Phase 1 of the 2026-07 simplification audit, group 1. All verified dead by
independent grep across scripts/, .github/workflows/, codegen/, manifold/,
firmware/, vcv/, nisps/ and README.md before removal.
- S23 / L55: playground/ — only dist/ was tracked (1.2 MB of bundled JS,
sourcemaps and a second copy of nisps.wasm). The app itself is preserved on
branch archive/playground-solidjs and tag playground-solidjs-final.
- S29: the root Playwright rig — playwright.config.js, package.json,
package-lock.json and tests/e2e/. It served ./playground, a page that no
longer exists anywhere in the tree, and was invoked by nothing. NOTE: the
live suite is manifold/tests/e2e/ with manifold/playwright.config.ts, which
is untouched; every CI Playwright step runs with working-directory: manifold.
- L48: NISPS_CORE_EXTRACTION_PLAN.md + NISPS_CORE_TASKS.md (818 lines of
extraction relics; docs/specs/plans/ is the sanctioned home for plans).
- L36: data/ — two CSVs from a retired era, plus a tracked LibreOffice lock file.
- L32: .claude/worktrees/agent-ae87fe47/ only. The audit's wording invites
deleting .claude/worktrees/ wholesale; that would have been destructive —
the directory holds 12 LIVE registered git worktrees (332 MB), four of them
on branches with unpushed commits. Verified agent-ae87fe47 is NOT registered
before removing it; every live worktree is left intact. Cleaning up the rest
is a separate operator decision.
- ST10 fallout: dropped the dead `port-solidjs` branch trigger from ci.yml and
the dead `feat/manifold-mission` / `feat/vcv-dist` triggers from
vcv-plugin.yml — those branches are stale and the SolidJS target is retired.
tests/cpp/ is untouched. Gates: run-all-tests.sh ALL GREEN.
- add .github/workflows/vcv-plugin.yml: official rack-plugin-toolchain
(pinned to commit 4fd1318, Rack SDK 2.6.6, image v19) cross-builds the
MEMLNaut plugin for lin-x64/win-x64/mac-x64/mac-arm64 on CI, uploads
.vcvplugin artifacts, and attaches them to GitHub Releases on v* tags.
- add vcv/DISTRIBUTION.md: build + publish flow, how to add CI release
artifacts to meml.lnfinitemonkeys.org/next/vcv.
- add vcv/.gitignore for build products (build/, dist/, *.vcvplugin, binaries).
- BUILDING.md: point at DISTRIBUTION.md; note make dist supersedes Makefile.dist.
Linux x64 .vcvplugin built + verified locally via make dist and published to
/next/vcv (additive subdir). Windows/macOS deferred to CI per prod-host policy.
