System Evolution
The system is evolving from isolated project-level documentation to a unified 'Architecture Intelligence Platform'. Core orchestration (CAS Runner) and knowledge abstraction (Knowledge Provider) are now decoupled. The Architecture Work Registry has been accepted as the authoritative planning layer, resolving state-loss issues during regeneration. Shift toward runtime-native governance (Detect-Analyse-Execute) is active.
Intent & Direction
Current strategic intent focuses on 'Connecting Business Intent to Code Reality'. This includes end-to-end traceability from strategic objectives (Business Intent) to implementation (Code Intelligence). The future roadmap prioritizes a Portfolio Intelligence capability and an Architecture Knowledge Graph to support multi-hop lineage and cross-project impact analysis.

Knowledge System Health
pattern_coverage: medium governance_backlog: 25 rule_coverage: high alignment_status: partially_aligned velocity_ratio: '15:1' health_findings: - Significant backlog pressure (22 unprogressed proposals) - 'Persistence lag: core components (DONE) lack accepted ADRs' - Intent definition gap prevents full business-to-code traceability
