Decision statuses — Whether a decision is in force. Shared by ADR and DP, because as far as being in force goes a principle and a decision are the same kind of object.

Superseded — no longer in force because something replaced it; the successor is named in the field, not in the prose.

ADR-006Generate the registry from the record instead of checking it inregistry.yaml and REGISTRY.md are already derived from research.yaml and committed as though they were sources. Once the record is ground truth they should be built from it as artifacts for the frontend. Proposed, not Active: the inversion is phase 4 and the frontend contract has not been checked yet.Superseded — by ADR-008; by ADR-008, which retires the pipeline rather than inverting it
ADR-020The recommendations are scoped by kind of claim, not by domainSuperseded — by ADR-026; The decision below — scope by kind of claim, not by domain — is carried forward unchanged. What is superseded is the alternative it rejected: it declined to add generative-modeling and vision-and-graphics to the practice vocabulary, and that paragraph was being cited as a scope boundary, which is the exact thing this ADR was written to remove.
ADR-024The topic vocabulary has four recurring seams — options, not a decisionADR-021 said to expect a fourth vocabulary decision. Declaring the relations the practice bodies argue produced 25 unbound edges, and they are not scattered: four topic pairs account for eighteen of them. This states the evidence and four options, and decides nothing — the choice is which kind of claim the vocabulary is failing to name, and that is a judgement about the subject rather than about the record.Superseded — by ADR-049; by ADR-049, which reversed this document’s premise that an unbound edge is not a defect, and took the seams it described to zero. Its options were each taken elsewhere: more than one topic per document by ADR-035, a filing rule by ADR-026 and ADR-046, and new topics by ADR-050.
ADR-027The practice vocabulary cannot express a claim about how to evaluateReading the generic-bullet corpus produced four recommendations about measurement, and the practice vocabulary has nowhere to file them. The LIT side has analysis-and-evaluation; the practice side does not, and unlike the other two topics missing from it, this one is a kind of claim rather than a domain. Adds it, making eleven.Superseded — by ADR-028
ADR-029A practice’s origin and its evidence are different relationssource: is one ordered list doing two jobs: naming the work that produced evidence about a claim, and naming the work the claim came from. ADR-017’s retraction test picks the first by construction, so the record reads as though every practice began with the paper it cites — SOTA-087’s recomputation is dated to FlashAttention (2022) and SOTA-060’s depth-scaled init to Megatron-LM (2021), and both recommendations are Child et al. (2019). Adds introduced_by: rather than reordering source:, because published: and the retraction test both depend on what the first entry currently means.Superseded — by ADR-030
ADR-036An unbound relation is one of four things, and only one of them is a retagThe unbound-lineage report had 38 relations and 16 lines. Reading all of them: 15 documents were plainly mis-filed and are retagged, two sibling links were analogies rather than comparisons and are removed, and the remaining 24 are two structural facts about the vocabulary — that analysis-and-evaluation is a kind rather than a subject and will unbind every lineage it touches, and that the record has no relation for “this is the domain-specific instance of that”. Neither is fixed by retagging, and retagging to clear them is the move luria.yaml already warns against.Superseded — by ADR-048; Superseded only in its fourth category. The four-way classification, the fifteen retags and the two removed sibling links all stand; what changed is the verdict on trunk papers whose contribution spans two topics, which this decision left standing because splitting one would file it under half its contribution. ADR-046 made splitting unnecessary — such a paper carries both topics — so the successor retags six documents rather than leaving them.
ADR-048An unbound relation is one of four things, and liberal tagging answers one of themCarries ADR-036’s four-way classification forward unchanged and revises one verdict. Its fourth category included trunk papers whose contribution spans two topics, left standing because “splitting a trunk paper’s topic would be filing it under half its contribution” — true under minimal tagging, and moot under ADR-046, which says carry both. Six documents retagged, twenty-two unbound relations down to sixteen. Rejected: retagging the analysis-and-evaluation crossings, and binding the flash-attention edges.Superseded — by ADR-049; Superseded on its central verdict. Its six retags stand and its account of what liberal tagging does and does not resolve stands; what it got wrong is leaving sixteen relations unbound and reporting the invariant as over-strong. The successor binds all of them by naming what the documents were already about, and records that unbound is never the resting state.
