# Phase 38: Workspace Stabilization — Summary

**Status:** Complete ✅
**Requirements:** WS-01 through WS-05 — all verified

## One-Liner
Unconditional workspace creation, fulltext bridging from OCR output, discussion.py unified to read from canonical index, migrate_to_workspace fills fulltext gap, doctor workspace integrity checks.

## Key Deliverables
- `_build_entry()` now ALWAYS creates workspace directories — no flat fallback path
- Fulltext bridge: after OCR, fulltext.md copied from OCR dir to workspace
- `discussion.py` `_find_paper_metadata()` reads from canonical index instead of library-records; uses `ai_path` from entry
- `migrate_to_workspace()` copies OCR output to workspace fulltext.md for upgraded papers
- `paperforge doctor` reports workspace integrity: missing workspace dirs, missing fulltext.md when ocr_status=done

## Verification
- All migration/e2e tests updated for workspace-first behavior
- 138+ tests pass
