-## Source Files
-
-The `librefonts/novaslim` repo contains:
-- `src/NovaSlim.sfd` — FontForge source file (primary editable source)
-- `NovaSlim.ttf.*.ttx` — TTX-decomposed TTF tables (generated artifact)
-- `src/VERSIONS.txt`
-- `METADATA.json`, `FONTLOG.txt`, `OFL.txt`, `DESCRIPTION.en_us.html`

 ## Build System
 
-The repo uses the legacy `fontbakery-build.py` pipeline (circa 2014), driven by a `.travis.yml` CI config. This system is obsolete. No `Makefile` or modern build script is present.
-
-## config.yaml Status
-
-No `config.yaml` exists in the `librefonts/novaslim` repo or in `ofl/novaslim/` in google/fonts. One would need to be created for any rebuild attempt.

 ## Notes
 
 - The Google Fonts binary (`NovaSlim.ttf`) corresponds to version 2.000 (2011).
 - The designer merged Nova Slim into Nova Round Slim in v3.x (2020), ending it as a standalone family. Per the wmk69/Nova FONTLOG v3.0.0: "Nova Slim is now Nova Round Slim, because I did slim versions of other fonts."
-- The `librefonts/novaslim` repo is the only available source for the v2.000 design.
+- The librefonts mirror and googlefontdirectory-hg are the only available sources for the v2.000 design.
 - Designer: Wojciech Kalinowski (wmk69), wmk69@o2.pl.
-- Confidence in source identification: **High** — the `librefonts` repo is the known Google Fonts upstream mirror and the commit matches what was previously recorded.
+- Confidence in source identification: **High** — the SFD source in googlefontdirectory-hg matches the librefonts mirror and the Google Fonts binary.
