# decisions/

One entry per settled question about this pipeline. An entry names the claim, the evidence, the date,
and what it forbids or permits next.

No entry is a plan. `NEXT.md` holds the plan, `ROADMAP.md` holds the horizon, and a limitation that is
still live belongs in `caveats/`.

## Rules for this directory

* One file per topic, one `##` section per question, so the index can link an anchor.
* An entry cites a file and line, a commit, or a test. No citation means it is an opinion, and an
  opinion gets deleted rather than defended.
* **Closed** means acting on it is safe. **Open** means investigated and undecided. **Void** means the
  evidence turned out to be invalid and the claim must not be cited again.
* Rewrite an entry when something contradicts it, and say what changed.
