# Config Directory Merge Completion Summary

**Date**: March 2, 2026  
**Action**: Merged duplicate `configs/` directory into `config/`  
**Status**: ✅ **COMPLETE**  

## 🎯 Objective

Eliminated directory duplication by merging the `configs/` folder into the existing `config/` directory, consolidating all configuration files into a single location.

## 📋 Actions Performed

### ✅ Files Moved
1. **`deployment_config.json`** - Smart contract deployment configuration
2. **`edge-node-aitbc.yaml`** - Primary edge node configuration  
3. **`edge-node-aitbc1.yaml`** - Secondary edge node configuration

### ✅ Directory Cleanup
- **Removed**: Empty `configs/` directory
- **Result**: Single unified `config/` directory

### ✅ Reference Updates
1. **`docs/1_project/5_done.md`** - Updated reference from `configs/` to `config/`
2. **`scripts/ops/install_miner_systemd.sh`** - Updated systemd config path

## 📁 Final Directory Structure

```

└── edge-node-aitbc1.yaml      # Secondary edge node config
```

## 📊 Merge Analysis

### Content Categories
- **Application Configs**: CLI settings, environment files (.aitbc.yaml, .env.*)
- **Deployment Configs**: Smart contract deployment (deployment_config.json)
- **Infrastructure Configs**: Edge node configurations (edge-node-*.yaml)
- **Development Configs**: Tool configurations (.nvmrc, .lycheeignore)

### File Types
- **YAML Files**: 3 (CLI + 2 edge nodes)
- **JSON Files**: 1 (deployment config)
- **Environment Files**: 2 (.env.*)
- **Config Files**: 2 (.nvmrc, .lycheeignore)

## 🔍 Verification Results

### ✅ Directory Status
- **`configs/` directory**: ✅ Removed
- **`config/` directory**: ✅ Contains all 9 configuration files
- **File Integrity**: ✅ All files successfully moved and intact

### ✅ Reference Updates
- **Documentation**: ✅ Updated to reference `config/`
- **Scripts**: ✅ Updated systemd installation script
- **API Endpoints**: ✅ No changes needed (legitimate API paths)

## 🚀 Benefits Achieved
