+## Reference Files (2025-11-12)
+
+**CRITICAL STABLE STATE CAPTURE**
+
+Due to a refactoring session that became overly complex and violated GUARDRAILS.md principles, we captured reference files from the last stable commit before the failed attempt:
+
+**Commit:** `dbde13e` - "feat: enhance control system with improved UI and debug functionality"
+**Date:** 2025-11-11 00:29:34 +0100
+
+### Files:
+- `GUARDRAILS-edit-mode-dbde13e-2025-11-11-00-29-34.html` - Edit mode output
+- `GUARDRAILS-static-dbde13e-2025-11-11-00-29-34.html` - Static mode output
+
+### What This Represents:
+This is the reference point for what "working edit mode" should look like. Any future attempts to restore or fix edit mode functionality should be tested against these reference files.
+
+### Key Characteristics:
+- Edit mode message: "✓ Rendered with interactive editing capabilities"
+- Should contain working UI controls
+- Should display content properly
+- Should have functional section editing
+
+### Critical Lesson:
+**Always commit stable functionality before attempting refactoring!** This mistake of not having a clear stable baseline made recovery unnecessarily difficult.
