Where should the tracking file for a user authentication refactoring goal named `user-auth-decoupling` be placed in the repository structure and what filename extension must it use?

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Use for complex refactoring where direct implementation causes cascading failures across multiple classes/modules.
Cycle: Set Goal > Experiment > Visualize prerequisites > Revert to working state.
Treat compilation/test failures as valuable information -- each failure reveals a prerequisite node in the dependency graph. Revert keeps codebase shippable at all times.
Commit immediately after each dependency discovery to preserve exploration history and enable interrupt/resume.
