- Add Safe Exit section to architect spec: when a decision genuinely can't
be made, mark OQ as deferred(scope) with concrete blocking condition,
create blocker task, move on
- Add anti-patterns #10-#11 covering hedging synonyms (feature extension,
additive, not a v1 blocker, for now, resolved with escape hatch)
- Add hedging audit to architect self-review checklist
- Clean hedging language from resolved OQs (OQ-04, OQ-13, OQ-14, OQ-16)
- Reclassify OQ-32 and OQ-41 as deferred(scope) with blocking conditions
- Add deferred(scope) status to OQ format in sdd_process.md
ADR-009, open-questions.md, and the architect agent spec all had the same
conflation: 'two-way door' was phrased as 'can be decided during
implementation,' which reads as 'defer the decision.' That's not what it
means. A two-way door is a decision you make now and can revert later if
wrong — it's about reversal cost, not urgency.
ADR-009: add §'What this framework is NOT' — explicitly separates door
type (reversal cost) from deferral (scope management). State that
architecture decisions are the architect's regardless of door type.
Reword the two-way-door process from 'can be decided during
implementation' to 'pick the simplest option that works, implement it,
revert if needed.'
open-questions.md: reword the header to clarify door type describes
reversal cost, not urgency. Add 'Door type is separate from whether a
decision is made.'
architect.md: add Key Principle #8 (decisions are made, not deferred),
a new 'Door Types and Decision Urgency' section, and two new anti-patterns
(#8: door type as deferral, #9: hedging language in resolved decisions).
