Before the reorganization, roadmap-style canonical planning existed under `docs_build/dev/roadmaps/`, now archived under `dev/archive/legacy-docs-build/roadmaps/`. + +2.

Is it still present? + - Yes. The files are present in `dev/archive/legacy-docs-build/roadmaps/`. + +4. Was it renamed? + - Not as a direct file rename. The active source-of-truth role was replaced by `dev/build/ProjectInstructions/backlog/BACKLOG_MASTER.md`, while legacy roadmaps were archived. + +5. Was it split into multiple files? + - Yes. Current backlog governance is split across active backlog, team ownership, team assignment, status model, and Build Path sync documents. + +6. Was it accidentally abandoned during repository reorganization? + - Partially. The active backlog was preserved as `BACKLOG_MASTER.md`, but some detailed roadmap content is only archived and not fully represented in the active backlog. + +7. What currently serves as the backlog? + - `dev/build/ProjectInstructions/backlog/BACKLOG_MASTER.md` + +8. What information appears to have been lost, if any? + - No tracked files appear lost. Potentially stranded details include the old tool rebuild sequence, detailed MIDI Studio V2 remaining work, platform roadmap phases, and old engine/toolchain roadmap status details. + +## Candidate

No information appears physically lost from the repository, but some roadmap detail is no longer active backlog material unless Owner intentionally recovers it. ++ ++Recommended strategy: keep `BACKLOG_MASTER.md` as the single active backlog and run a follow-up governance PR to merge still-relevant planning details from archived roadmaps, database planning files, and tool UAT documents into `BACKLOG_MASTER.md` or linked subordinate backlog sections. Do not create a competing `PROJECT_BACKLOG.md`. ++ ++## Determinations ++ ++1. Did a canonical backlog previously exist? ++ - Yes. Before the reorganization, roadmap-style canonical planning existed under `docs_build/dev/roadmaps/`, now archived under `dev/archive/legacy-docs-build/roadmaps/`. ++ ++2. What file(s) contained it? ++ - `MASTER_ROADMAP_ENGINE.md` ++ - `MASTER_ROADMAP_FEATURES.md` ++ - `MASTER_ROADMAP_TOOLS.md` ++ - `MIDI_STUDIO_V2_ROADMAP.md` ++ - `POST_MIGRATION_PLATFORM_ROADMAP.md` ++ - `MASTER_ROADMAP_SAMPLES2TOOLS.md` ++ - `MASTER_ROADMAP_STYLE.md` ++ - `MASTER_ROADMAP_RECOVERY.md` ++ - Level 8 roadmap append/update files ++ - `phases.txt` ++ ++3. Is it still present? ++ - Yes. The files are present in `dev/archive/legacy-docs-build/roadmaps/`. ++ ++4. Was it renamed? ++ - Not as a direct file rename. The active source-of-truth role was replaced by `dev/build/ProjectInstructions/backlog/BACKLOG_MASTER.md`, while legacy roadmaps were archived. ++ ++5. Was it split into multiple files? ++ - Yes. Current backlog governance is split across active backlog, team ownership, team assignment, status model, and Build Path sync documents. ++ ++6. Was it accidentally abandoned during repository reorganization? ++ - Partially. The active backlog was preserved as `BACKLOG_MASTER.md`, but some detailed roadmap content is only archived and not fully represented in the active backlog. ++ ++7. What currently serves as the backlog? ++ - `dev/build/ProjectInstructions/backlog/BACKLOG_MASTER.md` ++ ++8. What information appears to have been lost, if any? ++ - No tracked files appear lost. Potentially stranded details include the old tool rebuild sequence, detailed MIDI Studio V2 remaining work, platform roadmap phases, and old engine/toolchain roadmap status details. ++ ++## Candidate

++Do not create a new `PROJECT_BACKLOG.md` because `BACKLOG_MASTER.md` is already named by active Project Instructions as the source of truth. A new competing backlog file would create another governance surface. ++ ++Recommended follow-up PR: ++ ++`PR_26180_OWNER_003-backlog-recovery-and-roadmap-merge` ++ ++Suggested scope: ++ ++1. Keep `BACKLOG_MASTER.md` as the active backlog SSoT. ++2. Audit archived roadmaps for still-relevant unchecked or in-progress items. ++3. Merge selected details from: ++ - `MASTER_ROADMAP_TOOLS.md` ++ - `MIDI_STUDIO_V2_ROADMAP.md` ++ - `POST_MIGRATION_PLATFORM_ROADMAP.md` ++ - relevant `MASTER_ROADMAP_ENGINE.md` open items ++4. Add links from active backlog items to per-tool UAT docs where useful. ++5. Mark stale active operations docs that still mention `docs_build/dev/roadmaps/` as superseded or archive-only. ++6. Preserve archived roadmaps as historical reference, not active backlog authority. ++ ++## Scope Confirmation ++ ++- Runtime files modified: No ++- UI files modified: No ++- API files modified: No ++- Database files modified: No ++- Implementation code modified: No ++- Governance report files only: Yes ++ +diff --git a/dev/reports/PR_26180_OWNER_002-product-backlog-discovery_requirement-checklist.md b/dev/reports/PR_26180_OWNER_002-product-backlog-discovery_requirement-checklist.md +new file mode 100644 +index 000000000..81d0ccabd +--- /dev/null ++++ b/dev/reports/PR_26180_OWNER_002-product-backlog-discovery_requirement-checklist.md +@@ -0,0 +1,27 @@ ++# PR_26180_OWNER_002 Requirement Checklist ++ ++Generated: 2026-06-28 ++ ++| Requirement | Status | Notes | ++| --- | --- | --- | ++| Read latest Project Instructions from repository | PASS | Version 2026.06.28.002 | ++| Report Project Instructions version | PASS | Included in report and final response | ++| Confirm repository source PASS | PASS | Repository Project Instructions used | ++| Confirm cached memory DISCARDED | PASS | Current repository state used | ++| Read PROJECT_BRANCHING_POLICY.md | PASS | Loaded before branch creation | ++| Read batch_governance_mode.md | PASS | Loaded before planning | ++| Discover authoritative product backlog before governance reorganization | PASS | Archived roadmaps and current backlog reviewed | ++| Search repository for backlog/planning/roadmap terms | PASS | `rg` searches run across repo governance, docs, reports, archive, and product docs | ++| Search product-area documents | PASS | Product area terms cross-checked against current and historical docs | ++| Determine whether canonical backlog existed | PASS | Old roadmaps and active `BACKLOG_MASTER.md` identified | ++| Determine current backlog source | PASS | `BACKLOG_MASTER.md` identified as active SSoT | ++| Identify lost information, if any | PASS | No tracked files lost; details may be stranded in archive | ++| Produce executive summary | PASS | Included in PR report | ++| Produce candidate backlog document review | PASS | Included in PR report | ++| Produce product areas found | PASS | Included in PR report | ++| Produce recommendation | PASS | Included in PR report | ++| No runtime files modified | PASS | Report files only | ++| No implementation changes | PASS | Report files only | ++| git diff --check | PASS | No whitespace errors | ++| npm run validate:canonical-structure | PASS | 0 blocking violations | ++| Repo-structured ZIP under dev/workspace/zips | PASS | `dev/workspace/zips/PR_26180_OWNER_002-product-backlog-discovery_delta.zip` | +diff --git a/dev/reports/PR_26180_OWNER_002-product-backlog-discovery_validation-report.md b/dev/reports/PR_26180_OWNER_002-product-backlog-discovery_validation-report.md +new file mode 100644 +index 000000000..03a71529e +--- /dev/null ++++ b/dev/reports/PR_26180_OWNER_002-product-backlog-discovery_validation-report.md +@@ -0,0 +1,27 @@ ++# PR_26180_OWNER_002 Validation Report ++ ++Generated: 2026-06-28 ++ ++## Validation Commands ++ ++| Command | Result | Notes | ++| --- | --- | --- | ++| git fetch origin --prune | PASS | Remote state refreshed | ++| git pull --ff-only origin main | PASS | Local main fast-forwarded before branch creation | ++| git switch -c PR_26180_OWNER_002-product-backlog-discovery | PASS | Branch created from synchronized main | ++| rg backlog/planning/roadmap terms | PASS | Candidate active and historical backlog surfaces found | ++| rg product-area terms | PASS | Product-area evidence gathered | ++| git diff --check | PASS | No whitespace errors | ++| npm run validate:canonical-structure | PASS | 0 blocking violations | ++ ++## Implementation Impact ++ ++- Runtime files changed: No ++- UI files changed: No ++- API files changed: No ++- Database files changed: No ++- Tool implementation files changed: No ++ ++## Notes ++ ++This PR is a governance review only.
