docs: align wire-spec and mark implemented vs proposed
Keep the 45-byte pose frame consistent across docs, simulator, and
prototype, clarify MinIO is not peer sync, and state clearly that the
repo is a from-scratch platform sketch with options rather than mandates.

Architecture Decision Records

This directory records the significant decisions behind Swarm House, in the order they were made. Each record is immutable once Accepted — a later decision that changes course gets a new number and supersedes the old one rather than editing it.

ADR vs ASR

Kind What it captures Where it lives
ADR (Architecture Decision Record) A point-in-time decision for this repository, with the options considered and their consequences Here, in docs/adr/
ASR (Architecture Standard Record) A standing, cross-repository policy every project must obey (Go-first, secrets, layout) The ecosystem inventar repo, not here

The rules in ../../AGENTS.md are this repo's local standing constraints; anything ecosystem-wide belongs in inventar as an ASR. Design decisions specific to the platform are ADRs and belong here.

Index

ADR Decision Status
ADR-0001 No swarm-wide orchestrator; coordinate through data Accepted
ADR-0002 One storage format on every tier — Parquet + DuckDB, Hive layout Accepted
ADR-0003 Sync derived state only; raw telemetry stays local Accepted
ADR-0004 Read-only SQL-over-SSH as the peer query contract; no debug API Accepted
ADR-0005 WireGuard beneath SSH for the mesh transport Accepted
ADR-0006 IaC split: Ansible hosts, Terraform ground, Flux ground-only, fleet manifest for drones Accepted
ADR-0007 Run the simulator image as a non-root user Accepted
ADR-0008 Shared var/t1 / var/t3 runtime paths; state out of Git Accepted
ADR-0009 Bound observability lake scans to a flight window and cache Accepted

Writing a new ADR

  1. Copy TEMPLATE.md to ADR-NNNN-short-slug.md (next free number).
  2. Fill in Context, Options (if more than one was real), Decision, Consequences.
  3. Add a row to the index above.
  4. Cross-link the ADR from the design doc it affects (and vice versa).

Keep the tone laconic: state the decision and why, skip the narrative.
