Recorded design decisions

Every architecture decision record in docs/adr/, with the status each file carries today. The table below is read from the directory at build time, not hand-maintained, so it can’t fall behind whatever files actually exist there.

An accepted record describes an agreed direction — not necessarily what’s built yet. Read a decision alongside the actual code and tests to see which parts of it are available now; “Accepted” means the project has committed to that direction, not that every part of it has shipped.

A status can lag behind the code, and this index doesn’t correct for that. The Status column is rendered exactly as the file states it, including a record that still reads “Proposed” on a decision everyone already treats as settled, or that mentions work as deferred after the deferred part has since landed. When the status word and what you observe in the running system disagree, the code is the more current answer; a stale status is worth fixing in the ADR file itself, not worked around here.

Each row links the ADR file at the commit this page was checked against, so the status you read here is the status that file carried at that commit. Statuses are rendered exactly as the file states them — an ADR that says “Proposed” is listed as Proposed even where the decision is being followed, because the file is the record.
