# Phase Handover — Platform Project Status Registry

**Workstream:** AI Development Framework (docs-only)  
**Phase ID:** `platform-project-status`  
**Date:** 2026-07-27  
**Status:** Complete

## Objective

Create a permanent project status registry that is the **first document** every implementation phase reads, eliminating full-project scans when present.

## Delivered

### Artifacts
- [`docs/project-status.yaml`](../project-status.yaml) — machine-readable execution dashboard
- [`docs/project-status.md`](../project-status.md) — human-readable companion

### Required fields (YAML)
- `project_version`, `last_updated`, `last_completed_phase`, `next_recommended_phase`
- Per-service: name, backend/frontend status, latest phases, roadmap last phase, architecture/backend/frontend/production flags, snapshot, handover, remaining phases, blockers, dependencies
- `global_statistics` with service counts and completion percentages

### Framework updates
- `master-prompt.md` — read project-status first
- `runtime-read-policy.md` — execution entry step 0 / ALWAYS READ
- `context-cache-policy.md` — always reload project-status
- `development-loop.md` — Discovery + Documentation Update + Completion
- `service-snapshot-policy.md` — regenerate project-status after phase Complete
- `project-index.yaml` — execution_order + shared_references
- `prompt-rules.md` — rules for status registry
- `quality-gates.md` — Project Status gate
- `README.md` — reading order
- `phase-manifest.yaml` — phase registered complete

## Rules encoded

1. At the beginning of every execution, read `project-status.yaml` first.
2. If it exists, do **not** inspect unrelated services / full-project scan.
3. Use it to determine exactly what remains.
4. After every completed phase, update `project-status.yaml` (and `.md`) automatically.
5. Full reconstruction only when the file is missing or invalid.

## Out of scope

- No business service code changes
- No snapshot content regeneration beyond status registry itself
- No next product phase implementation

## Next

Superseded by [phase-af-project-status-v2.md](phase-af-project-status-v2.md) (schema v2 — critical_path / execution_priority / deployment_readiness).
