Review of all ADR documents (001-007) and peripheral architecture docs identified 3 critical, 10 warning, and 7 suggestion issues. Addressed in this commit: - W-1: Add draft qualifier to ADR-002 reference to incremental exploration - W-2: Add Alternatives Considered section to ADR-001 - W-3: Add Document Lifecycle section to README.md (draft/stable/deprecated) - W-4: Clarify includeCompleted semantics (only 'completed' status triggers exclusion) - W-5: Document file I/O runtime constraints in frontmatter.md - W-6: Add ADR reference to architecture.md redirect - W-7: Verify CVE-2025-64718 (confirmed real, improved description) - W-9: Convert workspace-absolute paths to relative/monorepo references - S-7: Add future ADR-008 note to incremental-update-exploration.md Critical issues (C-1, C-2, C-3) and remaining warnings (W-8, W-10, S-4, S-5) were addressed by a parallel agent in a prior commit. All 16 review tasks created and resolved.

Description
Review ref: C-2 (Critical)
Files affected: docs/architecture/schemas.md, docs/architecture/cost-benefit.md
The field qualityDegradation is described as "how much upstream failure bleeds through" with "0.0 = no propagation, 1.0 = full propagation." But the propagation formula in cost-benefit.md uses (1 - qualityDegradation), meaning 0.9 = 90% quality retained (low bleeding), not 90% degradation. The name and description are semantically inverted.
Resolve one of three ways:
- Preferred: Rename field to
qualityRetention(0.9 = 90% quality retained, high retention, low bleeding). - Invert the semantics so high values = high degradation (use
qualityDegradationdirectly in formula, not1 - qualityDegradation), and change default from 0.9 to 0.1. - Keep the name but add an explicit "Note on naming" section documenting the inversion: "Despite the name,
qualityDegradationrepresents quality retention."
This must be decided before implementation because it affects the schema, the propagation formula, the DependencyEdge default, and all consumer code.
