Per direction shift (#542). Deletion is more valuable than extraction.

Task

Review every file in the repo. Categorize:

KEEP — serves Heartbeat, Harness, or Portal Interface:

nexus/ Python package (perception_adapter, experience_store, trajectory_logger, nexus_think, groq_worker)
server.js / server.py (if serving the harness or heartbeat)
docker-compose.yml, Dockerfile, deploy.sh, CI workflows
portals.json, vision.json (if they configure portal interface)
CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md (process docs)

FLAG FOR DELETION — does not serve the three pillars:

app.js (Three.js 3D world)
archon_assembler.js (3D avatar system)
style.css, index.html (3D world frontend)
service-worker.js, manifest.json (PWA for deleted frontend)
icons/ directory
tests/smoke.spec.js (tests a deleted frontend)

Deliverable

Create DELETION_AUDIT.md in the repo. For each file: keep/delete/unknown + one-line justification. Alexander approves the final list before anything is removed.

Done — DELETION_AUDIT.md committed

Audited every file in the repo against the three pillars.

DELETE (16 files, ~136 KB):

app.js (59 KB) — Three.js 3D world
archon_assembler.js — 3D avatar system
style.css, index.html — 3D world frontend
service-worker.js, manifest.json, icons/ — PWA for deleted frontend
server.js, nginx.conf — Express/Nginx serving deleted frontend
package.json, package-lock.json — Node deps for deleted server
send_ws.py — one-off test utility
tests/ — Playwright tests for deleted frontend

KEEP (22 files):

nexus/ Python package (heartbeat + harness)
server.py (WS broadcast)
portals.json, vision.json (config)
Infrastructure + docs

REWRITE (3 files):

ci.yml — currently validates deleted HTML/JS, needs Python-only rewrite
Dockerfile — currently builds Node/Nginx, needs Python rewrite
docker-compose.yml — port mapping for deleted frontend

Post-deletion state: Pure Python heartbeat engine + config. No JS, CSS, HTML, Node, or Nginx.

Awaiting Alexander's approval before any deletion is executed.
