System Evolution

The system has successfully transitioned from manual documentation to a 'Runner-Workflow-KnowledgeProvider' execution model. The 'Architecture Work Registry' is now the authoritative backlog, preventing planning loss. Persistence lag is the current primary system bottleneck, where implementation 'DONE' states lack corresponding 'ACCEPTED' ADRs. Introduction of a 'Governance Action Framework' is the next logical step to automate decision transitions.

Intent & Direction

CAS is aligning with the vision of an 'Architecture Intelligence Platform'. Strategic focus is shifting toward 'Business Intent Integration' to trace code reality back to requirements. Forward-looking capabilities include an 'Architecture Knowledge Graph' for multi-hop lineage and a 'Continuous Architecture Governance Runtime' to automate the detect-analyse-execute cycle, reducing the current 15:1 governance velocity bottleneck.
