ARC Reference Index — Legacy Pointer

Status / authority: Legacy compatibility pointer
Effective date: 2026-08-05
Dependencies: LEGANT_METHOD_REFERENCE.md; Direction/Four Narrative Constraints.md; published Legant Method page; frozen ARC release
Supersedes: The pre-migration mixed client/internal Reference Index at this path

ARC was the former name of the methodology now governed as the Legant Method.

For current client-readable methodology:

  1. Read LEGANT_METHOD_REFERENCE.md for the detailed method map, framework inventory, applied protocols, evidence status, and source lineage.
  2. Read LEGANT_METHOD_REFERENCE.md and its supporting architecture detail for current architecture: hypothesis, aim, principles, six steps, five alignments, glossary, and evidence boundary.
  3. For the current replacement for Focus Line, read LEGANT_METHOD_REFERENCE.md §§2–3: the nine-question Operating Manual's "What I choose" answers. Direction/Four Narrative Constraints.md, the intermediate replacement, is now legacy.

For exact historical interpretation or recovery, the maintainer retains a frozen ARC release dated 2026-07-29. It preserves the complete pre-migration ARC Reference Index and ARC Methodology.docx with checksums, but it is not included in the public share because it contains private material. The public ARC Methodology.docx is an access notice at the historical filename.

Historical client artifacts retain the terminology they actually used. ARC remains a searchable compatibility alias; it is not the name of new canon.
