# Architecture Decision Record

## Purpose

Write a concise, durable record of a material technical decision so future contributors can understand the context, trade-offs, and consequences without reconstructing the discussion.

## Workflow

1. Confirm that a real architecture or technology decision is being made; do not create an ADR for routine implementation detail.
2. Assign a stable identifier and a short active-voice title.
3. Describe the context, constraints, decision drivers, and relevant stakeholders.
4. Record the chosen decision precisely, including the intended scope and status: proposed, accepted, deprecated, or superseded.
5. Compare meaningful alternatives and explain the evidence or trade-offs behind the choice.
6. State positive, negative, and neutral consequences, including migration or operational effects.
