledger.
• Move the file's nine undeclared, repo-specific sections (architecture, patterns, processing
  pipeline, per-command implementation detail, test layout) into a new ARCHITECTURE.md, the
  destination spec/section-model.md declares for this content. Drop "Command Line Usage"
  outright as a duplicate of README.md's own Usage section.
• Fix a round of real staleness bugs review caught along the way on Converge Copilot Instructions and Remaining Intent Files with Hub #88, several pre-dating this
  resync: nine in the newly-extracted ARCHITECTURE.md (dead file/test references, an
  incomplete extensions list, wrong video conversion tiers, a wrong JSON context name, a stale
  trim pattern, a broken relative link, hard-coded test counts already drifted twice), plus
  WORKFLOW.md's D1.1/D1.4/D1.5/D4.1 clauses and their scenario table rows, which described a
  paths-filter/plan-job shape this repo had already migrated away from (verified directly
  against the current test-pull-request.yml/publish-release.yml), and AGENTS.md's own
  preamble, which still routed architecture content at .github/copilot-instructions.md after
  this same change moved it.
• Re-vendor CODESTYLE.md (repoint two dead GOVERNANCE.md "Running the Linters Locally" links
  at OPERATIONS.md "Local Verification"; adopt the hub's stronger pre-commit-gate wording; keep
  the repo's own "The Full Post-Change Set" subsection) and cspell.json's fleet word list.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Split hub sync from repository corrections

• ➕ Makes byte-locked vendor changes easier to compare with the hub.
• ➕ Narrows each review to either canonical drift or repository-specific accuracy.
• ➖ Creates an intermediate state with stale links and misplaced architecture content.
• ➖ Duplicates review and validation overhead for tightly coupled documentation changes.

Recommendation: Keep the atomic migration because extracting architecture, updating routing links, and correcting the relocated content are coupled and should land consistently. Reviewers should still validate vendored sections separately against hub commit b823bc4, then verify repository-specific workflow claims against the checked-in YAML.

The updates are internally consistent and align the repo’s intent/governance documentation with the current workflow and hub guidance without introducing behavioral code changes.

Pull request overview

This PR converges PhotoCleaner’s carried intent/governance docs with the current hub guidance by updating Copilot instructions, CI/CD contract documentation, and related intent files, while extracting project-specific architecture/process details into a dedicated ARCHITECTURE.md.

Changes:

• Replace .github/copilot-instructions.md content with the hub’s current Copilot bootstrap + review runbook shape (preserving the Disproved Claims section/rules).
• Introduce ARCHITECTURE.md and update routing docs (AGENTS.md, GOVERNANCE.md) to point architecture/pipeline content there instead of Copilot instructions.
• Refresh workflow and style intent docs (WORKFLOW.md, CODESTYLE.md) and update fleet spellings in cspell.json.

File summaries

File	Description
WORKFLOW.md	Updates CI/CD workflow contract text to reflect the current hub model and this repo’s current workflow shape.
GOVERNANCE.md	Adjusts repository layout routing to separate Copilot bootstrap from architecture content now living in ARCHITECTURE.md.
cspell.json	Updates the shared/fleet word list entries.
CODESTYLE.md	Repoints local verification guidance references and refreshes wording around local commit/pre-commit gates.
ARCHITECTURE.md	Adds a consolidated architecture/process/test layout document extracted from Copilot instructions.
AGENTS.md	Updates the routing pointer for architecture/pipeline/test-layout content to ARCHITECTURE.md.
.github/copilot-instructions.md	Converges to the hub’s current Copilot-specific bootstrap + review runbook sections (with Disproved Claims section preserved).

🐞 Bugs (0)📘 Rule violations (0)📜 Skill insights (0)

1. Conversion date step omitted✓ Resolved🐞 Bug≡ Correctness

Description

The new conversion guidance says that TagsFromFile eliminates a separate date-setting step, but
ProcessTask explicitly calls SetCreateDateAsync after copying metadata. An agent following this
documentation could remove or omit the required post-conversion CreateDate restoration, leaving
converted media with incorrect creation metadata.

Code

ARCHITECTURE.md[170]

+- **Metadata Preservation**: After every ffmpeg conversion, `exiftool -TagsFromFile <source.bak> <output> -all:all -overwrite_original` copies all source metadata to the output file. `ffmpeg -map_metadata` is not used, it is unreliable for Apple QuickTime-specific tags (e.g. `ContentIdentifier` in the `mdta`/`keys` atom). `TagsFromFile` handles cross-format date mapping, so no separate date-setting step is needed after conversion.

Evidence

The changed documentation denies that a separate date-setting operation exists, while the active
conversion path invokes it immediately after metadata copying.

ARCHITECTURE.md[170-170]
PhotoCleaner/ProcessTask.cs[600-618]

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution
## Issue description
`ARCHITECTURE.md` incorrectly states that metadata copying removes the need for a separate date-setting operation after conversion. `ProcessTask.ConvertVideoAsync` still restores the CreateDate explicitly after `CopyMetadataAsync`.
## Issue Context
The architecture guide is the canonical implementation reference for coding agents. Its conversion description must preserve the explicit post-copy metadata step.

2. Architecture authority remains contradictory✓ Resolved🐞 Bug⚙ Maintainability

Description

The new router sends architecture, per-command details, and test layout to ARCHITECTURE.md, but
the immediately following paragraph still says all project-specific conventions and behavioral
contracts live in CODESTYLE.md and that reviewer rules must live in AGENTS.md or
GOVERNANCE.md. Because ARCHITECTURE.md itself contains project conventions and behavioral
contracts, agents receive conflicting instructions about which document is authoritative and may
ignore those constraints.

Code

AGENTS.md[5]

+This file is the entry point every coding agent reads first, and it holds only two things: the rules for managing context and delegation, which apply to every task, and a map of where every other rule lives. The rule text itself is in [`GOVERNANCE.md`](./GOVERNANCE.md), one section per topic. Code style lives in [`CODESTYLE.md`](./CODESTYLE.md), the CI/CD workflow contract in [`WORKFLOW.md`](./WORKFLOW.md), and this project's architecture, processing pipeline, per-command details, and test layout in [`ARCHITECTURE.md`](./ARCHITECTURE.md).

Evidence

The changed router names ARCHITECTURE.md, while the next paragraph assigns project conventions and
behavioral contracts to CODESTYLE.md; the new architecture document explicitly contains a “Key
Patterns & Conventions” section with prescriptive implementation rules and detailed command
behavior.

AGENTS.md[5-7]

Pull request overview

This PR converges PhotoCleaner’s carried intent/governance docs with the current hub guidance by updating Copilot instructions, CI/CD contract documentation, and related intent files, while extracting project-specific architecture/process details into a dedicated ARCHITECTURE.md.

Changes:

• Replace .github/copilot-instructions.md content with the hub’s current Copilot bootstrap + review runbook shape (preserving the Disproved Claims section/rules).
• Introduce ARCHITECTURE.md and update routing docs (AGENTS.md, GOVERNANCE.md) to point architecture/pipeline content there instead of Copilot instructions.
• Refresh workflow and style intent docs (WORKFLOW.md, CODESTYLE.md) and update fleet spellings in cspell.json.

1. Conversion date step omitted✓ Resolved🐞 Bug≡ Correctness

Description

The new conversion guidance says that TagsFromFile eliminates a separate date-setting step, but
ProcessTask explicitly calls SetCreateDateAsync after copying metadata. An agent following this
documentation could remove or omit the required post-conversion CreateDate restoration, leaving
converted media with incorrect creation metadata.

Code

ARCHITECTURE.md[170]

+- **Metadata Preservation**: After every ffmpeg conversion, `exiftool -TagsFromFile <source.bak> <output> -all:all -overwrite_original` copies all source metadata to the output file. `ffmpeg -map_metadata` is not used, it is unreliable for Apple QuickTime-specific tags (e.g. `ContentIdentifier` in the `mdta`/`keys` atom). `TagsFromFile` handles cross-format date mapping, so no separate date-setting step is needed after conversion.

Evidence

The changed documentation denies that a separate date-setting operation exists, while the active
conversion path invokes it immediately after metadata copying.

## Issue description
`ARCHITECTURE.md` incorrectly states that metadata copying removes the need for a separate date-setting operation after conversion. `ProcessTask.ConvertVideoAsync` still restores the CreateDate explicitly after `CopyMetadataAsync`.
## Issue Context
The architecture guide is the canonical implementation reference for coding agents. Its conversion description must preserve the explicit post-copy metadata step.

2. Architecture authority remains contradictory✓ Resolved🐞 Bug⚙ Maintainability

Description

The new router sends architecture, per-command details, and test layout to ARCHITECTURE.md, but
the immediately following paragraph still says all project-specific conventions and behavioral
contracts live in CODESTYLE.md and that reviewer rules must live in AGENTS.md or
GOVERNANCE.md. Because ARCHITECTURE.md itself contains project conventions and behavioral
contracts, agents receive conflicting instructions about which document is authoritative and may
ignore those constraints.

Code

AGENTS.md[5]

+This file is the entry point every coding agent reads first, and it holds only two things: the rules for managing context and delegation, which apply to every task, and a map of where every other rule lives. The rule text itself is in [`GOVERNANCE.md`](./GOVERNANCE.md), one section per topic. Code style lives in [`CODESTYLE.md`](./CODESTYLE.md), the CI/CD workflow contract in [`WORKFLOW.md`](./WORKFLOW.md), and this project's architecture, processing pipeline, per-command details, and test layout in [`ARCHITECTURE.md`](./ARCHITECTURE.md).

Evidence

The changed router names ARCHITECTURE.md, while the next paragraph assigns project conventions and
behavioral contracts to CODESTYLE.md; the new architecture document explicitly contains a “Key
Patterns & Conventions” section with prescriptive implementation rules and detailed command
behavior.

Replaces #88 (closed automatically when its base branch, chore/hub-resync-2026-08, was deleted
after #86 merged; GitHub won't let a closed PR's base be reopened once retargeted or its base be
changed while closed, so this is the same branch, rebuilt as a single commit on the current
develop tip, opened fresh). Part of the periodic hub resync alongside #86 and #87, both now
merged. Audit run 2026-08-29T01:09:26Z | hub b823bc4.

• Rewrite .github/copilot-instructions.md's four declared sections to the current hub
  canonical (the review runbook shrank substantially, its mechanics now delegated to
  scripts/pr_review.py). Preserve the (currently empty) Disproved Claims ledger.
• Move the file's nine undeclared, repo-specific sections (architecture, patterns, processing
  pipeline, per-command implementation detail, test layout) into a new ARCHITECTURE.md, the
  destination spec/section-model.md declares for this content. Drop "Command Line Usage"
  outright as a duplicate of README.md's own Usage section.
• Fix a round of real staleness bugs review caught along the way on Converge Copilot Instructions and Remaining Intent Files with Hub #88, several pre-dating this
  resync: nine in the newly-extracted ARCHITECTURE.md (dead file/test references, an
  incomplete extensions list, wrong video conversion tiers, a wrong JSON context name, a stale
  trim pattern, a broken relative link, hard-coded test counts already drifted twice), plus
  WORKFLOW.md's D1.1/D1.4/D1.5/D4.1 clauses and their scenario table rows, which described a
  paths-filter/plan-job shape this repo had already migrated away from (verified directly
  against the current test-pull-request.yml/publish-release.yml), and AGENTS.md's own
  preamble, which still routed architecture content at .github/copilot-instructions.md after
  this same change moved it.
• Re-vendor CODESTYLE.md (repoint two dead GOVERNANCE.md "Running the Linters Locally" links
  at OPERATIONS.md "Local Verification"; adopt the hub's stronger pre-commit-gate wording; keep
  the repo's own "The Full Post-Change Set" subsection) and cspell.json's fleet word list.

All threads on #88 were resolved before it closed; nothing carries over as outstanding.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Split hub sync from repository corrections

• ➕ Makes byte-locked vendor changes easier to compare with the hub.
• ➕ Narrows each review to either canonical drift or repository-specific accuracy.
• ➖ Creates an intermediate state with stale links and misplaced architecture content.
• ➖ Duplicates review and validation overhead for tightly coupled documentation changes.

Recommendation: Keep the atomic migration because extracting architecture, updating routing links, and correcting the relocated content are coupled and should land consistently. Reviewers should still validate vendored sections separately against hub commit b823bc4, then verify repository-specific workflow claims against the checked-in YAML.

When options.SkipBackup is true, this line says that conversion deletes the original and creates no .bak or .bak.out file. The undo algorithm documented at Lines 184-192 has no source from which to restore that original. Add skip-backup conversions to the known undo limitations, or document an alternative recovery path.

Replaces #88 (closed automatically when its base branch, chore/hub-resync-2026-08, was deleted
after #86 merged; GitHub won't let a closed PR's base be reopened once retargeted or its base be
changed while closed, so this is the same branch, rebuilt as a single commit on the current
develop tip, opened fresh). Part of the periodic hub resync alongside #86 and #87, both now
merged. Audit run 2026-08-29T01:09:26Z | hub b823bc4.

• Rewrite .github/copilot-instructions.md's four declared sections to the current hub
  canonical (the review runbook shrank substantially, its mechanics now delegated to
  scripts/pr_review.py). Preserve the (currently empty) Disproved Claims ledger.
• Move the file's nine undeclared, repo-specific sections (architecture, patterns, processing
  pipeline, per-command implementation detail, test layout) into a new ARCHITECTURE.md, the
  destination spec/section-model.md declares for this content. Drop "Command Line Usage"
  outright as a duplicate of README.md's own Usage section.
• Fix a round of real staleness bugs review caught along the way on Converge Copilot Instructions and Remaining Intent Files with Hub #88, several pre-dating this
  resync: nine in the newly-extracted ARCHITECTURE.md (dead file/test references, an
  incomplete extensions list, wrong video conversion tiers, a wrong JSON context name, a stale
  trim pattern, a broken relative link, hard-coded test counts already drifted twice), plus
  WORKFLOW.md's D1.1/D1.4/D1.5/D4.1 clauses and their scenario table rows, which described a
  paths-filter/plan-job shape this repo had already migrated away from (verified directly
  against the current test-pull-request.yml/publish-release.yml), and AGENTS.md's own
  preamble, which still routed architecture content at .github/copilot-instructions.md after
  this same change moved it.
• Re-vendor CODESTYLE.md (repoint two dead GOVERNANCE.md "Running the Linters Locally" links
  at OPERATIONS.md "Local Verification"; adopt the hub's stronger pre-commit-gate wording; keep
  the repo's own "The Full Post-Change Set" subsection) and cspell.json's fleet word list.

All threads on #88 were resolved before it closed; nothing carries over as outstanding.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Split hub sync from repository corrections

• ➕ Makes byte-locked vendor changes easier to compare with the hub.
• ➕ Narrows each review to either canonical drift or repository-specific accuracy.
• ➖ Creates an intermediate state with stale links and misplaced architecture content.
• ➖ Duplicates review and validation overhead for tightly coupled documentation changes.

Recommendation: Keep the atomic migration because extracting architecture, updating routing links, and correcting the relocated content are coupled and should land consistently. Reviewers should still validate vendored sections separately against hub commit b823bc4, then verify repository-specific workflow claims against the checked-in YAML.

🟢 Approval recommended

The updates are internally consistent and align the repo’s intent/governance documentation with the current workflow and hub guidance without introducing behavioral code changes.

Pull request overview

This PR converges PhotoCleaner’s carried intent/governance docs with the current hub guidance by updating Copilot instructions, CI/CD contract documentation, and related intent files, while extracting project-specific architecture/process details into a dedicated ARCHITECTURE.md.

Changes:

• Replace .github/copilot-instructions.md content with the hub’s current Copilot bootstrap + review runbook shape (preserving the Disproved Claims section/rules).
• Introduce ARCHITECTURE.md and update routing docs (AGENTS.md, GOVERNANCE.md) to point architecture/pipeline content there instead of Copilot instructions.
• Refresh workflow and style intent docs (WORKFLOW.md, CODESTYLE.md) and update fleet spellings in cspell.json.

File summaries

File	Description
WORKFLOW.md	Updates CI/CD workflow contract text to reflect the current hub model and this repo’s current workflow shape.
GOVERNANCE.md	Adjusts repository layout routing to separate Copilot bootstrap from architecture content now living in ARCHITECTURE.md.
cspell.json	Updates the shared/fleet word list entries.
CODESTYLE.md	Repoints local verification guidance references and refreshes wording around local commit/pre-commit gates.
ARCHITECTURE.md	Adds a consolidated architecture/process/test layout document extracted from Copilot instructions.
AGENTS.md	Updates the routing pointer for architecture/pipeline/test-layout content to ARCHITECTURE.md.
.github/copilot-instructions.md	Converges to the hub’s current Copilot-specific bootstrap + review runbook sections (with Disproved Claims section preserved).

🐞 Bugs (0)📘 Rule violations (0)📜 Skill insights (0)

1. Conversion date step omitted✓ Resolved🐞 Bug≡ Correctness

Description

The new conversion guidance says that TagsFromFile eliminates a separate date-setting step, but
ProcessTask explicitly calls SetCreateDateAsync after copying metadata. An agent following this
documentation could remove or omit the required post-conversion CreateDate restoration, leaving
converted media with incorrect creation metadata.

Code

ARCHITECTURE.md[170]

+- **Metadata Preservation**: After every ffmpeg conversion, `exiftool -TagsFromFile <source.bak> <output> -all:all -overwrite_original` copies all source metadata to the output file. `ffmpeg -map_metadata` is not used, it is unreliable for Apple QuickTime-specific tags (e.g. `ContentIdentifier` in the `mdta`/`keys` atom). `TagsFromFile` handles cross-format date mapping, so no separate date-setting step is needed after conversion.

Evidence

The changed documentation denies that a separate date-setting operation exists, while the active
conversion path invokes it immediately after metadata copying.

ARCHITECTURE.md[170-170]
PhotoCleaner/ProcessTask.cs[600-618]

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution
## Issue description
`ARCHITECTURE.md` incorrectly states that metadata copying removes the need for a separate date-setting operation after conversion. `ProcessTask.ConvertVideoAsync` still restores the CreateDate explicitly after `CopyMetadataAsync`.
## Issue Context
The architecture guide is the canonical implementation reference for coding agents. Its conversion description must preserve the explicit post-copy metadata step.

2. Architecture authority remains contradictory✓ Resolved🐞 Bug⚙ Maintainability

Description

The new router sends architecture, per-command details, and test layout to ARCHITECTURE.md, but
the immediately following paragraph still says all project-specific conventions and behavioral
contracts live in CODESTYLE.md and that reviewer rules must live in AGENTS.md or
GOVERNANCE.md. Because ARCHITECTURE.md itself contains project conventions and behavioral
contracts, agents receive conflicting instructions about which document is authoritative and may
ignore those constraints.

Code

AGENTS.md[5]

+This file is the entry point every coding agent reads first, and it holds only two things: the rules for managing context and delegation, which apply to every task, and a map of where every other rule lives. The rule text itself is in [`GOVERNANCE.md`](./GOVERNANCE.md), one section per topic. Code style lives in [`CODESTYLE.md`](./CODESTYLE.md), the CI/CD workflow contract in [`WORKFLOW.md`](./WORKFLOW.md), and this project's architecture, processing pipeline, per-command details, and test layout in [`ARCHITECTURE.md`](./ARCHITECTURE.md).

Evidence

The changed router names ARCHITECTURE.md, while the next paragraph assigns project conventions and
behavioral contracts to CODESTYLE.md; the new architecture document explicitly contains a “Key
Patterns & Conventions” section with prescriptive implementation rules and detailed command
behavior.

AGENTS.md[5-7]

Agent prompt

## Issue description
Update the agent routing so `ARCHITECTURE.md` is consistently identified as the authority for repository architecture, implementation patterns, and behavioral details. Remove the contradictory claim that all project-specific conventions and behavioral contracts live only in `CODESTYLE.md`.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Split hub sync from repository corrections

• ➕ Makes byte-locked vendor changes easier to compare with the hub.
• ➕ Narrows each review to either canonical drift or repository-specific accuracy.
• ➖ Creates an intermediate state with stale links and misplaced architecture content.
• ➖ Duplicates review and validation overhead for tightly coupled documentation changes.

Recommendation: Keep the atomic migration because extracting architecture, updating routing links, and correcting the relocated content are coupled and should land consistently. Reviewers should still validate vendored sections separately against hub commit b823bc4, then verify repository-specific workflow claims against the checked-in YAML.

🟢 Approval recommended

The updates are internally consistent and align the repo’s intent/governance documentation with the current workflow and hub guidance without introducing behavioral code changes.

Pull request overview

This PR converges PhotoCleaner’s carried intent/governance docs with the current hub guidance by updating Copilot instructions, CI/CD contract documentation, and related intent files, while extracting project-specific architecture/process details into a dedicated ARCHITECTURE.md.

Changes:

• Replace .github/copilot-instructions.md content with the hub’s current Copilot bootstrap + review runbook shape (preserving the Disproved Claims section/rules).
• Introduce ARCHITECTURE.md and update routing docs (AGENTS.md, GOVERNANCE.md) to point architecture/pipeline content there instead of Copilot instructions.
• Refresh workflow and style intent docs (WORKFLOW.md, CODESTYLE.md) and update fleet spellings in cspell.json.

File summaries

File	Description
WORKFLOW.md	Updates CI/CD workflow contract text to reflect the current hub model and this repo’s current workflow shape.
GOVERNANCE.md	Adjusts repository layout routing to separate Copilot bootstrap from architecture content now living in ARCHITECTURE.md.
cspell.json	Updates the shared/fleet word list entries.
CODESTYLE.md	Repoints local verification guidance references and refreshes wording around local commit/pre-commit gates.
ARCHITECTURE.md	Adds a consolidated architecture/process/test layout document extracted from Copilot instructions.
AGENTS.md	Updates the routing pointer for architecture/pipeline/test-layout content to ARCHITECTURE.md.
.github/copilot-instructions.md	Converges to the hub’s current Copilot-specific bootstrap + review runbook sections (with Disproved Claims section preserved).

🐞 Bugs (0)📘 Rule violations (0)📜 Skill insights (0)

1. Conversion date step omitted✓ Resolved🐞 Bug≡ Correctness

Description

The new conversion guidance says that TagsFromFile eliminates a separate date-setting step, but
ProcessTask explicitly calls SetCreateDateAsync after copying metadata. An agent following this
documentation could remove or omit the required post-conversion CreateDate restoration, leaving
converted media with incorrect creation metadata.

Code

ARCHITECTURE.md[170]

+- **Metadata Preservation**: After every ffmpeg conversion, `exiftool -TagsFromFile <source.bak> <output> -all:all -overwrite_original` copies all source metadata to the output file. `ffmpeg -map_metadata` is not used, it is unreliable for Apple QuickTime-specific tags (e.g. `ContentIdentifier` in the `mdta`/`keys` atom). `TagsFromFile` handles cross-format date mapping, so no separate date-setting step is needed after conversion.

Evidence

The changed documentation denies that a separate date-setting operation exists, while the active
conversion path invokes it immediately after metadata copying.

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution
## Issue description
`ARCHITECTURE.md` incorrectly states that metadata copying removes the need for a separate date-setting operation after conversion. `ProcessTask.ConvertVideoAsync` still restores the CreateDate explicitly after `CopyMetadataAsync`.
## Issue Context
The architecture guide is the canonical implementation reference for coding agents. Its conversion description must preserve the explicit post-copy metadata step.

2. Architecture authority remains contradictory✓ Resolved🐞 Bug⚙ Maintainability

Description

The new router sends architecture, per-command details, and test layout to ARCHITECTURE.md, but
the immediately following paragraph still says all project-specific conventions and behavioral
contracts live in CODESTYLE.md and that reviewer rules must live in AGENTS.md or
GOVERNANCE.md. Because ARCHITECTURE.md itself contains project conventions and behavioral
contracts, agents receive conflicting instructions about which document is authoritative and may
ignore those constraints.

Code

AGENTS.md[5]

+This file is the entry point every coding agent reads first, and it holds only two things: the rules for managing context and delegation, which apply to every task, and a map of where every other rule lives. The rule text itself is in [`GOVERNANCE.md`](./GOVERNANCE.md), one section per topic. Code style lives in [`CODESTYLE.md`](./CODESTYLE.md), the CI/CD workflow contract in [`WORKFLOW.md`](./WORKFLOW.md), and this project's architecture, processing pipeline, per-command details, and test layout in [`ARCHITECTURE.md`](./ARCHITECTURE.md).

Evidence

The changed router names ARCHITECTURE.md, while the next paragraph assigns project conventions and
behavioral contracts to CODESTYLE.md; the new architecture document explicitly contains a “Key
Patterns & Conventions” section with prescriptive implementation rules and detailed command
behavior.

## Issue description
Update the agent routing so `ARCHITECTURE.md` is consistently identified as the authority for repository architecture, implementation patterns, and behavioral details. Remove the contradictory claim that all project-specific conventions and behavioral contracts live only in `CODESTYLE.md`.

- Line 170: Update the metadata-preservation contract near the FFmpeg conversion
documentation to define the metadata source when --skipbackup is enabled:
specify the original source path or clarify that metadata is copied before the
original is removed. Keep the existing .bak-based behavior for normal
conversions and ensure both backup modes describe a valid source for exiftool.

Document skip-backup conversions as non-undoable

When options.SkipBackup is true, this line says that conversion deletes the original and creates no .bak or .bak.out file. The undo algorithm documented at Lines 184-192 has no source from which to restore that original. Add skip-backup conversions to the known undo limitations, or document an alternative recovery path.
