Documentation Fixes Implementation Summary

Date: 2025-01-27
Status: ✅ Complete

Current Note (2026-04-12): This summary captures the original implementation pass. Since then, the documentation surface has been cleaned up further by archiving the large legacy status-report piles and keeping docs/operations/status-reports/STATUS_REPORTS_INDEX.md as the active router.

Summary

All critical and high-priority documentation fixes have been implemented. The documentation is now better organized, more accurate, and easier to navigate.
