Context​

What problem motivates this decision? What constraint is currently under-specified, ambiguous, or in conflict?

Considered Options​

Brief comparison of the realistic alternatives. List each, with the strongest argument for and against.

Decision​

The chosen option, stated in normative language. Quote the exact spec text that should change, where possible.

Consequences​

What does this commit the spec to? What follow-up work does it imply (impl changes, fixtures, deprecations)? What does it explicitly not commit to?

Status values​

  • proposed — under discussion; impl MAY anticipate but spec is not yet binding.
  • accepted — normative; impl and conformance corpus reflect it.
  • informational — non-normative documentation, audit, or process. Does not bind impl behavior.
  • superseded by ADR-NNNN — replaced (in whole or part) by a later decision. Both ADRs remain in the corpus for traceability.
  • rejected — considered and explicitly NOT adopted; kept for the historical record so the option does not get reproposed without new context.
