Architecture decision records

ADRs record the non-obvious decisions: choices where reasonable people would disagree, where the alternative is documented in ARCHITECTURE.md as a fallback, or where a future maintainer might want to revisit the trade-off.

We use Michael Nygard’s format: Title · Status · Context · Decision · Consequences.

Section titled “Index”

Phase F lands the first set of ADRs:

  • 0001 — Why fail-closed Cerbos
  • 0002 — Why Talos Linux
  • 0003 — Why split the TS SDK into multiple packages
  • 0004 — Why Temporal is opt-in, not default
  • 0005 — Why MIT (not AGPL/Apache) — invitation, not stance
  • 0006 — Why chi over Fiber
  • 0007 — Why SigNoz over LGTM as default
  • 0008 — Why Authentik over the Ory three-piece stack

Until they’re written, the rationale lives inline in the architecture overview §8 (committed stack) and PROJECT.md §9 (risk register on stack choices).
