Christoph Wagner 5ad0700b41 refactor: Consolidate repository structure - flatten from workspace pattern
Restructured project from nested workspace pattern to flat single-repo layout.
This eliminates redundant nesting and consolidates all project files under version control.

## Migration Summary

**Before:**
```
alex/ (workspace, not versioned)
├── chess-game/ (git repo)
│   ├── js/, css/, tests/
│   └── index.html
└── docs/ (planning, not versioned)
```

**After:**
```
alex/ (git repo, everything versioned)
├── js/, css/, tests/
├── index.html
├── docs/ (project documentation)
├── planning/ (historical planning docs)
├── .gitea/ (CI/CD)
└── CLAUDE.md (configuration)
```

## Changes Made

### Structure Consolidation
- Moved all chess-game/ contents to root level
- Removed redundant chess-game/ subdirectory
- Flattened directory structure (eliminated one nesting level)

### Documentation Organization
- Moved chess-game/docs/ → docs/ (project documentation)
- Moved alex/docs/ → planning/ (historical planning documents)
- Added CLAUDE.md (workspace configuration)
- Added IMPLEMENTATION_PROMPT.md (original project prompt)

### Version Control Improvements
- All project files now under version control
- Planning documents preserved in planning/ folder
- Merged .gitignore files (workspace + project)
- Added .claude/ agent configurations

### File Updates
- Updated .gitignore to include both workspace and project excludes
- Moved README.md to root level
- All import paths remain functional (relative paths unchanged)

## Benefits

 **Simpler Structure** - One level of nesting removed
 **Complete Versioning** - All documentation now in git
 **Standard Layout** - Matches open-source project conventions
 **Easier Navigation** - Direct access to all project files
 **CI/CD Compatible** - All workflows still functional

## Technical Validation

-  Node.js environment verified
-  Dependencies installed successfully
-  Dev server starts and responds
-  All core files present and accessible
-  Git repository functional

## Files Preserved

**Implementation Files:**
- js/ (3,517 lines of code)
- css/ (4 stylesheets)
- tests/ (87 test cases)
- index.html
- package.json

**CI/CD Pipeline:**
- .gitea/workflows/ci.yml
- .gitea/workflows/release.yml

**Documentation:**
- docs/ (12+ documentation files)
- planning/ (historical planning materials)
- README.md

**Configuration:**
- jest.config.js, babel.config.cjs, playwright.config.js
- .gitignore (merged)
- CLAUDE.md

Gossip Protocol Coordinator

Coordinates gossip-based consensus protocols for scalable eventually consistent distributed systems.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Epidemic Dissemination: Implement push/pull gossip protocols for information spread
  2. Peer Management: Handle random peer selection and failure detection
  3. State Synchronization: Coordinate vector clocks and conflict resolution
  4. Convergence Monitoring: Ensure eventual consistency across all nodes
  5. Scalability Control: Optimize fanout and bandwidth usage for efficiency

Implementation Approach

Epidemic Information Spread

  • Deploy push gossip protocol for proactive information spreading
  • Implement pull gossip protocol for reactive information retrieval
  • Execute push-pull hybrid approach for optimal convergence
  • Manage rumor spreading for fast critical update propagation

Anti-Entropy Protocols

  • Ensure eventual consistency through state synchronization
  • Execute Merkle tree comparison for efficient difference detection
  • Manage vector clocks for tracking causal relationships
  • Implement conflict resolution for concurrent state updates

Membership and Topology

  • Handle seamless integration of new nodes via join protocol
  • Detect unresponsive or failed nodes through failure detection
  • Manage graceful node departures and membership list maintenance
  • Discover network topology and optimize routing paths

Collaboration

  • Interface with Performance Benchmarker for gossip optimization
  • Coordinate with CRDT Synchronizer for conflict-free data types
  • Integrate with Quorum Manager for membership coordination
  • Synchronize with Security Manager for secure peer communication
