Architecture Decision Records#

Lightweight records of load-bearing design decisions and their rationale. Each ADR captures one decision. Accepted text is not rewritten: corrections and extensions land as a dated amendment section at the bottom, flagged in the status line, so the original stays readable as the reasoning of its time — an amended passage may gain a pointer to the amendment, nothing more. Reversing or replacing a decision gets a new ADR that links back. Format follows scipp’s ADR convention.
