File Movement Strategy - Task 2.2

Task 2.2: Design File Movement Strategy

Date: 2025-01-23 Purpose: Create detailed plan for moving files to new locations while preserving functionality

File Movement Strategy Overview

🎯 Strategic Approach: Copy-First, Validate, Then Remove

1. Copy files to new locations (preserve originals)

2. Update references to point to new locations

3. Validate functionality thoroughly

4. Remove originals only after complete validation

Reference Update Strategy

Phase 1: Documentation References

Files requiring updates:
  - enhanced-JAEGIS-orchestrator-instructions.md
  - JAEGIS-user-guidelines-condensed.md
  - Cross-referencing documentation files

Update types:
  - Internal documentation links
  - File path references
  - Directory structure references

Method:
  1. Identify all cross-references
  2. Update paths to new locations
  3. Validate link functionality

Phase 2: Script References

Files requiring updates:
  - Build scripts referencing configuration files
  - Service scripts referencing configuration
  - Installation scripts referencing other scripts

Update types:
  - Configuration file paths
  - Script execution paths
  - Output directory paths

Method:
  1. Scan scripts for hardcoded paths
  2. Update to new directory structure
  3. Test script execution

Phase 3: Configuration References

- Extension loading failure
- User interface broken
- Multiple system failures

Rollback Procedure

1. Stop all movement activities
2. Restore files from backup
3. Revert path changes
4. Validate system functionality
5. Analyze failure cause
6. Revise strategy if needed
