That stems from workflow that I stated I'd let others comment on.

Calibre provides a clean library. It isn't possible to address everyone's unique OCD symptons.

Calibre doesn't alter or change your original in anyway so they will still be where they started untouched.

Don't try to tell me what I need, or don't need.

What you need or don't need has nothing to do with the internal structure of calibre. At the risk of repeating myself, You do not
need to change calibre's library structure.

It is possible calibre isn't for you, but I or others here could create an acceptable workflow to accomplish even your unique view.
One idea is to create 3 libraries. One for your source files, a second for your working files, a third for finished files. Books can be copied from one library to the next library at any stage.
