Key Architectural Decisions

Id	Decision	Status	Rationale
aw-ideas-to-life-cas-2026-05-31-001	Establish Architecture Work Registry as authoritative architectural backlog	accepted	AEM regeneration currently discards manually introduced planning information; persistence in source artifacts is required.

System Evolution

The system is transitioning from a template-ready state to an operationally governed Architecture Intelligence Platform. Key evolutions include the establishment of the Architecture Work Registry as the authoritative planning source, the introduction of ReasoningOps and GovernanceOps for continuous alignment, and the formalization of discovery-to-alignment lifecycles. Orchestration is moving toward automated CI validation and code intelligence to detect and prevent architectural drift.

Intent & Direction

Future intent focuses on end-to-end traceability from business requirements to runtime behavior. The roadmap includes integrating external enterprise architecture ecosystems, developing a code intelligence layer for deep structural understanding, and providing interactive architecture intelligence maps. The goal is to align intended architecture (AID) with implementation reality (Code) through a continuous feedback loop.
