The 751-line architecture.md violated the SDD process modular documentation target (~500 lines). It also had duplicate TaskGraph class definitions (one monolith, one decomposed) that directly contradicted each other, and embedded consumer-specific tool dispatch mappings that belong in downstream projects. Changes: - Split into 8 focused documents + 7 ADR records + redirect page - Removed the monolithic TaskGraph class (kept only decomposed version) - Moved CLI→plugin dispatch mapping out (belongs in plugin architecture) - Extracted implementation code (frontmatter splitter, findCycles, DAG propagation) into WHAT/WHY descriptions per architect role spec - Added proper ADR format for all resolved design decisions - Fixed review issues: C_fail mapping, DuplicateNodeError/DuplicateEdgeError types, ValidationError/GraphValidationError definitions, mutation error handling contract, enum naming convention, validation timing clarification

# ADR-005: No depth-escalation heuristic in v1
|
|
|
|
**Status**: Accepted
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
In the DAG-propagation model, each hop compounds another `<1.0` factor. This implicitly captures depth effects — deeper chains have more compounding. An explicit depth-escalation heuristic (increasing risk at deeper chain levels) would add another multiplicative penalty on top.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
**Defer depth-escalation to v2.** The multiplicative propagation model already captures depth effects implicitly. Adding an explicit depth heuristic would double-count the depth effect until we have empirical calibration data from actual task outcomes.
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
### Positive
|
|
- No double-counting of depth effects
|
|
- Simpler model to explain, implement, and debug
|
|
- Architecture supports future depth-escalation via per-edge `qualityDegradation` adjustments or `risk` categorical escalation without API changes
|
|
|
|
### Negative
|
|
- May underestimate cost for very deep dependency chains where risk genuinely escalates with depth
|
|
- The model treats all "hops" as equivalent — a 5-hop chain where each step is moderate risk may actually be worse than the model predicts
|
|
|
|
### Future
|
|
|
|
If empirical data from actual task outcomes shows that depth-escalation is needed, it can be added without API changes — either by adjusting `qualityDegradation` per depth, or by escalating the `risk` categorical. This is a calibration question, not an architecture question. |
