tegwick ddefd69f71 IB-WP-0014: archive-list, restore, retention annotation, docs (T03-T05)
Round out IB-WP-0014 with the remaining archive operations and docs.

- restore_archive() and `infospace-bench restore <pkg> --target <dir>` round-trip
  a finalized package's bytes back to disk. Refuses to overwrite a non-empty
  target unless --force. --from <infospace-root> resolves the store location.
- archive-list CLI with --with-retention flag; annotate_retention() opens the
  per-infospace registry and joins each record with its current retention
  state (effective class, expires, holds, eligibility).
- docs/archive-integration.md covers when to archive, the include set,
  retention classes, storage layout, credentials policy, and the explicit
  non-goal that S3/git backends live in artifact-store.
- SCOPE.md cross-links the new doc.
- Workplan flipped to status: done. Full pytest suite: 72 passed.

SCOPE

This file helps humans and agents quickly understand what this repository is for, when it is relevant, and where its boundaries are.


One-liner

Application-layer workspace and service for building, evaluating, inspecting, and evolving concrete structured knowledge spaces.


Core Idea

infospace-bench turns the infospace ideas that emerged in markitect-main into a focused successor project. It should host real infospaces, their configuration, evaluation runs, inspection outputs, workflow traces, and export experiments.

The repo is intentionally above the lower layers:

  • markitect-tool owns markdown syntax and document transformation primitives.
  • kontextual-engine owns persistence, orchestration, and runtime system concerns.
  • infospace-bench owns concrete applied knowledge spaces and their lifecycle.

In Scope

  • Defining infospaces as first-class, inspectable project artifacts
  • Populating infospaces from real sources and domain-specific configurations
  • Evaluating entity quality, collection quality, structure, and viability
  • Inspecting relationships, provenance, metrics history, and workflow outputs
  • Running application-level generation, transformation, and analysis workflows
  • Capturing reusable patterns that may later move into lower-layer repos

Out of Scope

  • Low-level markdown parsing, schema syntax primitives, or rendering engines
  • Generic persistence infrastructure or workflow orchestration platforms
  • General content management, publishing, or WYSIWYG editing
  • Reusable libraries that belong in markitect-tool or kontextual-engine
  • Silent coupling to a single LLM vendor or runtime

Relevant When

  • A real corpus, book, project, or organization needs an explicit infospace
  • Knowledge artifacts need systematic evaluation and iteration history
  • Relationship structure and quality metrics need to be inspected over time
  • Agent-assisted knowledge development needs scoped project context
  • A MarkiTect infospace experiment needs to be migrated or reimplemented

Not Relevant When

  • The work is only markdown syntax manipulation
  • The work is engine/runtime infrastructure
  • A finalized domain repository should own the production artifact
  • A few simple documents only need ordinary editing

Current State

  • Status: newly bootstrapped successor repo
  • Source intent: INTENT.md, PRD, and FRS in wiki/
  • Upstream comparison target: /home/worsch/markitect-main
  • State Hub registration: infospace-bench under the markitect domain
  • First workplans: lifecycle scaffold, MarkiTect migration triage, evaluation framework, and reference infospace pilot

Getting Oriented

  • Start with: INTENT.md, wiki/ProductRequirementsDocument.md, wiki/FunctionalRequirementsSpecification.md
  • Migration assessment: docs/markitect-main-scope-assessment.md
  • Archive integration with artifact-store: docs/archive-integration.md
  • Workplans: workplans/
  • State Hub rules: CLAUDE.md and .claude/rules/
