-# Pediatric AI Scribe Developer Guide
-
-This page used to be a long, hand-maintained developer guide. It drifted from
-the codebase and repeated stale details about routes, providers, files, memory
-behavior, and database tables.
-
-Use the focused current docs instead:
-
-| Topic | Current doc |
-|---|---|
-| Developer workflow and extension points | [`developer-guide.md`](developer-guide.md) |
-| API endpoints | [`api-reference.md`](api-reference.md) |
-| Database tables and retention | [`database.md`](database.md) |
-| Architecture overview | [`architecture.md`](architecture.md) |
-| Deep implementation notes | [`logic/architecture.md`](logic/architecture.md) |
-| AI/STT/TTS behavior | [`logic/ai-and-voice.md`](logic/ai-and-voice.md), [`speech.md`](speech.md), [`transcription-options.md`](transcription-options.md) |
-| Deployment and operations | [`deployment.md`](deployment.md) |
-| Mobile wrapper | [`mobile-build.md`](mobile-build.md) |
-
-## Current Architecture
-
-- Express app entry: `server.js`.
-- Database: PostgreSQL through `src/db/database.js` and versioned migrations in
-  `migrations/`.
-- Frontend: vanilla JavaScript modules in `public/js/` and lazy-loaded tab
-  fragments in `public/components/`.
-- Auth: web uses the `ped_auth` httpOnly cookie; mobile uses secure token
-  storage and `Authorization: Bearer` headers.
-- AI: `src/utils/ai.js` routes to the configured provider/model allowlist.
-- STT/TTS: server-side providers plus explicit opt-in browser Web Speech
-  fallback only. Browser Whisper/browser-local model downloads are removed.
-- User templates: `user_memories` stores encrypted templates/preferences;
-  `/api/memories/context` injects only AI-context categories into prompts.
-- Audio backups: `audio_backups` is an optional encrypted 24-hour recovery store
-  for failed transcription uploads.
-
-## Maintenance Rule
-
-Do not add another large duplicated guide here. Update the focused docs above
-in the same commit as code changes so the admin docs reader does not serve stale
-parallel documentation.
