jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 4.7 a409360802 docs(decisions): D-223 #951 implementation notes + Gemma naming methodology
- Add docs/gemma-naming-methodology.md preserving the corridor-aware LLM
  place-naming approach (sector palettes, two-stage register selection +
  generation, few-shot prompting, KV-cache refresh, dedup, Earth-major
  blocklist, deterministic fallback) as institutional knowledge after the
  pipeline's retirement.
- Add an implementation-status note to D-223 recording what #951 did
  (generator + naming cluster retired, import_economics owns the atlas
  index, population deferred to #955, Sol exempt, dup bug fixed).
- CHANGELOG entries.

Decisions

Confirmed decisions, open questions, and rejected alternatives for The Settled Reach.

Decisions are split by domain. Each agent's briefing indicates which files to read. When in doubt about where a decision belongs: if it constrains how we build, it's architecture. If it defines what we build, it's scope. If it defines what the player experiences, it's content or perception. If it defines how the team works, it's process.

Cross-domain decisions live in one file with cross-reference notes in related files. Split threshold: when any file exceeds ~350 lines, review whether it should split.

Querying Decisions

The SQLite database contains a decisions table synced from these files. Common queries:

# All active architecture decisions
tooling/db/sqlite-query "SELECT id, title FROM decisions WHERE domain='architecture' AND status='active'"

# Decisions without implementing tickets
make decisions-orphan

# Decision coverage by domain
make decisions-coverage

Adding a Decision

  1. Edit the appropriate domain file
  2. Follow the existing format (### D-NNN: Title heading)
  3. Commit — the pre-commit hook runs decisions-sync automatically
  4. Update relevant agent briefings if needed
