Donor Retirement Pack
Archive-first proof for making the engine room the working local build authority candidate without deleting old repos.
The Single Idea
The engine room can act as the working local build authority candidate without deleting any donor repo. Retirement means archive-first proof: what was imported, what is still read-only source authority, what is parked or quarantined, and how to restore the current state.
01 - Preservation Proof
The Current State Has A Restore Path
| Surface | Proof |
|---|---|
| Current head | 95ebcca Add clean contextual Gemini embedding lane |
| Git bundle | /srv/aina/checkpoints/aina-data-engine-room/2026-06-13-production-semantic-spine-m5/aina-data-engine-room-95ebcca.bundle |
| Checksum | 11eb8d0a926fde7a81516fe1b3ce236caed00c8eb9939c4f733a0c7a6a076155 |
| DuckDB proof | linkedin_jobs=129165 |
03 - Parked Or Blocked
Retirement Does Not Mean Deletion
| Family | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Raw market rows | blocked_raw | Posting fragments and untrusted labels must not become embedding authority. |
| Quarantined market/company context | quarantined_reference | Useful only after conversion into clean derived artifacts. |
| Bulk generated data | ignored_bulk | Stored on the VDS artifact surface, not tracked in git. |
| Donor repo deletion | blocked_without_founder_approval | Archive manifests are allowed; destructive cleanup is not. |
04 - Retirement Rule
Only Archive After Authority Is Recorded
A donor repo becomes retirement-ready only when useful artifacts are listed, imported or classified, restore proof exists, and Ali explicitly approves any later deletion or GitHub/archive cleanup.
Where To Start
Future agents should start from the registry and this pack, not from another repo archaeology loop.
