model for the DZ root. These are zones, not website sections.
| Folder | What It Is For |
|---|---|
| _00_MANIFESTS | Generated maps, audits, inventories, logs, and repair manifests. This is the paper trail: what exists, what was moved, what scripts are classified as risky, SQL/WordPress snapshots, folder-audit records. |
| _10_ACTIVE | Current active work areas. Things being actively worked on or recently staged for attention, like mckinsey, philosophy, recent. Not long-term storage. |
| _20_SOURCE | Source code, scripts, projects, automation, samples. This is where runnable/buildable logic belongs: PowerShell scripts, project folders, tooling. |
| _30_LIBRARY | Durable reference material and reusable assets: data, media, domain libraries, sacred texts, LOGOS material, source caches. This is “kept because it is source/reference material,” not run output. |
| _40_RUNS | Outputs from work: artifacts, builds, previews, machine backups, test results, toolchain logs, scratch/run output. Scratch belongs here as _40_RUNS\scratch, not at root. |
| _50_ARCHIVE | Retired/legacy material kept for reference. Not active, not current workflow, not first place to look. |
| _90_QUARANTINE | Stuff removed from normal structure but preserved because deleting would be unsafe. Root drift, stale config, questionable old folders/files go here with a manifest. Do not treat it as active storage. |
And at root:
| File | What It Is For |
|---|---|
| START_HERE.md | The actual front door. It explains the current operating map, safety rules, SQL/WordPress/runtime orientation, and root contract. |
