Summary
PR #2 of the 11-PR completion sequence. Pure documentation consolidation — no code changes.
Before: 335 tracked
.mdfiles; 14 README-like docs at the top level;docs/contained ~234 files, most of them auto/LLM-generated status reports (ALL_*_COMPLETE_*,*_FIX.md,DEPLOYMENT_*_FINAL.md, etc.).After: 132 tracked
.mdfiles. Exactly five top-level docs:README.md,QUICKSTART.md,RUNBOOK.md,CONTRIBUTING.md,CHANGELOG.md(moved up fromdocs/). 205 files changed, +8 / -37 633 lines.What was kept in
docs/API_DOCUMENTATION.md,EXPLORER_API_ACCESS.md,EXPLORER_API_REFERENCE.md,docs/api/,docs/openapi/.BRIDGE_CONTRACT_ARCHITECTURE.md,COMPLIANCE_ARCHITECTURE_EXPLANATION.md,TIERED_ARCHITECTURE_*,REUSABLE_COMPONENTS_EXTRACTION_PLAN.md.DEPLOYMENT.md,DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md,DEPLOYMENT_METHOD_REMIX_IDE.md,DEPLOYMENT_METHOD_VALIDATOR.md.DATABASE_CONNECTION_GUIDE.md,INTEGRATION_GUIDES.md,METAMASK_AND_PROVIDER_INTEGRATION.md,PRODUCTION_CHECKLIST.md,PR_WORKFLOW_RECOMMENDATION.md,PULL_REQUEST_GUIDE.md,TOKEN_MECHANISM_DOCUMENTATION.md,WRAP_AND_BRIDGE_TO_ETHEREUM.md.LEGAL_COMPLIANCE_*.docs/specs/**(architecture specs).What was deleted
Pattern-matched, not file-by-file, using

Dead links (
START_HERE,README_DEPLOYMENT,COMPLETE_DEPLOYMENT,DEPLOYMENT_COMPLETE_FINAL) inREADME.mdwere replaced with links to the five canonical top-level docs + thedocs/index. A full README rewrite is scheduled for PR #11.Why
The previous doc tree made it impossible to tell which file was current. A single
BLOCKSCOUT_*troubleshooting thread had 12 overlapping markdowns (BLOCKSCOUT_FIX_CORRECTED,BLOCKSCOUT_FIX_FINAL,BLOCKSCOUT_FIX_WORKING, etc.). Deleting obsolete reports and keeping reference material makes the repo navigable and surfaces the real open questions.Verification
git diff --statshows only.mddeletions plus theREADME.mdlink edit and thedocs/CHANGELOG.md → CHANGELOG.mdrename.rg 'START_HERE|README_DEPLOYMENT|COMPLETE_DEPLOYMENT|NPMPLUS_CREDENTIALS'returns no hits in the remaining.mdset.find . -name 'ALL_*.md'returns nothing.Completion criterion advanced
Still outstanding: running
gitleaksover history (PR #5 wiring), rewriting the top-levelREADME.md/ newARCHITECTURE.md/API.md(PR #11).
