28 · ADRs
Canonical architecture decisions — AI Workbench supersedes Twin Workbench, three continuities, Spine Agents, Discovery/Activation boundary, MCP routing, and what each decision supersedes.
Decision Record
Each ADR states what was decided, why, what it supersedes, and implementation impact.
| ADR | Decision | Supersedes |
|---|---|---|
| ADR-001 | AI Workbench supersedes Twin Workbench. Twin is the human-facing AI coworker inside the AI Workbench; the Workbench is the operating environment. | Twin Workbench as a separate workbench |
| ADR-002 | Three continuity scopes. Organizational Memory (THE memory, in the Spine), Personal Contextual Memory, AI Continuity Memory. Latter two serve the first. | Flat "Spine Fabric memory" view |
| ADR-003 | Personal Contextual Memory boundary. Human working continuity, private unless deliberately shared/promoted. Not silent organizational truth. | Coworker / shared-everything continuity |
| ADR-004 | AI Continuity persistence — semantic defined, substrate decision open. See G-10 in Codebase Alignment. | Unscoped AI memory store |
| ADR-005 | Spine Agents as governed organizational actors. Identity, role, authority, continuity, capability access, evidence. | Agent-as-tool-wrapper |
| ADR-006 | Discovery vs Activation separation. Discovery = what exists; Activation = what becomes active for tenant/runtime/context. | Single discovery-as-activation |
| ADR-007 | MCP Pool routing boundary. MCP is governed and routed via Pool to the Capability Fabric → Governance → Hermes path; not an open public MCP. | Unrestricted MCP |
| ADR-008 | No monolithic AI Orchestrator. Cognition, model routing, agent runtime, capability resolution, authority, and execution are separated. | Central orchestrator decides authority |
| ADR-009 | Verified closure. Provider success is not completion; close on verify → reconcile → governed Spine update → rehydration. | Close-on-200 |
ADRs never redefine the Founder Canon. They record how the Canon is interpreted into contracts and code.
