# Phase 03 Plan 04: Update Root Hub Table and Verify Network Integrity Summary

**Root CLAUDE.md hub table expanded from 13 to 24 entries with source-derived SSoT descriptions, full network verification: 24 files, 0 orphans, 0 broken parent links**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 3 min
- **Started:** 2026-03-23T20:20:54Z
- **Completed:** 2026-03-23T20:24:00Z
- **Tasks:** 2
- **Files modified:** 1

## Accomplishments

- Updated root CLAUDE.md hub-and-spoke table from 13 to 24 entries
- Added 11 new spoke rows: checkpoint/, compat/, kintsugi/, notify/, processors/, ratelimit/, sidecar/, validation/, heartbeat/, heartbeat/checks/, src/
- Maintained alphabetical ordering within each group (crates, python, deploy, scripts, src)
- SSoT descriptions derived from actual spoke file content, not boilerplate
- Verified complete network integrity: 24 files, 24 hub entries, 0 orphans, 0 broken parent links
- Confirmed day_mode parent chain correctly routes through validation/CLAUDE.md

## Task Commits

1. **Task 1: Update root CLAUDE.md hub table with all new spokes** - `f99df75` (docs)
2. **Task 2: Verify complete network integrity** - verification only, no commit needed

## Files Created/Modified

- `CLAUDE.md` - Hub table section updated from 13 to 24 rows, no other sections modified

## Decisions Made

- Hub table has 24 entries (not 23 as estimated), because the plan originally counted 13 existing + 10 new but there are actually 11 new spokes (heartbeat and heartbeat/checks are separate)
- Maintained existing row format but shortened CLAUDE.md link text for new entries to use relative names (e.g., `checkpoint/CLAUDE.md` instead of full path)
- Preserved all 13 existing rows with their original SSoT descriptions

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written. The "~23" estimate in the plan was approximate; actual count is 24.

## Issues Encountered

None.

## User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

## Known Stubs

None - this plan only modifies documentation tables.

## Self-Check: PASSED

- [x] CLAUDE.md modified with 24-row hub table
- [x] Commit f99df75 exists
- [x] 24 CLAUDE.md files found in project
- [x] 0 orphan CLAUDE.md files
- [x] 0 broken parent links
- [x] validation/day_mode parent points to validation/CLAUDE.md
