Archive Doctrine
The operating philosophy for how transmissions, metadata, visual artifacts, and continuity records should live together.
Core Doctrine
Individual Transmissions
Each transmission is a sealed moment in time with its own HTML file, metadata file, and any supporting assets required to understand the record.
Master Index
The archive index is the reader-facing entry point. It should never require someone to guess which folder matters.
Manifest
archive_manifest.json is the searchable metadata backbone for automation, indexing, and future navigation.
Continuity
Brandon Hatfield, LPC preserves the clinical vision. Gregory preserves doctrine. Cody preserves implementation detail. The archive exists to keep those threads legible.
Where Things Live
transmissions/ holds durable Markdown canon.
archive/ holds the public visual archive.
archive/assets/ holds shared visual references and mockups.
archive/YYYY/CC-TX-.../assets/ holds assets that belong to one specific transmission.
