+# Context
+
+## Goal
+Align development docs with current code behavior and remove stale/dead references.
+
+## Baseline Reads Completed
+- AGENTS.md
+- CLAUDE.md
+- KNOWN_ISSUES.md
+- torch/scheduler-flow.md (shared contract + canonical artifact paths)
+- torch/TORCH.md
+- docs/agent-handoffs baseline: read from `node_modules/torch-lock/docs/agent-handoffs/README.md` before creating canonical repo path.
+- scheduler memory context: `.scheduler-memory/latest/daily/memories.md`
+
+## Claims Map (key items)
+1. Claim: Python prerequisite is 3.8+ (`README.md`).
+- Code pointer: `pyproject.toml` (`python = ">=3.10,<3.13"`).
+- Status: diverged.
+
+2. Claim: docs links under `docs/docs/content/...` exist (`README.md`, `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`).
+- Code/doc pointers: file-system check found missing targets.
+- Status: diverged.
+
+3. Claim: default PBKDF2 iterations are 50,000 (`README.md`).
+- Code pointer: `src/seedpass/core/config_manager.py` (`DEFAULT_PBKDF2_ITERATIONS = 200_000`).
+- Status: diverged.
+
+4. Claim: CLI/TUI adapter path is `src/seedpass/cli.py` (`docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`).
+- Code pointer: `src/seedpass/cli/__init__.py`.
+- Status: diverged.
+
+5. Claim: main menu range example ends at 7 (`README.md`).
+- Code pointer: `src/main.py` menu includes option 8 (`List Archived`).
+- Status: diverged.

+# Decisions
+
+## Decision 1
+Use code reality as source of truth for prerequisites and defaults.
+
+### Rationale
+`pyproject.toml` and `ConfigManager` provide authoritative runtime constraints/defaults.
+
+## Decision 2
+Fix dead links by pointing to existing docs/code rather than creating speculative pages.
+
+### Rationale
+Maintains minimal, reviewable diffs and avoids inventing unverified documentation surfaces.
+
+## Decision 3
+Create canonical `docs/agent-handoffs/` in-repo.
+
+### Rationale
+Scheduler/TORCH prompts require this path; repo previously only had a copy under `node_modules/torch-lock/`.

+# Validation Log
+
+1. Internal markdown link existence check
+- Command:
+  - `python3` script scanning `README.md` + `docs/**/*.md` for local link targets
+- Result: PASS
+- Evidence: `BROKEN_LINK_COUNT=0`
+
+2. Stale-link pattern scan
+- Command:
+  - `rg -n "docs/docs/content|src/seedpass/cli.py" README.md docs/ARCHITECTURE.md -S`
+- Result: PASS (no matches after fixes)
+
+3. Representative CLI docs command validation
+- Command:
+  - `poetry run seedpass --help`
+- Result: WARN (environment setup issue)
+- Output summary: `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'seedpass'`
+- Interpretation: local Poetry env in this workspace is not installed/resolved for package execution; this does not invalidate static doc/code alignment updates.

+# TODO
+
+## Completed
+- [x] Baseline reads and scheduler memory retrieval before implementation.
+- [x] Audited README.md and docs/ARCHITECTURE.md against code.
+- [x] Fixed stale Python prerequisite claim.
+- [x] Replaced dead internal docs links with valid targets.
+- [x] Corrected default KDF iteration value (50,000 -> 200,000).
+- [x] Corrected main-menu choice range example.
+- [x] Added canonical `docs/agent-handoffs/README.md` and folder structure.
+- [x] Validated markdown internal links and representative CLI invocation paths.
+
+## Remaining
+- [ ] Optional future pass: expand dedicated API reference docs under `docs/`.
