Converged Decisions
1. Naming Convention (T01, T07)
| Aspect |
Decision |
| Canonical paths |
Single-character: e/, r/, t/, s/, p/, q/ |
| Human aliases |
Symlinks: entities/, relations/, timeline/, state/, procedures/, queries/ |
| Discovery |
.aliases/ directory + MANIFEST.md per root |
| Documentation |
Long-form canonical, short-form parenthetical |
| Error messages |
Long-form primary, short-form hint |
2. Relation Storage (T02, T04, T06, T12)
| Aspect |
Decision |
| Binary relations |
Files: {subject}--{object}.rel |
| N-ary relations |
Directories with role-labeled symlinks |
| Delimiter |
-- (not +) |
| Symmetric relations |
Canonical hash of lexicographically sorted participants |
| Attributes |
meta.yaml within relation directory |
| Query cost |
O(n) scan accepted for attribute queries |
3. Entity Extensibility (T05, T13)
| Aspect |
Decision |
| Core types |
person, org, place, concept, project, asset, task, word, event |
| Extension mechanism |
X-prefix registration (X01, X02...) |
| Overflow notation |
Length-prefix: 2AB for 2-char code "AB" |
4. Determinism Model (T03, T08, T09)
| Aspect |
Decision |
| Scope |
Deterministic within schema epoch |
| Ambiguity handling |
Mandatory semantic qualifiers |
| State boundary |
State-as-property (not entity) |
| Version pinning |
Agents MUST pin to commit or version tag |
5. Scalability (T10)
| Aspect |
Decision |
| Entity sharding |
Hash-prefix: e/person/a8/alice/ |
| Secondary indexes |
Optional .idx/ directory |
| Relation queries |
O(n) scan accepted as tradeoff |
6. Git Conventions (T15, T16, T17)
| Aspect |
Decision |
| Concurrency |
Pessimistic file lock (.blue/LOCK) |
| Merge strategy |
.gitattributes with merge=union for state files |
| Destructive ops |
Soft-delete to .archived/ with MANIFEST.log |
| Retention |
90 days before gc eligible |
7. Spec Rigor (T18, T19, T20)
| Aspect |
Decision |
| Normative language |
RFC 2119 keywords (MUST, SHOULD, MAY) |
| Conformance classes |
Reader-Core, Writer-Core, Agent-Complete |
| Error taxonomy |
FATAL, WARNING, INFO with UKFS-{SEV}-{NUM} codes |
8. Validation (T14)
| Aspect |
Decision |
| Scope |
27 docs, 50 questions, UKFS vs RAG comparison |
| Timeline |
11 engineering days |
| Success metrics |
Precision@3, determinism, staleness resilience, token efficiency |
Deferred to v1.1
| Topic |
Reason |
| Security/Access Control (T11) |
Requires separate RFC for classification metadata and encryption |
| Validation-Complete conformance class |
Needs schema validation tooling |
| Full error code registry |
Needs implementation experience |
| Multi-writer CRDT merge |
Complexity beyond v1.0 scope |
