NNNN: Short decision title (the no)

August 20, 2026 · View on GitHub

  • Status: accepted
  • Date: YYYY-MM-DD

Context

What proposal or situation forced the decision. A few sentences on the system state and constraints, with links to code or docs. Write this after the decision is made — not as a design brief for a PR.

Decision

What was decided, in one or two sentences. The usual record is a product-shaped no (we will not build X). Name the existing primitive that covers the need.

Consequences

What stays simple, what gets harder, and the revisit-if — the concrete condition that would reopen this. Half a page is enough.

Do not use this template for a layout or UI tweak, a library pick the code already encodes, or because a PR shipped.
