# Task: Remove the deleted project-document Skill requirement

## Identity

- Task ID: 20260908-remove-maintain-project-docs-requirement-6d8a31f2
- Mode: Integration
- Branch: main
- Worktree: /Users/inmanx/Documents/lwltAPI
- Base commit: 515b545b32fcbb30311b56c5b90a36f3d3834d95
- Owner: codex
- Status: Completed

## Scope

- Remove repository requirements for the deleted `maintain-project-docs` Skill and its `task_context.py` or Skill-owned validation commands.
- Keep `.project-docs/` as repository-local project memory and replace external ownership mechanics with self-contained Git worktree checks.

## Intent And Constraints

- Preserve the user's pre-existing untracked task record and all unrelated worktree state.
- Do not rewrite historical task records that accurately describe the workflow used at that time.
- Do not change product behavior, release artifacts, schemas, mappings, or runtime code.

## Outcome

- Removed every active startup, ownership, validation, and completion requirement tied to the deleted `maintain-project-docs` Skill, `task_context.py`, or Skill-owned validation scripts.
- Replaced the external ownership/lock workflow with repository-local Git branch, worktree, status, base-commit, and overlap checks.
- Kept `.project-docs/` as the canonical project-memory location and preserved its task-record and Integration review boundaries.
- Renamed the repository-hygiene test so it describes the project-memory invariant without naming the deleted Skill.
- Removed the two exact `.DS_Store` residue files reported by repository hygiene checks; no unrelated source or task record was changed.

## Verification

- `git diff --check`: passed before the final task-record update.
- `node --run check:repo`: passed, 10/10.
- `node --run check`: passed.
- `node --run test:control-plane`: passed.
- `node --run test:legacy`: passed, 273/273.
- `node --run build`: passed.
- Active-reference scan confirmed remaining old command names occur only in historical task/reflection records or in explicit statements that they are not required.

## Follow-ups

- None recorded.

## Promotion Candidates

- None recorded; this task directly updates the repository-wide governance requested by the user.
