Tracking issue for the ADRs landed in #22, split off from #1 so the docs work has
its own home (as asked at the end of #22).

Why

#22 records the series' decisions as ADRs inline in architecture.md. Two open
questions came up there that outlive that PR:

  1. Where do ADRs live:inline in architecture.md (as now) or a dedicated
    docs/adr/ tree, one file per record?
  2. What tracks them: #1 is broad; a small dedicated docs issue (this one)
    keeps ADR upkeep visible without overloading #1.

Decision (for now)

Keep ADRs inline in architecture.md. The reasoning lives next to the
architecture prose, the count is low, and one file is easy to review. Revisit a
docs/adr/ split if/when the records outgrow a single readable section.

Scope

  • Merge #22 (inline ADRs).
  • New decisions append a short ADR (context / decision / consequence),
    newest on top.
  • Re-open the inline-vs-docs/adr/ question only if the section gets unwieldy.

Closes nothing on its own, this is the home for ADR follow-ups.
