 # `crates/` — the `.wo` runtime
 
-Fifteen crates make up the new runtime. Only `rt/` carries real code today (Stage 2); the other fourteen are **empty placeholders** scaffolded to match the 7-phase design so each phase's extraction work becomes a mechanical code move into an existing home.
+Fifteen crates make up the new runtime. Only `rt/` carries real code today (Stage 2); the other fourteen are **planned** per the 7-phase design — scaffolds were deleted 2026-08-08; recreate each crate when its phase activates, so extraction from `rt` stays a mechanical move.
 
-> The crate-name prefix `wo-` was dropped when the active project namespaced itself under `wo` (the binary, the file extension, the language). Internal imports read cleanly: `use ql::Parser`, `use db::Tx`, `use http::router`. The v1 codebase keeps its `wo-*` prefix in [`reference/crates/`](../reference/crates/) to distinguish the generations.
