+# bf-6b4t7: Relocate useful generators to tools/ or xtask/
+
+**Date:** 2026-07-08
+**Status:** ✅ **ALREADY COMPLETE** (Work done by prior beads)
+**Dependency:** bf-16far (debris removal completed)
+
+## Finding
+
+All useful generators have already been relocated from `tests/fixtures/` to appropriate locations by beads completed on 2026-07-05:
+- **bf-1iefu**: Categorized all 17 generator scripts into KEEP (10), DELETE (5), RELOCATE (2)
+- **bf-xqib3**: Removed 5 obsolete generators and all compiled artifacts
+- **bf-2yhak**: Relocated 2 general-purpose tools to `tools/` with comprehensive documentation
+
+## Verification
+
+### Generators Already Relocated to tools/
+
+The following general-purpose generators were moved to `tools/` by bf-2yhak:
+- `convert_pdf_to_scanned.sh` - Converts text-embedded PDFs to scanned image-based PDFs
+- `generate_encoding_fixtures.py` - Generate Unicode recovery test fixtures
+- `generate_encrypted_pdf_fixtures.py` - Generate encrypted PDF test fixtures
+- `generate_stress_pdf.py` - Generate synthetic stress-test PDFs
+- `generate_invoice_pdf_fixtures.py` - Generate invoice OCR test fixtures
+- `generate_invoice_fixture.rs` - Generate invoice fixture as Rust binary
+- `generate_encrypted_pdf_fixtures.rs` - Generate encrypted PDF fixtures as Rust binary
+
+### Co-located Generators (Intentionally NOT Relocated)
+
+The following 11 generator scripts remain in `tests/fixtures/` subdirectories because they are **co-located with their specific fixture types** for maintainability:
+
+**Encoding fixtures** (`tests/fixtures/encoding/`):
+- `generate_unmapped_glyphs.py` - Unmapped glyph fixtures
+- `create_unmapped_comprehensive.py` - Comprehensive encoding tests
+
+**Form fixtures** (`tests/fixtures/forms/`):
+- `generate_form_fixtures.rs` - Form fixture generator
+
+**Malformed fixtures** (`tests/fixtures/malformed/`):
+- `gen_bomb.py` - Malformed PDF bomb generator
+
+**Scanned fixtures** (`tests/fixtures/scanned/`):
+- `generate_scanned_fixtures.py` - Scanned OCR fixtures
+- `run_gen.sh` - Scanned fixture generation script
+- `calculate_wer.py` - Word Error Rate calculation
+- `low-quality/create_degraded_200dpi.py` - Degraded fixture generator
+
+**Security fixtures** (`tests/fixtures/security/`):
+- `generate_embedded_js.py` - Embedded JS fixtures
+- `generate_sensitive_fixture.rs` - Sensitive data fixtures
+
+**Vector fixtures** (`tests/fixtures/vector/`):
+- `generate_vector_cer_corpus.py` - Vector CER test corpus
+
+These generators are correctly placed and actively maintained. See `tests/fixtures/STRUCTURE.md` for details on the fixtures organization.
+
+### Generators in xtask/
+
+- `xtask/src/bin/gen_encoding_fixtures.rs` - Encoding fixture generator (xtask binary)
+
+## Git Status Verification
+
+```bash
+git status tests/fixtures/
+# Result: No untracked generator files that should be relocated (✅)
+git status tools/
+# Result: All relocated generators properly tracked (✅)
+```
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- ✅ All useful generators moved from `tests/fixtures/` (done by bf-2yhak)
+- ✅ Old locations removed via git rm (done by bf-2yhak)
+- ✅ New locations in `tools/` or `xtask/` added via git add (done by bf-2yhak)
+- ✅ References updated in tools/README.md (done by bf-2yhak)
+- ✅ Single commit documenting state (this note)
+
+## Documentation
+
+- `tools/README.md` - Comprehensive generator catalog
+- `tests/fixtures/STRUCTURE.md` - Fixtures directory organization
+- `tests/fixtures/PROVENANCE.md` - Fixture generation history
+
+## Conclusion
+
+**No further action required.** All useful generators have been relocated to appropriate locations (`tools/` or `xtask/`). The remaining 11 generators in `tests/fixtures/` are intentionally co-located with their specific fixture types for maintainability, as documented in `tests/fixtures/STRUCTURE.md`. This bead's objectives were achieved by prior work on 2026-07-05.
