🔄 Weekly Maintenance

As per inst_062, the README.md requires weekly review. Use this checklist:

Every Monday:

1. Review README.md for accuracy
2. Update "Last Updated" date if material changes made
3. Verify all links still work
4. Check for new internal files that shouldn't be public
5. Run: git ls-files | grep -E "(CLAUDE|SESSION|PITCH|PHASE|MEETING|governance|\.claude)" → should return nothing

📝 Notes

• The internal repository (tractatus) contains ALL files for development
• The public repository (tractatus-framework) is a SUBSET for open source
• .gitignore ensures accidental commits of internal files are prevented
• Use git status before pushing to verify no internal files are staged
