# ARCHIVED FILES - OLD ORCHESTRATOR APPROACH

**Date Archived:** 2025-10-26
**Reason:** Superseded by distributed development architecture

---

## WHAT WAS ARCHIVED

The following files were part of the **OLD centralized orchestrator approach** which has been replaced by the **NEW distributed development architecture**.

### Archived Files:
1. **START_EXECUTION.sh** - Old orchestrator entry point
2. **orchestrator/** - Old centralized orchestration system
3. **instance_manager/** - Old instance state management
4. **COMPLETE_SYSTEM_REFERENCE.md** - Old system reference
5. **EXECUTION_REPORT.md** - Old execution report
6. **EXECUTIVE_SUMMARY.md** - Old summary
7. **INDEX.md** - Old index
8. **QUICK_START.md** - Old quick start (superseded)
9. **README.md** - Old readme (superseded)
10. **FILES_GENERATED.txt** - Old file listing

## WHY ARCHIVED

### Old Approach Limitations:
- Centralized orchestration on single system
- Complex master controller coordination
- Still sequential within instances
- Higher coordination overhead

### New Approach Benefits:
- Fully distributed execution
- Independent development machines
- True parallel work (5-10 systems)
- Simple integration at the end
- 82-91% time savings

---

## NEW APPROACH FILES (ACTIVE)

### Core Scripts:
- `DISTRIBUTED_EXECUTOR.sh` - Development machine executor
- `COLLECT_PHASES.sh` - Phase collector
- `INTEGRATE_ALL.sh` - Master integrator
- `phase_validator.py` - Validator
- `integration_tester.py` - Test suite

### Documentation:
- `START_HERE.md` - **START HERE!**
- `DISTRIBUTED_README.md` - Main reference
- `DISTRIBUTED_ARCHITECTURE.md` - Architecture
- `SETUP_GUIDE.md` - Implementation guide
- `IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md` - Summary
- `FINAL_SUMMARY.md` - Complete overview

### Configuration:
- `machine_configs/5_machine_distribution.json`
- `machine_configs/10_machine_distribution.json`

### Examples:
- `examples/quick_setup_5_machines.sh`
- `examples/quick_integration.sh`

### Shared Resources (Still Active):
- `phases/` - Phase definitions (used by both)
- `prompts/` - Phase prompts (used by both)
- `WSL2_UBUNTU_VM_SETUP.md` - Setup reference

---

## KEPT FOR REFERENCE

Some old files are kept in the archive for historical context:
- `MASTER_EXECUTION_PLAN.md` - Original planning document
- All orchestrator code - For reference if needed

---

## TO USE THE NEW SYSTEM

```bash
# Read the quick start
cat START_HERE.md

# Setup a development machine
./examples/quick_setup_5_machines.sh

# Execute phases
./DISTRIBUTED_EXECUTOR.sh execute

# Integrate (on integration system)
./examples/quick_integration.sh
```

**The archived files are not needed for current operations.**
**Use the new distributed approach for 82-91% faster development!**
