jpmschweitzerandClaude Opus 4.8 f936e503da docs(decisions): restructure into pql governance DQR tree
Phase 1 of the pql migration. Moves the flat decisions/*.md layout into
governance/{decisions,questions,rejected}/<domain>.md — the tree pql's
`decisions sync` parses natively (record type from subdir, domain from
filename stem). Proven against pql 1.6.2: sync reports 357 records
(237 D / 108 Q / 12 R), 1057 refs, broken: 0; validate ok.

- 6 D-domain files -> governance/decisions/ (git renames)
- 5 questions-<domain>.md -> governance/questions/<domain>.md (prefix dropped)
- rejected.md split by domain -> governance/rejected/{architecture(R-001..010),
  economics(R-011),perception(R-012)}.md
- decisions/README.md + questions.md index folded into governance/README.md;
  pql's `decisions sync` now auto-maintains the record index appended below
  the hand-written domain guidance (no more manual ID-list table upkeep).
- .pql/config.yaml: canonical vault config (tracked, not ignored).

Link rewrites are token-preserving: only the relative `foo.md` path portion
changes (e.g. `rejected.md#r-011` -> `../rejected/economics.md#r-011`); every
`[D-NNN]` bracket text and `#anchor` stays byte-identical, so pql's reference
extraction is unaffected. The one-shot transform is committed at
tooling/pql-migrate/restructure_decisions.py for provenance.

Codebase path references to decisions/ (CLAUDE.md, rules, skills, docs) are
updated in a follow-up commit.

Rejected Alternatives — Perception

Rejected proposals in the perception domain, rationale preserved for the audit trail.

R-012: Overheard NPC conversation system (D-078) — scrapped

  • Rejected: 2026-04-10
  • Reason: The entire NPC ambient interaction model (overheard conversations, room grammar, zone-type NPC population, behavior engine for physical spaces) is scrapped. These systems were designed speculatively before a walkable environment exists. The NPC interaction model will be designed and built from scratch after Phase 5 (world generation at tile level) is complete. All content authored against these systems (overheard.ron, zone-type conversation pools) is orphaned. Related content pattern note in content.md and D-078 in perception.md are superseded.
  • Cross-reference: D-078 (perception.md), content pattern note (content.md #664)
