glm-5.1 67ccfbf928 docs: restructure architecture docs to flowgraph pattern
- Create decisions/ directory with 32 numbered ADRs (ADR-001 through ADR-032)
  extracted from inline DD/SD/ED/SE decision sections
- Create open-questions.md with 16 OQs organized by theme, cross-referenced
  to ADRs, with status tracking (resolved/open)
- Create README.md as architecture index with doc table, ADR table, and
  lifecycle status definitions (draft/reviewed/stable/deprecated)
- Replace inline decision sections in all spec docs with ADR reference tables
- Replace inline open questions with OQ references to centralized tracker
- Update frontmatter: metagraph-module.md, overview.md, sqlite-host.md → reviewed;
  schema-evolution.md and encrypted-data.md remain draft
- DD1-DD10 → ADR-009 through ADR-018
- D1-D8 → ADR-001 through ADR-008
- SD1-SD5 → ADR-019 through ADR-023 (SD5 folded into ADR-006/008)
- ED1-ED5 → ADR-023 through ADR-027
- SE1-SE5 → ADR-028 through ADR-032

ADR-016: Naming convention for Module entries

Status

Accepted

Context

Module entries need a way to distinguish their role (config, node type, edge type, constraint) so that moduleToDbSchema() can map them to the correct DB tables. Two approaches: explicit metadata/decorators on entries, or naming convention with role-distinguishing suffixes.

Decision

Module entries use role-distinguishing suffixes: *Node for node types, *Edge for edge types, Config for graph configuration, *EdgeConstraints for edge endpoint constraints, and bare names or *Enum for shared types. moduleToDbSchema() uses this convention to map entries to DB tables.

Explicit metadata/decorators (e.g., { kind: "nodeType", name: "call", schema: ... }) were considered but rejected — they add boilerplate without adding information. The suffix convention is simpler and sufficient for the expected Module size (520 entries).

Consequences

  • moduleToDbSchema() throws on entries that don't match any recognized suffix
  • Bare names without a suffix are treated as shared types (embedded in other entries' schemas), not as independent DB rows
  • *EdgeConstraints entries must have an edgeType field matching an *Edge entry name
