# Architecture Decision Records (ADR)

This directory contains Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) documenting significant architectural decisions made in the Embeddenator project.

## What is an ADR?

An Architecture Decision Record captures an important architectural decision made along with its context and consequences. ADRs help:
- Understand the rationale behind design choices
- Onboard new team members
- Prevent repeating past discussions
- Document architectural evolution over time

## ADR Format

Each ADR follows this structure:

- **Status**: Proposed | Accepted | Deprecated | Superseded
- **Date**: When the decision was made
- **Context**: The issue motivating this decision
- **Decision**: The change being proposed or made
- **Consequences**: Positive, negative, and neutral impacts

## Creating a New ADR

When making a significant architectural decision:

1. Copy the template below
2. Number it sequentially (ADR-00X)
3. Fill in all sections
4. Submit for review via pull request
5. Update this README's table

### Template

## Decision

[Describe the decision and its rationale]

## Consequences

### Positive
- [List positive outcomes]

### Negative
