Accepted (phased). Pivot the Claude pane from the interactive tmux TUI to the stream-json control protocol: structured events instead of transcript tailing, permissions + AskUserQuestion handled natively via canUseTool, persistence via --resume. Claude's tmux agent-team mode is headless- incompatible, so teams become clide-orchestrated — N managed sessions coordinated by a clide-hosted MCP broker, with team-awareness injected via --append-system-prompt/--agents. Captures the unified-session-model upside: teammate / secondary tab / forked branch / inline subagent collapse into one primitive (a managed session rendered as a pane), with the sidebar as the cockpit. Amends D-41 (persistence) and evolves D-75 (rendering source). Phase 1 single-agent first; phase 2 the unified model. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Decisions, Questions, Rejected
This directory holds structured planning records that pql parses
into pql.db. Each record is a ### [DQR]-N: Title heading inside
a markdown file. Files live in three per-type subdirectories:
decisions/<domain>.md— confirmed design decisionsquestions/<domain>.md— open questions that may resolve into decisions or rejected proposalsrejected/<domain>.md— rejected proposals (kept for the audit trail)
The parser infers domain from the filename stem and record type from the parent subdirectory.
D-records that propose implementation work link to initiative-type
tickets via decision_ref. Run pql decisions show <id> --with-tickets to inspect implementation status.
Recommended domains
Start with this canonical set; create files as records land in each domain:
- architecture — structural commitments (storage, layering, languages, libraries)
- process — team workflow (commits, branches, releases, reviews)
- design — user-facing surface (UX, UI, public APIs)
- coding-conventions — team-internal code shape (style, lint, file layout)
- testing — quality strategy (coverage, layers, gates)
