+# BUILD PR — Games Space Invaders Remove Next
+
+## Purpose
+Remove the temporary migration scaffold `games/SpaceInvaders_next/**` now that canonical `games/SpaceInvaders/**` is in place and validated.
+
+## Context
+- `games/SpaceInvaders/**` is the canonical running version
+- `games/SpaceInvaders_next/**` is now redundant migration scaffolding
+- preview restoration is NOT part of this PR
+
+## Single PR Purpose
+Delete `games/SpaceInvaders_next/**` and nothing else.
+
+## Scope (STRICT)
+- Delete all files and subfolders under:
+  `games/SpaceInvaders_next/**`
+- Remove the `games/SpaceInvaders_next/` folder when empty
+
+## Target Path (EXACT)
+- `games/SpaceInvaders_next/**`
+
+## Allowed Operations
+- delete files under `games/SpaceInvaders_next/**`
+- delete subfolders under `games/SpaceInvaders_next/**`
+- delete the top-level `games/SpaceInvaders_next/` folder after contents are removed
+
+## Explicit Non-Goals
+- DO NOT modify `games/SpaceInvaders/**`
+- DO NOT add or restore preview files
+- DO NOT modify engine/shared code
+- DO NOT change unrelated games
+- DO NOT perform any runtime fixes in this PR
+
+## Fail-Fast Conditions
+STOP with no changes if any of the following are true:
+- `games/SpaceInvaders_next/` does not exist
+- deletion would affect any path outside `games/SpaceInvaders_next/**`
+- any change to canonical `games/SpaceInvaders/**` is required
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- `games/SpaceInvaders_next/` is removed
+- `games/SpaceInvaders/**` remains unchanged
+- no unrelated paths are changed
+
+## Validation Steps
+1. Confirm `games/SpaceInvaders_next/` no longer exists
+2. Confirm `games/SpaceInvaders/**` still runs unchanged
+3. Confirm no unrelated files were modified
+
+## Output Requirement
+Codex must package:
+`<project folder>/tmp/BUILD_PR_GAMES_SPACE_INVADERS_REMOVE_NEXT_delta.zip`
