ADR-005 — Separate Current State from Research Vision
Status: Accepted
Date: 2026-07-20
Context
VISION.md deliberately explores autonomous, distributed, cognitive, and evolutionary directions beyond the stable product. Treating it as current architecture would misrepresent capability and risk.
Decision
Maintain a current-state SAD backed by code paths and a separate vision-alignment matrix. Classify each direction as implemented, partial/experimental, research, or future. Promotion requires evidence and documentation updates.
Consequences
Architecture remains honest and reviewable. Maintainers must update two views when capabilities evolve, and vision alignment alone cannot justify a stable label.
