-# Shared shell profile
+# Shared login profile
 
-This repository owns the login environment and interactive commands intended
-to be shared by Bourne-family shells.
-
-"Shared" means shells capable of reading POSIX-style `sh`, such as `sh`, Bash,
-Dash and—with appropriate compatibility—Zsh. It does not mean that the same
-file can be sourced directly by shells with different languages, such as Fish
-or Nushell.
+This repository owns the portable login environment. It is deliberately quiet,
+shell-agnostic and independent of interactive shell configuration.
 
 ## Responsibilities
 
 - Install `~/.profile` as a symlink into this repository.
 - Define XDG locations and general editor/browser environment variables.
-- Construct PATH idempotently for language and user-level executable paths.
-- Load environment setup that is portable at login, such as Cargo's `env` file.
-- Provide common aliases and small interactive functions that are useful
-  across supported Bourne-family shells.
-- Isolate Arch Linux commands from otherwise portable shell configuration.
+- Construct `PATH` idempotently for language and user-level executables.
+- Load portable login environment setup, such as Cargo's `env` file.
 
 ## Boundaries
 
-The `profile` file must remain quiet, idempotent and safe for a POSIX shell to
-source during login. It must not print an alias catalogue, configure a prompt,
-perform interactive terminal operations or start background work.
+The `profile` file must remain safe for a POSIX shell to source during login. It
+must not print output, configure a prompt, define interactive conveniences,
+perform terminal operations or start background work.
 
-Interactive shells should source `interactive.sh` from their own RC file. The
-login profile deliberately does not source it, because login profiles may also
-run in non-interactive sessions.
-
-Shell-specific prompt, history, completion and initialization belongs in the
-corresponding shell repository, currently `bash`. User services and timers
-belong in the separate `systemd` repository.
+Aliases, interactive functions, reminders, command catalogues, completion,
+history and prompt configuration belong to the relevant shell repository. User
+services and timers belong in the separate `systemd` repository.
 
 ## Files
 
-- `profile`: portable login environment and PATH construction.
-- `interactive.sh`: POSIX loader and manually curated alias reminder.
-- `aliases.sh`: common POSIX interactive aliases and helper functions.
-- `commands.sh`: command-catalogue display and validation functions.
-- `hosts.sh`: SSH destination listing function.
-- `platform/arch.sh`: Arch Linux applications, GNU options and Pacman/systemd
-  integration, written with POSIX shell syntax.
-- `commands.tsv`: curated command descriptions and reminder visibility.
-- `commands.README.md`: format and maintenance instructions for `commands.tsv`.
-- `memory.tsv`: selectively curated shell-memory questions and answers.
-- `memory.README.md`: format, scope and daily-selection behavior for the memory
-  question bank.
+- `profile`: portable login environment and `PATH` construction.
 - `install.sh`: installs the `~/.profile` symlink.
 
-## Alias portability
-
-The shared interactive files use POSIX shell syntax. Bash-only compatibility
-aliases—including names that are deliberately being retired—live in the Bash
-repository's `aliases.bash` instead.
-
-External commands remain platform-specific by design: aliases for Pacman,
-systemd, GNU utilities and local applications target this Arch Linux setup.
-Syntax portability does not imply operating-system portability.
-
-The Arch `update` function runs the local `archnews_wrap` Pacman workflow and,
-after a successful upgrade, requests a non-blocking refresh from the systemd
-user service `package-status-refresh.service`.
+Interactive Bash uses this environment through the conventional `~/.profile`
+interface. This repository does not reference or load the Bash repository.
