jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 4.8 526daed237 sweep stale DQR anchor slugs to canonical (em-dash → double-hyphen, retitled records)
Fixes 11 distinct inline anchor slugs that drifted from the generated
canonical form: em-dash titles render `--` (single-hyphen links were stale),
plus several truncated/old slugs (D-5, D-10, D-21, D-39, D-40, D-43, D-68,
Q-1, Q-32, Q-33). pql resolves cross-refs by ID so these were never "broken"
to the tooling, but they'd fail GitHub markdown anchor navigation. Verified:
every inline anchor now matches the README index; pql decisions sync reports
0 broken refs.

Does NOT touch the separate stale-path class (flat `questions-*.md` /
`rejected.md` naming from before the DQR subdir split) — surfaced for a
follow-up.

Rejected — Process

Alternatives considered and rejected, with rationale preserved for future reference.


R-6: Nerd-font glyph icons

  • Rejected: 2026-04-21
  • Reason: TUI hangover from the Python-era clide under legacy/. Not desktop-native; forces a font dependency; doesn't theme consistently. Clide uses custom icon primitives (Tier 6 revisits with proper icon-set design).
  • Cross-reference: Q-17

R-9: Port planning tooling into clide

  • Rejected: 2026-04-21
  • Reason: Earlier in the planning session the assumption was "clide owns Dart subcommands for decisions + tickets." That breaks the day a contributor works in a terminal or in VS Code / JetBrains — they have no clide binary to run. Reversing: pql owns planning long-term (see D-39); clide consumes via shell-out.
  • Cross-reference: D-39

R-10: Python-script stopgap under tooling/db/

  • Rejected: 2026-04-21
  • Reason: Location, not language. Settled-reach puts scripts at tooling/db/ — copying that path here creates a script-pollution problem: every project using the pattern commits its own copy. The accepted Python port (D-40) lives at tools/scripts/plan, clearly signalled as dev-tooling and time-limited.
  • Cross-reference: D-40

R-11: Permanent stopgap

  • Rejected: 2026-04-21
  • Reason: If the Python port under tools/scripts/plan outlasts pql's feature parity, delete it. The deletion commit should be one changeset: remove tools/scripts/plan, remove its Makefile target (decisions-validate rewires to pql decisions validate), add a CHANGELOG.md entry under Removed, and verify .pql/pql.db still opens under the new pql binary.
  • Cross-reference: D-40
