Decision records
adrkit dogfoods its own format: every decision in this project is a typed
decision record in docs/adr/.
These pages are generated from those source files — the records themselves are
never edited to fit this site.
| # | Decision | Status |

| 0006 | License Apache-2.0 with a DCO and develop in a single monorepo | accepted |
| 0007 | Isolate integrations as optional adapters and build only against public surfaces | accepted |
| 0008 | Migrate MADR corpora in place and treat all other imports as one-way with a re-import diff | accepted |
| 0009 | Pin affects resolution semantics and bind entity refs to pluggable catalogs | accepted |

| 0013 | Reconcile adapter isolation and catalog binding with the offline snapshot generator | accepted |
| 0014 | Stage phase-landing evidence across a three-rung validation ladder | accepted |
| 0015 | Validate descriptors against Backstage field formats before canonicalizing identity | accepted |
| 0016 | Require every check to be observed failing before it counts as coverage | accepted |

| 0018 | Adopt MCP SDK v2 and serve protocol revision 2026-07-28 dual-era | accepted |
| 0019 | Ship the Spec Kit extension, treating the spike’s no-go as a measurement artifact | accepted |
| 0020 | Rescope SC-010 and authorize work toward the Backstage catalog adapter | accepted |
| 0021 | Resolve inbound source annotations without changing the schema | superseded |
| 0022 | Scan inbound markers in check and CI without giving them exit-code authority | accepted |
| 0023 | Read a marker only where the format hides it: fences and markdown prose | accepted |
| 0024 | Report the measured scan extent, not the window constant | accepted |
| 0025 | Ship badges as recipes over existing output, not a new CLI surface | accepted |
| 0026 | Identify the CI comment by the strongest author evidence the token allows | accepted |
| 0027 | Ratify the deterministic evaluator and bind calibration reporting to the first probabilistic pass | accepted |
| 0028 | Ship decision memory as a portable agent plugin, and omit the MCP wiring hosts cannot honor | accepted |
