## 🎯 **Key Changes Made**

### ✅ **Files Removed**
- `CLI_STRUCTURE.md` - Temporary documentation (unnecessary)

### ✅ **Structure Reorganized**  
- **examples/** - Now pure configuration examples & CI/CD workflows
- **test/** - All test projects consolidated here
  - `sunlint-test-project/` - ESLint v9 integration test
  - `conflict-test-project/` - ESLint v8 legacy test  
  - `examples/integration-project/` - Integration example
  - `fixtures/` - Unit test files
- **project-test/** - Real projects (gitignored, separate from test suite)

### ✅ **Documentation Updated**
- **README.md** - Streamlined from 650 → 490 lines (25% reduction)
- **CHANGELOG.md** - Security rules section condensed
- **test/README.md** - Test project documentation
- **examples/README.md** - Configuration examples guide

## 🎉 **Benefits**

1. **Clear Separation**: Examples vs Tests vs Real Projects
2. **Reduced Duplication**: Single source of truth for each purpose
3. **Better Documentation**: Focused README + detailed CHANGELOG
4. **Cleaner Repository**: No redundant files, proper gitignore
5. **Developer Friendly**: Clear structure for contributors

## 🔍 **Quick Navigation**

- **Getting Started**: `README.md` 
- **Version History**: `CHANGELOG.md`
- **Configuration Help**: `examples/`
- **Testing**: `test/`
- **Development**: `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`
