-The `v3/` directory name is misleading - most code here is actively used by the current V2 engine. Only the specific files below are legacy V1-only code.
+The v3 engine (RunEngineVersion `V1`: MarQS queue + Graphile worker) is end-of-life and its execution code has been removed from the webapp. The `app/v3/` directory name is historical: everything under it now serves the current V2 engine (`@internal/run-engine` + `@trigger.dev/redis-worker`).
 
-## V1-Only Files - Never Modify
+There is no `V1` execution path anymore. If you find a `RunEngineVersion` branch, the `V1` arm should only reject or finalize gracefully (for example, mark a historical run cancelled in the DB), never run V1 work. Do not reintroduce MarQS, the graphile worker, or the v3 socket.io namespaces.

-- `services/triggerTaskV1.server.ts` (deprecated V1 task triggering)
-- `services/cancelTaskRunV1.server.ts` (deprecated V1 cancellation)

-- `sharedSocketConnection.ts` (V1 shared queue socket using SharedQueueConsumer)
+## The deprecation boundary (keep this)
 
-## V1/V2 Branching Pattern
+Requests from clients still on v3 (old SDK/CLI) or historical V1 runs must return a clean 4xx, never a 5xx. The boundary lives in:
 
-Some services act as routers that branch on `RunEngineVersion`:
-- `services/cancelTaskRun.server.ts` - calls V1 service or `engine.cancelRun()` for V2
-- `services/batchTriggerV3.server.ts` - uses marqs for V1 path, run-engine for V2
+- `engineDeprecation.server.ts` - the `V3_TRIGGER_DEPRECATION_MESSAGE` / `V3_DEV_DEPRECATION_MESSAGE` / `V3_MIGRATION_URL` upgrade messages.
+- `engineVersion.server.ts` - `determineEngineVersion()` still detects a V1 project/run so callers can reject it.
+- `services/triggerTask.server.ts`, `services/cancelTaskRun.server.ts`, `services/rescheduleTaskRun.server.ts` - the `V1` arm rejects or finalizes gracefully instead of executing.
+- `services/initializeDeployment.server.ts` - the `DEPRECATE_V3_CLI_DEPLOYS_ENABLED`-gated v3 CLI deploy rejection.
+- `handleWebsockets.server.ts` - the legacy `trigger dev` websocket closes with the upgrade message.
 
-When editing these shared services, only modify V2 code paths.
