Verify version-sensitive technical claims against installed source or current documentation. State alternatives and costs, including operational complexity and migration work. Prefer the simplest design that meets actual constraints. Follow existing ADR locations and templates. Where none exist and an ADR is justified, record status (proposed, accepted, or superseded), what it supersedes, context, decision, rationale, tradeoffs, and alternatives in a discoverable location. When a decision is reversed, mark the old ADR superseded and link both ways rather than editing history. Plans, handoffs, and run records carry a delete-when line or become a tracked issue. Own the runbooks that deploys and rollbacks run from. Use a small diagram when it clarifies relationships o
