docs: archive relay.ngit.dev migration materials for reference

Move migration guide and scripts to docs/archive/2026-01-relay-ngit-dev-migration/
with clear warnings that these are reference-only materials from a specific
migration context, not general-purpose tools.

These materials document the relay.ngit.dev migration from ngit-relay to
ngit-grasp in January 2026. The scripts were developed iteratively during
the migration and are specific to that context. They are preserved for:
- Historical reference
- Context for production fixes in this branch
- Inspiration for future migrations (not direct reuse)

The migration uncovered critical bugs now fixed in this branch:
- Git protocol error handling
- Naughty list false positives
- Purgatory event tracking
- Sync startup issues
- Configuration management

# relay.ngit.dev Migration Archive (January 2026)
**Status:** Reference only - not maintained
This directory contains the migration guide and scripts used during the
relay.ngit.dev migration from ngit-relay to ngit-grasp in January 2026.
## ⚠️ Important
These materials are **archived for reference only**:
- **Scripts are specific to the relay.ngit.dev migration context**
- **Not designed for general use or other migrations**
- **May not work without modification**
- **Not maintained or supported**
Do not expect these scripts to work out of the box for your migration.
## What's Here
- `migration-guide.md` - Lessons learned, approach, and context from the actual migration
- `scripts/` - Analysis and validation scripts used during the migration process
## Why Archive This?
The relay.ngit.dev migration uncovered numerous bugs and edge cases that resulted
in critical production fixes. See commits in the `4bc5-relay-ngit-dev-migration-v2`
branch for details.
These materials document:
- Real-world migration challenges encountered
- Debugging approaches that worked in practice
- Context for production fixes merged from this branch
- Iterative script development during active migration
## Using This as Reference
If you're planning a migration to ngit-grasp:
1. **Read the migration guide** for conceptual approach and lessons learned
2. **Review the scripts** to understand what kinds of analysis were needed
3. **Expect to write your own scripts** tailored to your specific context
4. **Test extensively** in a non-production environment first
These materials show what was needed for one specific migration, not a
general-purpose migration toolkit.
## Context
This migration was completed in January 2026 and resulted in relay.ngit.dev
running ngit-grasp in production. The branch containing these materials also
includes critical fixes for:
- Git protocol error handling
- Naughty list false positives
- Purgatory event tracking
- Sync startup issues
- Configuration management
Those fixes are now part of the main codebase.
