# 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.
