Tosumu Architectural Review Records

Architectural Review Records preserve unresolved questions, implementation or consumer pressure, evidence, alternatives, findings, dispositions, and reopening criteria. They sit between informal notes and binding ADRs.

           ADR

Open A Review When

  • ownership between storage core, relational layers, adapters, and consumers is unclear;
  • a file-format or compatibility change is proposed;
  • a new stable public contract or cross-layer dependency is proposed;
  • repeated implementation friction suggests an existing boundary is wrong;
  • corpus or independent-consumer evidence may reopen an accepted decision;
  • a proposal is deferred or rejected and its reasoning should remain durable.

Use AR-NNNN-short-title.md. Review numbering is independent from ADR numbering. Copy TEMPLATE.md and add the record to this index.
