# Architecture Decision Records

Each ADR captures a single architectural decision: the context, the decision itself, the consequences, and the alternatives considered. ADRs are immutable once accepted. Superseded ADRs stay in this folder with a pointer to the newer ADR.

## Status definitions

- **PROPOSED**: drafted, awaiting decision
- **ACCEPTED**: decision is in effect
- **SUPERSEDED**: replaced by a later ADR (link forward)
- **DEPRECATED**: no longer in effect, no replacement
