synthesizing-findings

A strategic rebuild plan synthesizes completed layer analysis into actionable decisions regarding component reuse, implementation phasing, and validation across architecture, database, tests, and integrations. It guides the systematic reconstruction of the system based on documented findings.

The best way to document reuse and phasing decisions is to generate a REBUILD-PLAN.md file. This plan should reference existing layer documentation rather than copying content, ensuring decisions regarding architecture, database, tests, and integrations remain synchronized with the detailed analysis.

Yes, completed layer documentation stored in docs/unwind/layers/ is required. The rebuild plan synthesizes these specific findings to validate architecture boundaries, assess reuse options, and define implementation phasing, meaning the analysis phase must be complete first.

Yes, you can update architecture documentation while creating a rebuild plan. If validating the architecture against detailed layer findings reveals necessary corrections, the docs/unwind/architecture.md file should be updated to reflect the adjusted boundaries and structural decisions.

A rebuild plan should reference layer docs instead of copying content to maintain a single source of truth and avoid documentation drift. This approach synthesizes strategic decisions regarding reuse and phasing while directing users to the detailed layer analysis for underlying technical specifics.
