ADR-NNNN: <Title>

Status

Proposed

Context

What forces the decision? The problem, the constraints, the relevant North Star rules (Σ₀ feature gate, External Reality Rule, one-loop / four-objects), and any prior art in the repo. State the loop stage this touches (Observe / Remember / Reason / Act / Verify / Converge). Keep it factual — link to real file:line, commits, or PRs as evidence.

Decision

The change we are making, stated in active voice: "We will …". One decision per ADR.

Consequences

What becomes easier and what becomes harder once this is in effect. Include the costs and the debt we are knowingly taking on — name it, don't paper over it.

• Positive:
• Negative / trade-offs:
• Follow-ups: <issues/ADRs this spawns>

Alternatives considered

Each option and why it was rejected. "Do nothing" is a valid alternative — record why it wasn't enough.
