Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
This directory records every significant architectural decision made in the design and implementation of CORE. Each record is immutable once written — if a decision is superseded, a new ADR is created that references and replaces it. Old ADRs are never deleted or edited.
Format
docs/decisions/ADR-NNNN-short-title.md ← formal architectural decisions
docs/decisions/SESSION-YYYY-MM-DD.md ← timestamped working session logs
ADRs record decisions. Session logs record the reasoning process, open questions, and implementation details discovered during active development. Both are permanent record.
