## 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 |
