- Updated README.md to reflect the new in-VM git clone feature with `-UseGitClone`.
- Modified Setup-Host.ps1 to correct VMX path references.
- Revised various documentation files (ARCHITECTURE.md, CI-FLOW.md, HOST-SETUP.md, WINDOWS-TEMPLATE-SETUP.md) to include updated paths and features.
- Added Setup-GiteaSSH.md for SSH configuration instructions.
- Archived outdated documentation and updated README.md for clarity on current resources.
- Overview table: mark partial vs done (VM-dependent items noted)
- Success Criteria: check all validated items, mark VM-only as [skip]
- Session results: 22/22 Pester, PSScriptAnalyzer 0 errors, IP validation,
disk watch, retention policy, orphan cleanup, runbook, threat model all pass

Create Test-E2E-Section3.3.ps1 for side-by-side measurement:
- Runs nsis-plugin-nsinnounp with default host-side clone (baseline)
- Runs same build with -UseGitClone flag (target: guest-side git)
- Displays elapsed time, artifact size, performance delta
Usage:
.\scripts\Test-E2E-Section3.3.ps1 # Full comparison
.\scripts\Test-E2E-Section3.3.ps1 -SkipBaseline # Guest-clone only
.\scripts\Test-E2E-Section3.3.ps1 -SkipGuestClone # Baseline only
Prerequisite: Template VM has Git installed (§6.6 Tier-1 Toolchain).
Also: Defer §3.5 (vCPU/RAM tuning) and §3.4 (pre-warm pool) to home lab
section — not required for initial CI operability.

§3.2 — Performance: Implement 7-Zip compression for artifacts with fallback
to Compress-Archive for compatibility. Three call sites updated:
1. Host-side source compression: new Compress-BuildArtifact helper function
2. Guest-side custom build artifacts: inline 7-Zip check in scriptblock
3. Guest-side dotnet build output: inline 7-Zip check in scriptblock
Uses 7z.exe with -mmt=on (multi-threaded) and -mx1 (fast, low ratio impact).
Falls back to Compress-Archive if 7-Zip not found (until §6.6 template update).
Expected 10-20s speedup per build once 7-Zip installed in template.
Also defer all security items (§1.2/1.3/1.5/1.7/1.8) to home-lab section
since environment is isolated and excessive for current use case.
