Add a "Superseded (2026-07-11)" banner and flip Status: Active → Superseded on the 8 smolmachines-specific docs (7 PRDs + the VM-backend research). Bodies are left intact as a historical record; the banner points at the removal commit and the landscape doc so a reader isn't misled into thinking the backend still exists. Incidental mentions in other PRDs (git-gate, cred-proxy, print-parity, etc.) are left as-is.

Docs
How this project records what it builds and why — and a guide to picking the right document for what you're capturing.
When to write which document
| Artifact | For |
|---|---|
PRD (docs/prds/) |
A feature: what to build, scope, success criteria. |
Research note (docs/research/) |
A landscape/tradeoff investigation. |
Decision record (docs/decisions/) |
A decision that isn't itself a feature — a policy, a convention, a "we will / won't do this," or a load-bearing choice made inside a larger PRD that deserves to be discoverable on its own. |
A decision that's fully specified by a PRD doesn't need duplicating in a decision record. Write one when the decision would otherwise be buried in prose, lost in an issue thread, or have no in-repo home at all (small requests that don't merit a PRD; non-feature choices like merge strategy or a trust posture).
