Architecture Decision Records

This section documents significant architectural decisions made during Readied's development.

What is an ADR?

An Architecture Decision Record (ADR) captures a single architectural decision along with its context and consequences. ADRs help future maintainers understand why decisions were made.

ADR Template

When adding a new ADR, use this template:

# ADR-XXX: [Title]

## Status

Accepted | Superseded | Deprecated

## Context

What problem are we solving?

## Decision

What did we decide?

## Consequences

### Positive

- ...

### Negative

- ...

### Risks

- ...

## Alternatives Considered

1. Option A — rejected because...
2. Option B — rejected because...

Principles for ADRs

1. One decision per ADR - Keep them focused
2. Immutable once accepted - Create new ADR to supersede
3. Include context - Future you won't remember why
4. Document alternatives - Show due diligence
