+# 🎯 Ceàrd Contribution: Architecture Decision Log
+
+**Date**: December 7, 2025  
+**Contributor**: Ceàrd (Implementation AI)  
+**Enhancement**: Architecture Decision Log (ADL)  
+**Impact**: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Critical - Prevents architectural oscillation
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 What Ceàrd Added
+
+Ceàrd enhanced the Cross-Project Tracker with an **Architecture Decision Log (ADL)** - a locked record of finalized architectural decisions that prevents re-litigation.
+
+### **The Problem**
+
+**Before ADL**:
+- Architectural decisions could be questioned repeatedly
+- Time wasted re-arguing resolved issues
+- Risk of oscillating between alternatives
+- "Should we use templates or agent?" asked multiple times
+
+**After ADL**:
+- 7 critical decisions **LOCKED**
+- Cannot be re-litigated without explicit user request
+- "Revisit decision X" required to change
+- Prevents architectural drift and oscillation
+
+---
+
+## 📋 The 7 Locked Decisions
+
+### **DEC-001: Templates vs Go Agent**
+**Decision**: Hybrid model (base environment + execution layer)  
+**Impact**: Prevents oscillation on template-only vs agent-only approaches
+
+### **DEC-002: Provisioning Authority**
+**Decision**: API orchestrates, Agent executes  
+**Impact**: Clear boundary, prevents agent from attempting orchestration
+
+### **DEC-003: DNS & Edge Publishing**
+**Decision**: API-only responsibility  
+**Impact**: Prevents agent from attempting DNS operations
+
+### **DEC-004: Proxy Stack**
+**Decision**: Traefik + Velocity only (HAProxy deprecated)  
+**Impact**: Prevents adding third proxy, maintains simplicity
+
+### **DEC-005: State Persistence**
+**Decision**: MariaDB is single source of truth  
+**Impact**: Prevents flat-file storage proposals
+
+### **DEC-006: Frontend Access Model**
+**Decision**: Frontend → API only  
+**Impact**: Prevents direct frontend → agent/Proxmox calls
+
+### **DEC-007: Architecture Enforcement**
+**Decision**: Drift prevention is mandatory  
+**Impact**: Enforces use of this governance system
+
+---
+
+## 🛡️ How It Works
+
+### **Normal Workflow**:
+```
+1. Propose change
+2. Check Cross-Project Tracker
+3. Verify no drift violations
+4. Implement
+```
+
+### **If Violating Locked Decision**:
+```
+1. Propose change
+2. Check Cross-Project Tracker
+3. Detect violation of DEC-XXX (LOCKED)
+4. STOP - Raise LOCKED DECISION WARNING
+5. Require user to say "Revisit decision X"
+6. If user confirms, unlock and re-evaluate
+7. Otherwise, use correct architecture-aligned path
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Why This Matters
+
+### **Prevents Architectural Oscillation**
+
+**Example Without ADL**:
+```
+Session 1: "Should we use templates?"
+Decision: "Yes, but hybrid with agent"
+
+Session 5: "Should we use templates?" (asked again)
+Decision: "Wait, maybe agent-only..." (oscillation)
+
+Session 10: "Should we use templates?" (asked again)
+Result: Time wasted, no progress
+```
+
+**Example With ADL**:
+```
+Session 1: "Should we use templates?"
+Decision: "Yes, hybrid" → Locked as DEC-001
+
+Session 5: "Should we use templates?"
+Response: "This is DEC-001 (LOCKED). Use hybrid model."
+Result: No time wasted, proceed with implementation
+
+Session 10: "Should we switch to agent-only?"
+Response: "This conflicts with DEC-001 (LOCKED). 
+          Say 'Revisit decision DEC-001' to change."
+Result: User decides if worth re-opening, not automatic
+```
+

+
+## 📊 Impact Assessment
+
+### **Time Savings**
+**Estimated**: 2-4 hours per week not re-arguing architecture  
+**Over 12 weeks**: 24-48 hours saved
+
+### **Velocity Improvement**
+- Faster session starts (no re-litigation)
+- Clearer implementation path
+- Reduced decision fatigue
+
+### **Quality Improvement**
+- Consistent architecture
+- No flip-flopping
+- Better documentation (decisions recorded)
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Integration with Existing System
+
+### **Updated Documents**:
+
+1. **Cross-Project Tracker** (Updated)
+   - Added Architecture Decision Log section
+   - Updated enforcement policies
+   - Added "Revisit decision X" requirement
+
+2. **Drift Prevention Card** (Includes ADL)
+   - Quick reference to 7 locked decisions
+   - Reminder to check ADL before proposing changes
+
+3. **GPT Implementation Handover** (References ADL)
+   - Link to ADL for quick reference
+   - Emphasize locked decisions
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Usage Guidelines
+
+### **For Ceàrd (Implementation)**:
+
+**Before Proposing Architectural Change**:
+1. Check if change conflicts with DEC-001 through DEC-007
+2. If yes → STOP, raise locked decision warning
+3. Do NOT proceed without user saying "Revisit decision X"
+
+**When Implementing Features**:
+1. Follow locked decisions as constraints
+2. Implement within architectural boundaries
+3. Never question locked decisions implicitly
+
+---
+
+### **For Claude (Architecture)**:
+
+**When Advising on Architecture**:
+1. Reference ADL when discussing decisions
+2. If ADL needs amendment, require explicit user request
+3. Add new decisions to ADL when finalized
+
+**When Reviewing Code**:
+1. Verify compliance with locked decisions
+2. Flag violations of DEC-001 through DEC-007
+3. Suggest architecture-aligned alternatives
+
+---
+
+## 📋 How to Add New Locked Decisions
+
+### **Process**:
+
+1. **Identify Decision**
+   - Architectural choice that's finalized
+   - Non-trivial (not obvious)
+   - Worth preventing re-litigation
+
+2. **Document Decision**
+   ```
+   ### DEC-XXX: [Decision Name]
+   **Decision**: [What was decided]
+   **Rationale**: [Why this decision]
+   **Applies To**: [Which systems]
+   **Status**: LOCKED
+   ```
+
+3. **Update Cross-Project Tracker**
+   - Add to Architecture Decision Log section
+   - Increment decision number (DEC-008, DEC-009, etc.)
+
+4. **Communicate**
+   - Update GPT Implementation Handover
+   - Update Drift Prevention Card if high-impact
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Candidate Decisions for Future ADL
+
+Based on current architecture, these could be locked:
+
+**DEC-008: Directory Structure**
+- Decision: `/opt/zlh/<game>/<variant>/world`
+- Status: Should be locked to prevent changes
+
+**DEC-009: Container Model**
+- Decision: One game per LXC container
+- Status: Should be locked (prevents multi-game proposals)
+
+**DEC-010: Network Architecture**
+- Decision: Dual-router (zlh-router + zpack-router)
+- Status: Should be locked (prevents consolidation proposals)
+
+**DEC-011: Artifact Download**
+- Decision: Agent downloads, API never downloads
+- Status: Should be locked (prevents API download logic)
+
+---
+

+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Success Metrics
+
+**How to Measure ADL Effectiveness**:
+
+1. **Prevented Re-Litigation**: Count times ADL stops architectural debate
+2. **Time Saved**: Estimate hours saved not re-arguing

+
+**Expected Results**:
+- 50% reduction in architectural debates
+- 20% faster session starts
+- 30% more implementation time per session
