Big moves

  1. Remotion duplicate (1.2 GB) archived from Repos/sail-litify/workspaces/litify-spring-cleaning/Design/remotion/. Identical copy retained at Repos/reference-repos/remotion/. Then, based on Sam's approved QA option, the remotion copy in reference-repos was ALSO archived.
  2. Reference-repos top 3 archived per Sam's approval: remotion (1.2 GB), promptfoo (399 MB), salesforcedx-vscode (266 MB). Total reclaim: 1.9 GB.
  3. Ghost-os first archived, then RESTORED per Sam's choice of option B to avoid a FOLDER-INDEX.md update this session.
  4. Third ghost-os copy (48 MB) in reference-repos remains archived.
  5. google-ads-python copy (79 MB) archived as clear dupe.
  6. mcp-server-salesforce copy archived as near-dupe of sibling mcp-Salesforce-.
