jpmschweitzerandClaude 4d515ce51e scaffold decisions/ with backlog from planning sessions
Adopt settled-reach's Q&D record convention. Confirmed decisions
live under decisions/<domain>.md as D-NNN; open questions under
questions-<domain>.md as Q-NNN; rejected alternatives in rejected.md
as R-NNN. Markdown is source of truth; .pql/pql.db (added later) is a
query index.

Backlog captured from the Tier-0 Flutter planning sessions: bare
WidgetsApp, theme pipeline, kernel admission rule, feature-first
layout, a11y + i18n as Tier-0 contracts, test pyramid, kanban over
Scrum, pql-owns-planning, Python stopgap sunset clause.

ADR migration (D-001, D-003-D-006 confirmed, R-002 rejected) is
staged for the next commit so the diff stays readable.

# Tooling Decisions
Toolchain, supply chain, CI, ignore strategy.
---
### D-031: Prefer-zero-deps, exact-pin
- **Date:** 2026-04-21
- **Decision:** Default to writing code ourselves. Every third-party Dart dependency needs a paragraph of justification in the PR that adds it. What stays is exact-pinned in `pubspec.yaml` (no caret ranges), `pubspec.lock` is committed, and advisories are reviewed before every bump.
- **Rationale:** Supply-chain gate. Flutter SDK + Dart SDK give us most of what we need; the dependencies we keep are the ones we can't reasonably write (yaml parser, mocktail, alchemist). Exact-pin because caret ranges mean "the CVE bumps itself in silently."
- **Cost:** Longer PR descriptions for deps; occasional reinvention of a convenience. Accepted.
- **Raised by:** 2026-04-21 planning; reinforced by user feedback memory.
### D-032: CI — Gitea primary, Linux-only runners, not yet activated
- **Date:** 2026-04-21
- **Decision:** CI config lives at `.gitea/workflows/test.yml` (Gitea Actions consumes GitHub-Actions syntax). Runners are Linux only; macOS is tested locally. The workflow is ready but Gitea Actions is not yet activated on the instance — the file is a staged pipeline for review. If the repo moves to GitHub, the file copies to `.github/workflows/test.yml` verbatim.
- **Rationale:** We want the CI story defined before we turn CI on — lower blast radius on early red builds. GitHub portability is free because the syntax is shared.
- **Cost:** PRs don't run CI yet; `make push-check` is the gate until activation.
- **Raised by:** 2026-04-21 planning.
### D-033: Golden-output ignore pattern — `coverage.*` excludes output, not scripts
- **Date:** 2026-04-21
- **Decision:** `.gitignore` excludes `coverage.*` (the lcov output files from `flutter test --coverage`). Coverage-related scripts are named `ci/test_coverage.sh` (not `ci/coverage.sh`) to stay outside the pattern.
- **Rationale:** An earlier draft named the script `ci/coverage.sh` and it was silently git-ignored. Renaming the script is cheaper than narrowing the gitignore pattern (which risks re-introducing output churn).
- **Cost:** Script names have a convention to follow.
- **Raised by:** 2026-04-21 planning (caught during commit rehearsal).
