+Fractured / Paragon — non-runtime repo extras
+==============================================
+
+This folder holds material that is not required to configure, build, or run
+AzerothCore. Upstream AzerothCore does not ship these paths.
+
+Contents:
+- BUILD-NATIVE.md — fork-specific native build notes (moved from repo root).
+- CLAUDE.md — optional AI assistant context (moved from repo root).
+- *.log — local build logs (moved from repo root when present).
+
+Operational files (docker-compose.override.yml, env/dist, modules/mod-paragon,
+etc.) stay at their normal locations.
