Decisions Must Be Persisted
Rule
All architectural decisions must be persisted as structured decision records (ADR) before being reflected in AEM or other artefacts.
Rationale
Ensures traceability, prevents loss of context, and establishes a single source of truth for architectural decisions.
Applies To
- promotion-to-decision-records
- AEM generator
Example
A pattern promotion creates an ADR file under knowledge/global/decisions before appearing in AEM.
