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-022: Composite foreign keys for node references
## Status
Accepted
## Context
Edges reference source and target nodes. A simple `sourceNodeId` FK would work but doesn't capture the composite key model.
## Decision
Edges reference nodes via composite FKs: `(graphId, sourceNodeKey) → (nodes.graphId, nodes.key)`. This ensures referential integrity within a graph and cascades node deletions to connected edges.
## Consequences
- Deleting a node cascades to all its edges
- Edges cannot reference nodes in a different graph
- Composite FKs match the metagraph identity model `(graphId, key)`
