Software Engineering decisions

Material decisions use DF- records under research/decisions/. This compact table is a navigation view, not a replacement for those records.

Date	Decision	Status	Rationale	Record
2026-07-29	Use ROS 1.0.0 as a measured greenfield pilot.	provisional	Test portability and operational value on a real beginning project.	Not yet promoted to a `DF-` record
2026-07-29	Select a handoff reconstruction evaluator as the first vertical slice.	provisional	Best current combination of evidenced need, measurability, safety, and reversibility.	DF-HANDOFF-2026-5C9B
2026-07-29	Reject “Communication Engineering” as a distinct discipline.	review	Twelve adjacent bodies cover every proposed capability; no exclusive mechanism or prediction was found.	DF-BOUNDARY-2026-3F72
2026-07-30	Use a competent conventional status note as the handoff artifact control.	review	Avoid a no-documentation straw baseline and separate artifact efficacy from whole-ROS attribution.	DF-BASELINE-2026-48C0
