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-51: Container Create Options Surface
|
|
|
|
- **Origin**:
|
|
[crates/docker/docker-operations.md](crates/docker/docker-operations.md)
|
|
§"Out of scope for v1";
|
|
[crates/docker/docker-operations.md](crates/docker/docker-operations.md)
|
|
§"`docker/container/create`".
|
|
- **Status**: deferred(scope)
|
|
- **Door type**: Two-way
|
|
- **Priority**: medium
|
|
- **Impacts**: Blocks the full `docker/container/create` input schema —
|
|
v1 uses the high-frequency fields; the long tail (mounts, port
|
|
bindings, networks, volumes, capabilities) is deferred to the
|
|
implementation pass. Does not block the `create` operation itself
|
|
(ADR-060 §5 is decided); blocks the schema detail.
|
|
- **Blocked on**: v1 implementation. The v1 `create` input schema
|
|
accepts the common fields (image, command, env, labels, name) and
|
|
the full `CreateContainerOptions` surface (mounts, port bindings,
|
|
networks, volumes, capabilities, etc.) is deferred to the
|
|
implementation pass, where the input JSON Schema can be designed
|
|
against bollard's `Config` struct and tested against real create
|
|
calls. This is not an architectural decision (the `create` operation
|
|
is already decided — ADR-060 §5); it's a schema-detail decision
|
|
best made with the bollard types in hand.
|
|
- **Resolution**: Not yet decidable. bollard's `create_container`
|
|
takes a `Config` struct (`container.rs:296`) with ~40 fields
|
|
(`Image`, `Cmd`, `Env`, `Labels`, `HostConfig` with mounts/ports/
|
|
networks/etc.). The v1 input schema accepts the high-frequency
|
|
fields and omits the long tail; the full surface is a JSON Schema
|
|
design task (which fields are required, which are optional, how
|
|
`HostConfig` is nested, how the `alknet.*` labels merge with
|
|
caller labels). The deferral is to the implementation pass, not
|
|
past it — the schema is finalized when `register_docker_ops` is
|
|
written and tested. The `OperationSpec.input_schema` is the
|
|
one-way surface; its exact field set is a two-way-door refinement
|
|
within it.
