Key Architectural Decisions
System Evolution
The system is transitioning from a template-ready governance substrate to an operational state. Initial discovery and ADR creation will establish the foundational CAS pipeline as the single source of truth. CI validation will enforce skill adherence, preventing architectural drift. The knowledge layer will be tailored to project constraints before scaling, aligning with deterministic derivation models.
Intent & Direction
Align the architecture knowledge system with actual project constraints through populated templates and enforced governance workflows. Establish a continuous lifecycle where ADRs, AEMs, and AIDs support future automation, visual alignment views, and deterministic pattern promotion.
