+# Solutions Engineering Migration Lab
+
+This directory is the scope of the Solutions Engineering migration lab.
+
+When using an AI coding tool for this exercise:
+
+- Work from `solutions-engineering/migration-lab` and `.github/workflows/acme-ci.yml`.
+- Do not inspect or run other interview exercises in this repository unless the interviewer explicitly asks you to.
+- Prefer evidence from workflow files, CI logs, Blacksmith Run History, runner metrics, and SSH debugging over broad repository exploration.
+- Keep changes focused on the migration lab.
