glm-5.2 1baa619ce9 docs(arch): decompose open-questions.md into per-OQ files under questions/
The monolithic open-questions.md (1310 lines, 47 OQs) was large enough to be
unmanageable, with high size variance (OQ-42 at 220 lines next to OQ-06 at 8).
Decomposed into one file per OQ under docs/architecture/questions/ (NNN-slug.md,
mirroring the ADR convention), with open-questions.md retained as the index:
theme-grouped tables plus a cross-theme Deferred/Blocked section that surfaces
the 6 deferred OQs with their Blocked-on conditions inline (the safe-exit
visibility surface). Per-OQ content moved verbatim; all 62 inbound links stay
valid (none used anchors). README's curated OQ summary dropped (now redundant
with the index tables).

Also seeds tasks/architecture/ with this task plus two follow-ups found during
the decompose: OQ-09/10 missing structured Blocked-on fields, and the
tasks/architecture/ blocker-task half of the Safe Exit protocol being
unenforced.

Description

The single docs/architecture/open-questions.md file had grown to 1310 lines across 47 OQs — large enough to be unmanageable, with high size variance (OQ-42 at 220 lines next to OQ-06 at 8 lines). Decomposed into one file per OQ under docs/architecture/questions/ (NNN-slug.md, mirroring the ADR convention), with open-questions.md retained as the index (theme-grouped tables + a cross-theme "Deferred / Blocked" section for safe-exit visibility).

What changed

  • Created docs/architecture/questions/ with 47 files (001-...md through 047-...md), content moved verbatim from the old monolithic file (heading rewritten from ### OQ-NN to # OQ-NN for standalone files).
  • Rewrote docs/architecture/open-questions.md as the index:
    • Status-values / door-type definitions preserved
    • 15 theme sections, each with a table: | OQ | Title | Status | Door | Pri |
    • A "Deferred / Blocked" cross-theme section surfacing the 6 deferred OQs with their Blocked on: conditions inline (the safe-exit visibility surface)
  • Updated docs/architecture/README.md: dropped the 65-line curated OQ summary section (replaced by the index tables), kept the doc-table row pointing at open-questions.md.
  • Original monolithic file preserved at /tmp/opencode/open-questions.old.md for verification.

Verification

  • python3 /tmp/opencode/verify_oqs.py confirms all 47 per-OQ files match the original content byte-for-byte (modulo the ### OQ → # OQ heading rewrite).
  • All 62 inbound links to open-questions.md across ~30 files remain valid (none used #oq-NN anchors — they all point at the bare filename, which is unchanged).

Out of scope

  • Re-resolving or editing any OQ content — verbatim move only.
  • Fixing OQ-09/OQ-10's missing Blocked on: field — tracked as architecture/oq-09-10-blocking-conditions.
  • Establishing the tasks/architecture/ blocker-task convention — tracked as architecture/safe-exit-blocker-task-mechanism.
  • Touching reviews/research docs that cite open-questions.md by line number (those citations are already stale; reviews are historical artifacts).
