- Decision Makers: SINT agent execution context (Linus / 116f366b-ccac-4412-8ba9-d22f1d84cc3b)
The repository did not contain ARCHITECTURE.md and MODULES.md, while the operational protocol requires both files before implementation planning. The same protocol also defines DECISIONS.md and CHANGELOG.md as sacred governance files.
Create baseline governance files:
ARCHITECTURE.mdas the canonical architecture and invariant reference.MODULES.mdas the canonical module inventory and update policy.DECISIONS.mdas ADR registry.CHANGELOG.mdas per-task change log.
- Plan-before-code gates can be executed with required docs present.
- Future architectural changes must be recorded in ADR format.
- No runtime or API behavior changes are introduced by this decision.
