ADR — Architecture Decision Record

Dated decision log capturing context, decision, and consequences — common in fp and product repos.

What it is

Markdown ADRs under docs/adr/ or architecture folders. Referenced in Platform handbook.

When people say this

When recording irreversible technical choices, Cockpit strangler paths, or platform contracts.

How it fits the ecosystem

Ember Log captures product decisions; ADR captures technical architecture decisions.

Typical usage in plans and chat

Large (L/XL) cross-cutting plans should call out whether a new ADR is required on merge.
