Changed

• Update .github/copilot-instructions.md to reflect testing documentation structure
• Update issue-triage.yml to add safety documentation references in workflow comments
• Consolidate configuration validation guide into TESTING_AI_ISSUE_TRIAGE.md (Configuration Validation section)
• Update all references to point to merged testing documentation
• Documentation Structure: Reorganize workflow testing docs from flat structure to /testing/ subfolder
  • Consolidate testing procedures by workflow type (not by test approach)
  • Keep implementation reference materials in ai-triage/ and discord/ folders
  • Simplify main README to focus on navigation
  • Update copilot instructions with new best practices for workflow documentation
• Delete old redundant files: WORKFLOWS_TESTING_GUIDE.md, NAVIGATION_GUIDE.md, CONSOLIDATION_SUMMARY.md
  • Content migrated to specific testing guides in /testing/ folder

  • Update AI triage docs to include local development setup with .env.local for OPENAI_API_KEY
• Documentation Consolidation: Migrate feature request system docs from /docs/features/feature-requests/ to /docs/engineering/guides/feature-requests/
  • Feature request system is an operational guide, not a user-facing feature
  • Better categorization under engineering guides where it's more discoverable
• Documentation Organization: Move floating engineering docs to appropriate subdirectories
  • DISCORD_WEBHOOKS.md → guides/DISCORD_WEBHOOKS.md (setup & process guide)
  • CHANGELOG_WORKFLOW.md → guides/CHANGELOG_WORKFLOW.md (team process)
  • MERCHANT_INTEGRATION.md → deployment/MERCHANT_INTEGRATION.md (technical implementation)
  • Ensures no floating docs at /docs/engineering/ root level
  • All references updated to new paths
• Documentation Safeguards Updated: Enhanced DOCUMENTATION_SAFEGUARDS.md with:
  • Decision tree for feature vs. workflow vs. operational guide classification
  • Recent consolidations documented
  • Clear rules preventing floating docs in engineering root
  • Status of all documentation organization improvements
• Simplified Discord embed payload by removing timestamp field (not required by Discord API)
• Improved code clarity in commit deduplication logic
• Enhanced failure handling with continue-on-error: true for Discord and history update steps

Fixed

• Remove green status indicator circle from dashboard header to reduce visual clutter
• Fix cleanup test helper parsing and exit handling so dry-run mode completes without errors
• Documentation: Clarify OPENAI_API_KEY setup for both local development (.env.local) and production (GitHub Secrets)
• Issue automation workflow now searches organization and user-level projects in addition to repository projects
• Fix discord-notify.yml artifact-based commit tracking implementation
  • Corrected multi-line string handling in bash (use $'\n' instead of literal newlines in YAML)
  • Fixed condition syntax with proper YAML quoting for complex if expressions
  • Removed invalid github.event.head_commit.timestamp reference (not available in all contexts)
  • Improved Discord payload building with cleaner error handling
  • Properly conditioned history updates to only run on successful notifications
• Fix commit filtering logic in discord-notify workflow
  • Improved NOTIFIED_SHAS extraction from artifact
  • Added proper handling for empty history files
