Remove emojis from all markdown docs, add consolidation plan

- Strip emojis from 47 markdown files across docs/, sql/, and root
- Add docs/DOCS_CONSOLIDATION_PLAN.md with plan to reduce 45 docs to 8
- Establish no-emoji rule for documentation going forward

## KEY DESIGN DECISIONS
### Generic `address` Field
### Generic `address` Field
**Decision:** Use single `address` field in communications instead of separate ipaddress/portname/etc fields.
**Benefit:** Flexible, extensible, no unused columns per row.
### Simplified Warranties
### Simplified Warranties
**Decision:** Just warrantyname and enddate. No complex vendor/type/cost tracking.
**Benefit:** Easy to use, easy to maintain, covers 90% of use cases.
### Liaison in BusinessUnits
### Liaison in BusinessUnits
**Decision:** Add liaison fields directly to businessunits instead of separate table.
**Benefit:** Simpler structure, one less JOIN, appropriate granularity.
### Unified Machine Types
### Unified Machine Types
**Decision:** Add PC types as entries in machinetypes instead of separate pctype system.
**Benefit:** Single source of truth, eliminates pctypeid column.
### Vendor FK for Third-Party Management
### Vendor FK for Third-Party Management
**Decision:** Use vendorid FK in compliance.managedbyvendorid instead of text field.
**Benefit:** Normalized, prevents typos, enables vendor-based queries.
### JSON Settings Field
### JSON Settings Field
**Decision:** Use JSON for type-specific config in communications.
**Benefit:** Flexible, no table bloat, easy to extend.
### Minimal Audit Fields
### Minimal Audit Fields
**Decision:** Removed dateadded/lastupdated from warranties and communications.
**Benefit:** Simpler, only track audit fields where truly needed.
### Machine Relationships Table
### Machine Relationships Table
**Decision:** Generic relationship table instead of specific PC-to-machine or dualpath-only tables.

**Created:** 2025-12-11
**Total Files:** 45 markdown files (25 in `/docs/`, 20 in root)
**Total Lines:** ~19,400 lines
---
## Summary
The documentation has grown organically during the Phase 1-3 migration work. Many files are now historical/completed and can be archived. The goal is to have **6-8 essential docs** that developers actually need.
---
## Proposed Structure
```
shopdb/
├── CLAUDE.md # KEEP - Claude Code instructions
├── TODO.md # KEEP - Active task list
└── docs/
├── README.md # REWRITE - Main index/getting started
├── DEVELOPMENT.md # MERGE - Dev setup + patterns (from ASP_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE + STANDARDS)
├── DATABASE.md # NEW - Current schema + common queries
├── API.md # RENAME - API documentation (from API_ASP_DOCUMENTATION)
├── QUICK_REFERENCE.md # UPDATE - Cheat sheet
└── archive/ # NEW - Historical docs
└── [completed work]
```
---
## Action Plan
### 1. KEEP AS-IS (Root)
| File | Reason |
|------|--------|
| `CLAUDE.md` | Active - Claude Code instructions |
| `TODO.md` | Active - Task tracking |
### 2. KEEP & UPDATE (docs/)
| File | Action |
|------|--------|
| `README.md` | Rewrite as simple getting-started guide |
| `QUICK_REFERENCE.md` | Update with current info, trim fat |
### 3. MERGE INTO NEW FILES
#### → `docs/DEVELOPMENT.md` (merge these):
| Source File | Lines | Take From |
|-------------|-------|-----------|
| `docs/ASP_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md` | 586 | Dev setup, workflow, patterns |
| `docs/STANDARDS.md` | 1232 | Coding standards (trim to essentials) |
| `docs/NESTED_ENTITY_CREATION.md` | 218 | Complex form patterns |
| `CLAUDE_PROJECT_INSTRUCTIONS.md` | 76 | VBScript rules |
| `CLAUDE_REFERENCE.md` | 198 | Code patterns |
#### → `docs/DATABASE.md` (merge these):
| Source File | Lines | Take From |
|-------------|-------|-----------|
| `docs/MIGRATION_STATUS_SUMMARY.md` | 166 | Current architecture |
| `docs/MIGRATION_QUICK_REFERENCE.md` | 197 | Key queries |
| `docs/INVENTORY_COLUMN_MAPPING.md` | 214 | Column reference |
| `MACHINE_QUICK_REFERENCE.md` | 337 | Machine queries |
#### → `docs/API.md` (rename/move):
| Source File | Lines | Action |
|-------------|-------|--------|
| `API_ASP_DOCUMENTATION.md` | 827 | Move to docs/API.md |
### 4. ARCHIVE (Historical - Completed Work)
Move to `docs/archive/`:
| File | Lines | Reason |
|------|-------|--------|
| `docs/DATABASE_MIGRATION_FINAL_DESIGN.md` | 696 | Phase 1 complete |
| `docs/PC_MACHINES_CONSOLIDATION_PLAN.md` | 780 | Phase 2 complete |
| `docs/PHASE3_NETWORK_DEVICES_MIGRATION_PLAN.md` | 489 | Phase 3 complete |
| `docs/DEEP_DIVE_REPORT.md` | 1153 | Outdated - replace with DATABASE.md |
| `docs/COMPLETE_REFACTORING_SUMMARY.md` | 357 | Completed work |
| `docs/MACHINE_RELATIONSHIPS_EXAMPLES.md` | 342 | Merge into DATABASE.md |
| `docs/INFRASTRUCTURE_*.md` (4 files) | ~1800 | Design docs - completed |
| `docs/VENDOR_*.md` (2 files) | ~996 | Refactoring - completed |

| `docs/WARRANTY_MANAGEMENT_DESIGN.md` | 516 | Design doc |
| `docs/NETWORK_DEVICES_UNIFIED_DESIGN.md` | 740 | Design doc |
Move to `docs/archive/sessions/`:
| File | Lines | Reason |

| `SESSION_SUMMARY_2025-11-10.md` | 417 | Historical |
| `SESSION_SUMMARY_2025-11-13.md` | 686 | Historical |

| `MACHINE_*.md` (4 files) | ~1700 | Completed work |
| `DISPLAY_PAGES_UPDATE_SUMMARY.md` | 469 | Completed |
| `ADD_EDIT_MACHINE_UPDATES.md` | 433 | Completed |
| `BUG_FIXES_2025-11-14.md` | 455 | Historical |
| `PRINTER_*.md` (2 files) | ~500 | Completed |
| `SCHEMA_COMPARISON_REPORT_2025-11-20.md` | 291 | Historical |
### 5. DELETE (Redundant)
| File | Reason |
|------|--------|
| `CLAUDE_PROJECT_INSTRUCTIONS.md` | Merged into DEVELOPMENT.md |
| `CLAUDE_REFERENCE.md` | Merged into DEVELOPMENT.md + DATABASE.md |
---
## Final Result
### Essential Docs (6 files):
```
docs/
├── README.md (~100 lines) - Getting started, links
├── DEVELOPMENT.md (~400 lines) - Setup, standards, patterns
├── DATABASE.md (~300 lines) - Schema, queries, architecture
├── API.md (~500 lines) - API endpoints
├── QUICK_REFERENCE.md (~200 lines) - Cheat sheet
└── archive/ - Historical docs (for reference)
```
### Root Files (2 files):
```
shopdb/
├── CLAUDE.md - Claude Code instructions
└── TODO.md - Active tasks
```
---
## Style Rules for New Docs
- **No emojis** - Use text markers instead (e.g., `[OK]`, `[FAIL]`, `NOTE:`, `WARNING:`)
- Plain markdown formatting only
- Consistent heading hierarchy
---
## Execution Order
1. Create `docs/archive/` and `docs/archive/sessions/` directories
2. Move historical files to archive
3. Create new `docs/DATABASE.md` (consolidate schema info)
4. Create new `docs/DEVELOPMENT.md` (consolidate dev guides)
5. Move `API_ASP_DOCUMENTATION.md``docs/API.md`
6. Rewrite `docs/README.md` as simple index
7. Update `docs/QUICK_REFERENCE.md`
8. Delete redundant files
9. Update `CLAUDE.md` to reference new structure
---
## Space Savings
- **Before:** 45 files, ~19,400 lines
- **After:** 8 active files, ~1,500 lines + archive
- **Reduction:** ~90% in active documentation
---
