# Walkthrough — Public Asset Migration (BA003)

This walkthrough documents the successful public asset migration of all branding files to the `/public/assets/branding/` directory.

---

## 1. Migration Summary

The physical branding resources have been relocated to the web-accessible public directory:
* **Old Path (outside root):** `/assets/branding/`
* **New Path (inside root):** `/public/assets/branding/`

Since all views generate URLs using the environment-aware `asset()` helper function (e.g. `<?= asset('/assets/branding/logo/Primary-Logo-Dark-TransparentBG.png') ?>`), they dynamically resolve relative to the web server's DocumentRoot and subfolder prefixes, routing calls correctly to `public/assets/branding/`.
