Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)

This directory captures durable architecture decisions for Git Mind.

Use ADRs for decisions that are hard to reverse, cross-cut multiple subsystems, or define platform invariants.

ADR Index

ADR-0002 — Worktree Independence and Materialization Architecture

Status: Accepted Date: 2026-02-15

What it establishes

  • Git worktree state is not authoritative for Git Mind graph state.
  • Graph truth (WARP causal graph + provenance) is canonical.
  • Materialized artifacts are derived outputs, non-canonical by default.
  • Context-sensitive operations must be explicit (asOf, observer, trust).
  • Generated artifact hygiene requires defense-in-depth (not .gitignore alone).

Why it matters

Defines the core separation model: worktree-aware, never worktree-bound.

ADR-0003 — Graph-Native Content, Deterministic Materialization, and Workspace Bridge

Status: Accepted Date: 2026-02-15

What it adds

  • “Content-on-node” remains canonical, but editing must be file-native in UX.
  • SyncAdapter projected workspace is the default compatibility bridge.
  • FuseAdapter is optional advanced/performance mode.
  • Graph→editor invalidation/signaling is required infra.
  • Writeback is transactional, conflict-aware, deterministic, and receipt-backed.
  • Workspace path policy: editable entities vs read-only derived outputs.

Why it matters

Turns the separation model into an adoption-ready product path without breaking architecture laws.

What changed from ADR-0002 to ADR-0003

  1. From principle to execution:
    ADR-0002 defined boundaries; ADR-0003 defines how users actually work within them.

  2. Editing UX became first-class:
    The project now explicitly treats editing ergonomics as a top adoption risk.

  3. Bridge strategy finalized:
    Universal Sync Workspace Mode first, FUSE later for performance.

  4. Live update correctness added:
    Graph subscription + path invalidation are required to prevent stale editor state.

  5. Writeback semantics hardened:
    Base frontier/hash checks + explicit conflict paths + receipts.

ADR Authoring Guidelines

Create a new ADR when a decision is:

  • hard to reverse,
  • architecture-wide,
  • policy-defining,
  • or likely to be questioned later.

Recommended sections:

  1. Context
  2. Decision
  3. Alternatives considered
  4. Consequences
  5. Risks & mitigations
  6. Acceptance criteria
  7. Implementation impact

ADR Lifecycle

  • Proposed: Draft under discussion.
  • Accepted: Approved and active.
  • Superseded: Replaced by a newer ADR (link both ways).
  • Deprecated: No longer applied, retained for historical context.

ADR-0004 — Content Attachments Belong in git-warp

Status: Accepted Date: 2026-02-20

What it establishes

  • Content-on-node (CAS-backed blob attachment) is a git-warp responsibility, not git-mind.
  • git-warp should install git-cas and expose an API for attaching content-addressed blobs to nodes.
  • git-mind provides the CLI/UX layer (content set/show/edit) on top.
  • This aligns git-warp with Paper I's (S, α, β) formalism — nodes carrying Atom(p) payloads.

Why it matters

Prevents git-mind from duplicating CRDT, time-travel, observer, and provenance guarantees that already exist in the substrate. Makes the attachment primitive available to any git-warp consumer, not just git-mind.

Quick Contribution Rules

  • Keep ADRs concise but specific.
  • Avoid ambiguous wording (“usually”, “maybe”) in core invariants.
  • Include explicit consequences and operational impact.
  • Link milestone(s), contracts, and tooling gates affected by the decision.
