• Result: Clean, professional project structure

2. Logical File Organization

• Reports: All implementation reports moved to docs/reports/
• Quality Tools: Code quality configs moved to config/quality/
• Scripts: Executable scripts moved to scripts/
• Documentation: Release notes and docs organized properly

3. Documentation Updates

• Project Structure: Created comprehensive PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md
• README: Updated to reflect new organization
• References: Added proper cross-references
