How to read these
An architecture decision record captures one significant choice: the forces that demanded it, what was chosen, what that costs, and what else was on the table. Records are never rewritten; a later record supersedes an earlier one, so the history stays honest.
- RecordedThe reasoning is quoted from the repository's own planning documents, written when the decision was made.
- ReconstructedThe decision and its consequences describe what the code does; the context and alternatives are reconstructed from the design and the commit history.
Dates are commit dates from devforge-io/anvil. The repository is private, so hashes are given for the record rather than linked.
