This ensures the project is accessible to broader development tools while maintaining its core functionality. + +## Challenges & Solutions +- **Darcs to Git Conversion**: Challenge was ensuring complete history preservation. Solution: Used darcs convert export piped to git fast-import, verified commit/tag counts. +- **Documentation Accuracy**: README had outdated info. Solution: Updated with current data and converted to AsciiDoc for better compatibility. +- **Agent Guidelines**: No existing standards for AI coding. Solution: Created comprehensive AGENTS.md based on codebase analysis. +- **Note Infrastructure**: Needed system for tracking learnings. Solution: Created ./llm/ with standardized template. + +## Learnings +- Darcs conversion to Git is reliable using standard tools +- AsciiDoc provides better markup flexibility than RST for technical docs +- Establishing agent guidelines early improves consistency +- Comprehensive commit messages serve as excellent project documentation +- Nix-based builds require careful environment management + +## Related +- Files: AGENTS.md, README.asciidoc, llm/README.md, llm/2026-01-07-Session-Changes-Summary.md +- Commits: 7b55727 (comprehensive commit) +- Issues: None (session work)
