Organizing a Folder

Read references/safe-mutation-rules.md and follow that workflow. This file adds only what is specific to folders.

Works on any folder. Downloads and the Desktop are the usual ones, but the same judgment applies to Documents, a scan folder, a shared drive, or a project directory the user points at.

What "organized" means anywhere

• No byte-identical duplicates. boarding-pass.pdf and boarding-pass(1).pdf are one file.
• No unresolved conflicted copies, if this folder is synced. See below.
• Nothing loose that is older than 90 days. It is archived, not deleted.
• What remains is grouped, one level deep, by kind or by project.
