Add docs/adr/ with a chronological ADR set reconstructed from the project history (no orchestrator, one storage format, derived-state sync, SQL-over-SSH contract, WireGuard beneath SSH, IaC boundaries, non-root image, runtime data paths, bounded lake scans), an index README, and a template. Distinguish repo-local ADRs from ecosystem-wide ASRs. Expand AGENTS.md with a decision-records section and a runtime/operations guide (service URLs, rebuild workflow, CPU budget knobs). Reference the ADRs from README, CONTRIBUTING, and the affected design docs, and add an open question for T1 partition pruning.

# ADR-0003: Sync derived state only; raw telemetry stays local
|

## Status

|
Accepted (2026-07-08)

|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
Each drone produces high-rate sensor telemetry and on-board video detections —
|
|
far more than the mesh can carry. But peers only need enough to coordinate
|
|
flight: where everyone is, where they are heading, what was detected. Pushing
|
|
raw feeds across the air would saturate the radio and drain batteries for data
|
|
nobody reads in flight.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
Only **derived state** crosses the air — position, attitude, detections — as
|
|
small pub/sub broadcasts (~5 Hz). **Raw telemetry stays on local NVMe** until
|
|
the drone lands, then travels to the warehouse during offload
|
|
([ADR-0002](ADR-0002-one-storage-format.md)). The design is **event-driven**:
|
|
new derived data triggers downstream action through hooks; nothing polls asking
|
|
"anything new yet?".
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
- Air bandwidth scales with the number of peers and the broadcast rate, not
|
|
with sensor resolution.
|
|
- The warehouse is the only place with the full picture; in-flight decisions use
|
|
the local window plus peer broadcasts.
|
|
- Broadcast staleness per peer becomes a first-class health signal
|
|
([`../07-observability.md`](../07-observability.md)).
|
|
- What syncs and what does not is specified in
|
|
[`../04-swarm-sync.md`](../04-swarm-sync.md).
