Address the root cause of rework-causing hedging: the architect was
put in a logical bind where it couldn't express justified uncertainty
('the pieces exist but the shape isn't clear yet'). The only options
were 'decide now' (premature) or 'deferred(scope)' (false — the
information isn't missing, it's un-synthesized). The agent picked
deferred(scope) with a circular blocking condition (OQ-64 blocked on
OQ-55, OQ-55 needs OQ-64) because there was no honest way to say 'I
can see the pieces but I can't see the shape.'
Changes to the architect role spec:
- Add deferred(unclear) state: the pieces exist but the composition
isn't clear; resolution requires investigation (work through
examples, POC), not waiting. Has an investigation target and an
impacts field.
- Add 'Impacts' field to the OQ format: what does this block
downstream? Be specific ('blocks the first hub deployment because
the hub dials workers' not 'blocks the hub crate'). The triage
signal that makes deferral urgency visible — the field that would
have made the AlknetClient circular hedge visible.
- Add circular-reasoning guard to self-review: 'check that your
blocking condition isn't a prerequisite of the thing you're
deferring.'
- Trim anti-patterns #9-#11 (hedging synonyms catalog, ~40 lines):
detection belongs in the reviewer, not the architect's self-review.
The architect is too close to its own reasoning to see its own
circular hedges.
- Trim door-types section (30→10 lines): keep the one-paragraph
summary, cut the elaboration.
Changes to the architecture-reviewer role spec:
- Add Decision Quality (F) category: false-deferral check
distinguishing three cases — (1) hedging on a resolved decision, (2)
false deferral / circular hedge (the blocking condition is a
prerequisite of the thing being deferred), (3) legitimate deferral.
- Add Impacts Field Coverage (G) category: check that unresolved OQs
have specific impacts fields.
- Note: the Decision Quality category is often the highest-value
check on poorly-defined projects — the architect cannot self-review
it (circular reasoning is invisible from inside the circle).
Retrofit existing OQs:
- Add Impacts field to all 16 unresolved OQs (10 deferred, 6 open).
- Update OQ-63 (TlsError shape) to reflect ADR-087's client-side
addition — the error type now covers both server and client
variants.
- Move OQ-65 (WebSocket carrying channels) to alknet-http theme
(done in prior commit; this commit adds its impacts field).
- Verified: no circular reasoning found in existing deferrals. The
AlknetClient hedge (OQ-64) was the circular one; it's already
resolved by ADR-087.

OQ-49: Image Build (buildkit) Scope
- Origin:
crates/docker/docker-operations.md
§"Out of scope for v1"; ADR-059
§3 (no
buildkitfeature). - Status: deferred(scope)
- Door type: Two-way
- Priority: low
- Impacts: None — current use cases pull pre-built images. Would
impact any use case that builds images via alknet rather than
operator-side
docker compose build. - Blocked on: a concrete use case for building images over the
call protocol. The two container use cases (disposable dev
containers, hosted services) pull pre-built images (
docker/image/pull) rather than building them. The reverse-proxy and other hosted services build viadocker compose build(operator-side), not via alknet. - Resolution: Not yet decidable. bollard's
build_image(image.rs:655) and thebuildkitfeature (which pulls tonic + bollard-buildkit-proto) are available but deferred. Build is a large feature (build context upload, layer caching, multi-stage, buildkit progress streaming) and is not needed for the current scope. When a use case forces it, the operation is aSubscription(progress events →call.responded, build complete →call.completed) and thebuildkitfeature is enabled inCargo.toml(two-way-door feature addition, per ADR-059). The v1 surface hasimage/pull+image/list+image/inspect;image/buildis added when needed. - Cross-references:
