# Architecture Drafts

## Status

Draft / exploratory.

This directory contains architecture drafts and research notes. They may be high
value design inputs, but they are not accepted architecture unless a live ARD or
architecture overview explicitly adopts the decision.

## Reading Rule

- Use these files for rationale, tradeoff history, and future architecture inputs.
- Do not treat unresolved draft questions as current implementation requirements.
- Do not update historical terminology just to match current package names.
- When a draft conflicts with current code/tests or accepted ARDs, prefer the
  live source.

Current live references:

- [Architecture Overview](../architecture-overview.md)
- [Subsystems](../subsystem.md)
- [Coding Product Boundaries](../coding/ARD-001-coding-product-boundaries.md)
- [RPC Mode Transitional Channel Positioning](../coding/ARD-005-rpc-mode-transitional-channel-positioning.md)
- [TUI Method Integration Constraints](../coding/ARD-006-tui-method-integration-constraints.md)
