+# Archive legacy workflows
+
+## Status
+
+- Status: waiting
+- Current phase: plan approval
+- Next safe action: obtain approval before product changes.
+
+## Request and scope
+
+Archive both `extensions/workflow` and `extensions/_workflows` under `__archived/extensions/`. Preserve source and tests as historical reference, not supported runnable packages. Keep `develop-workflow`, historical documentation, live Pi configuration, existing worktrees, and skill validation evidence intact.
+
+## Git identity
+
+- Source branch: main
+- Base commit: fee0d44e2ddd7a982e94ebf99117f69bb9bae78e
+- Feature branch: feature/archive-workflows
+- Worktree: /srv/data/code/jb-pi/harness-tools/.worktrees/archive-workflows
+- Omitted source changes: none; source was clean.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- Both implementations and their tests are retained in the archive.
+- Active workspace inventory, lockfile, and root test commands no longer reference them.
+- Current docs explain the archive and explicit pilot-prerequisite override; skill validation remains open.
+- Active checks pass or failures are reported with evidence; independent reviewers approve the pinned diff.
+
+## Approved implementation plan and gates
+
+1. Move tracked files for both implementations to `__archived/extensions/`, preserving historical code unchanged. Add an archive README explaining historical relative imports and how to recover runnable sources from Git. Fix the moved workflow README's repository documentation links.
+2. Remove the obsolete workspace exclusion and legacy test globs from `package.json`; update workspace inventory assertions and only legacy workspace entries in `bun.lock`. No third-party version or dependency changes. The existing TypeScript include already excludes archives.
+3. Update root README, retirement TODO, and ADR 0006 with an explicit pointer to a small retirement ADR. Keep separate scenario/pilot validation TODO open. Preserve historical plans and ADR content rather than mass-rewriting old paths.
+4. Verify focused package/link tests, root typecheck, and full `bun run test`. There are no root lint/build scripts. Check archived file preservation and absence of active imports. No UI change, installation, publishing, host configuration, or production access.
+5. Commit verified work; fetch/rebase main, reverify any changed tree, obtain separate standards and specification reviews of the exact binary diff, fast-forward local main, commit closure metadata, and safely remove only this worktree/branch. Rollback is a focused revert of the archival product commit.
+
+- Scope approval: user selected Archive both.
+- Retirement gate: user selected Archive now, explicitly overriding the deferred three-pilot prerequisite. This does not claim pilot success.
+- Plan approval: pending.
+
+## Ownership
+
+Parent agent owns all mutations listed above, including this record and new archival README/ADR. No subagent owns files. Mutating implementation deadline: 15 minutes; stop and checkpoint if exceeded. Reviewers are read-only and distinct from the parent.
+
+## Verification matrix
+
+Pending: `bun run test:packages`, `bun run test:links`, `bun run typecheck`, `bun run test`, `git diff --check`, archive byte-preservation check.
+
+## Review
+
+Pending. Pin base, product HEAD, tree, commit list, exact `git diff --binary --full-index --find-renames <base>...<head> --` SHA-256, reviewer identities and verdicts before integration.
+
+## Integration and rollback
+
+Pending local fast-forward after review; rollback via focused revert.
+
+## Checkpoints and blockers
+
+None beyond plan approval.
