# mql — project log

## 2026-04-19 — project started

- Scaffolded `~/projects/mql/` as a sibling repo (Go module planned; no code yet).
- Archived the design plan at `~/projects/mql/docs/structure/initial-plan.md`.
- Decided: Go over Rust (single-binary cross-compile story, pure-Go SQLite via `modernc.org/sqlite`, development velocity for the target scope).
- Decided: Dataview-compatible query dialect from the start, not a narrower `--where` expression. Grows cleanly over time.
- First milestone (v0.1): indexer + `files`, `meta`, `tags`, `schema` commands — no DQL parser yet.
- Council PKB (this repo) is the v0.1 fixture corpus.
