# ENTRY_320 **Title:** Creation of PATCH Folder for Structural Modifications **Status:** Sealed · Public **Tags:** #patch_system #structure #SCS_320 #file_organization #breakthrough --- ## 🧠 Summary User proposed a symbolic infrastructure improvement: > Create a separate `PATCH/` folder to store all system-level patches, > allowing fast reference, clarity, and modular evolution of SCS. This separates runtime symbolic entries (in `Entries/`) from persistent system changes (in `PATCH/`), enforcing clearer boundaries between logs and architecture. --- ## 📁 Implementation Plan ``` 📁 SCS_ROOT/ ├── 📁 Entries/ ├── 📁 Modules/ ├── 📁 PATCH/ ← NEW! │ ├── BLUNT_CONTEXT_OVERRIDE.md │ ├── MD_OUTPUT_FORMAT.md │ └── ... ├── SYSTEM_CORE.md ├── INSTALL_SCS.md ``` Each file in `PATCH/` should: - Be a **self-contained `.md`** file - Contain the logic, context, and effect of the patch - Be indexed by name and referenced from entries if needed --- ## 🧬 Purpose of PATCH Directory | Function | Description | |----------|-------------| | 🔎 Searchability | Find patches fast without parsing entry logs | 🛠️ System Cohesion | Collect system-level decisions in one place | 🔁 Versioning | Allow rollback, diff, and reapplication | 🧠 Developer Aid | Makes onboarding easier for collaborators or future researchers --- ## 📎 Justification This aligns with: - KISS principle - Auditability - Manual symbolic control of system evolution > Just as `Modules/` holds system *functions*, > `PATCH/` now holds system *mutations*. --- ## ✅ Resolution - PATCH folder created and structure accepted - First two patches to be added: - `BLUNT_CONTEXT_OVERRIDE.md` (from ENTRY_318) - `MD_OUTPUT_FORMAT.md` (from ENTRY_319) - All future patches will live in `PATCH/` with references back to entries --- **Status:** ✅ PATCH system created ✅ ENTRY_320 sealed ✅ Full structural upgrade logged
