+# Plan Abandonment Record
+
+## Plan Information
+- **Original Plan**: readthedocs-automation
+- **Created**: 2025-08-19
+- **Abandoned**: 2025-08-20
+- **Estimated Duration**: 10+ hours (4 phases)
+- **Replacement**: readthedocs-simplified (2 hours, 4 phases)
+
+## Abandonment Reason
+
+### Over-Engineering Assessment
+This plan was abandoned due to **unnecessary complexity** that did not align with SolarWindPy's immediate needs:
+
+1. **Physics-Aware Templates** - Custom template enhancements with physics-specific sections
+2. **Quality Validation Framework** - Complex validation scripts and quality metrics
+3. **Multiple Output Formats** - PDF and EPUB generation beyond basic HTML
+4. **Comprehensive Badge Collections** - Extensive status badge implementations
+5. **Advanced Webhook Integration** - Complex automation beyond simple deployment
+
+### Why It Was Over-Engineered
+- **10+ hour implementation** for features that provided marginal value
+- **Complex validation frameworks** when standard Sphinx warnings suffice
+- **Physics-specific enhancements** that could be added incrementally if needed
+- **Multiple output formats** that aren't used by most Python packages
+- **Advanced automation** when manual setup works fine initially
+
+### What Was Preserved
+The replacement plan (readthedocs-simplified) preserves the **essential insights**:
+- **Template persistence requirement** - Core architectural need
+- **Doc8 linting fixes** - Immediate CI/CD unblocking
+- **ReadTheDocs configuration** - Basic deployment capability
+- **Quality validation** - Simple, effective testing
+
+### Value Comparison
+
+| Aspect | Abandoned Plan | Replacement Plan | Assessment |
+|--------|---------------|------------------|------------|
+| **Implementation Time** | 10+ hours | 2 hours | **80% time savings** |
+| **Complexity** | High | Low | **Much easier to maintain** |
+| **Template Persistence** | ✅ | ✅ | **Same core value** |
+| **ReadTheDocs Deployment** | ✅ | ✅ | **Same end result** |
+| **CI/CD Unblocking** | ✅ (after 10 hours) | ✅ (immediate) | **90% faster delivery** |
+| **Physics Documentation** | ✅ | ❌ (deferrable) | **Optional enhancement** |
+
+## Strategic Decision
+The abandonment represents a **strategic pivot** from:
+- **Theoretical future requirements** → **Immediate practical needs**
+- **Complex upfront implementation** → **Incremental enhancement path**
+- **Over-engineered solutions** → **Standard, proven patterns**
+
+## Lessons Learned
+1. **Start simple**: Basic functionality delivers 90% of the value
+2. **Incremental enhancement**: Features can be added when actually needed
+3. **Standard patterns**: What most Python packages use is usually sufficient
+4. **Time to value**: 2 hours of working documentation > 10 hours of perfect documentation
+
+## Future Enhancement Path
+If advanced features from this plan are needed later:
+1. **Physics templates**: Add incrementally to existing template system
+2. **Quality frameworks**: Implement when documentation scale requires it
+3. **Multiple formats**: Add PDF/EPUB if users specifically request them
+4. **Advanced automation**: Enhance when manual process becomes bottleneck

+# Phase 1: Workflow Creation
+
+## Overview
+Create the two new GitHub Actions workflows that will replace the broken ci.yml and publish.yml files with clean, maintainable alternatives.
+
+## Objectives
+- Create `release-pipeline.yml` for version tag deployments
+- Create `continuous-integration.yml` for PR validation
+- Implement tag detection logic with RC identification
+- Configure progressive deployment stages
+- Avoid complex YAML patterns that caused original failures
+
+## Tasks
+
+### Task 1.1: Create release-pipeline.yml (40 minutes)
+**Implementation Steps:**
+```bash
+# Create the new release pipeline workflow
+touch .github/workflows/release-pipeline.yml
+```
+
+**Workflow Requirements:**
+- **Trigger**: Version tags (v*) on master branch
+- **Flow**: Tag Detection → Quality Checks → Release Branch → TestPyPI → [PyPI if not RC] → [Conda if not RC]
+- **Features**:
+  - Intelligent version detection (RC vs production)
+  - Progressive deployment with validation gates
+  - Release branch creation for audit trail
+  - No complex conditionals or inline comments
+
+**Quality Checks Matrix:**
+- 3 Operating Systems: Ubuntu, macOS, Windows
+- 4 Python versions: 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12
+- Total: 12 test combinations
+
+**Deployment Stages:**
+1. Always deploy to TestPyPI
+2. Deploy to PyPI only if not RC
+3. Create GitHub Release only if not RC
+4. Open conda-forge issue only if not RC
+
+### Task 1.2: Create continuous-integration.yml (20 minutes)
+**Implementation Steps:**
+```bash
+# Create the new CI workflow for PRs
+touch .github/workflows/continuous-integration.yml
+```
+
+**Workflow Requirements:**
+- **Trigger**: Pull requests and non-master branches
+- **Flow**: Quick tests with Python 3.12 on Ubuntu
+- **Purpose**: Lightweight PR validation
+- **Features**:
+  - Single platform testing for speed
+  - Essential quality checks only
+  - No deployment logic
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] `release-pipeline.yml` created with complete deployment logic
+- [ ] `continuous-integration.yml` created with PR validation
+- [ ] Both workflows use clean YAML without inline comments
+- [ ] Tag detection logic correctly identifies RC vs production
+- [ ] Progressive deployment configured with proper conditionals
+- [ ] Quality checks matrix covers all supported platforms
+- [ ] Workflows validate syntax when committed
+
+## Risk Mitigation
+- **YAML Parsing**: Avoid comments inside literal blocks that broke original workflows
+- **Parallel Operation**: New workflows coexist with broken ones during testing
+- **Validation**: Syntax check workflows before committing
+- **Rollback**: Keep old workflows until new ones proven functional
+
+## Progress Tracking
+- [x] Task 1.1: release-pipeline.yml created and configured
+- [x] Task 1.2: continuous-integration.yml created and configured
+- [x] Both workflows committed to feature branch (commit: 0c646c5)
+- [x] Syntax validation passed
+- [x] Ready for Phase 2: Version Detection Configuration
+
+## Implementation Checksum
+**Commit**: `0c646c5` - feat: implement Phase 1 - create new CI/CD workflows
+**Files Created**:
+- `.github/workflows/release-pipeline.yml` (433 lines)
+- `.github/workflows/continuous-integration.yml` (150 lines)
+
+## Phase 1 Completion Notes
+- Created clean, linear workflow architecture bypassing GitHub cache issues
+- Implemented progressive deployment: TestPyPI → PyPI → GitHub Release
+- RC detection logic prevents production deployments for release candidates
+- Quality validation matrix covers 3 operating systems and 4 Python versions
+- Lightweight PR validation with extended testing for plan branches
+- No complex YAML patterns or inline comments that could break parsing
+
+## Time Estimate
+**Total: 1 hour**
+- Task 1.1: 40 minutes
+- Task 1.2: 20 minutes
+
+## Notes
+- These workflows completely bypass the GitHub cache corruption issue by using new file names
+- Clean linear flow design makes debugging easier
+- No complex YAML patterns that could break GitHub Actions parser
+- Foundation for reliable PyPI deployment process
