Architecture Decision Records

Each ADR records one decision — the context, the choice, and its consequences — so the why survives after the plan that produced it is gone. Conclusions, not plans: these are permanent. Superseding a decision means adding a new ADR that marks the old one Superseded, never editing the record of what was decided.

These were reverse-written on 2026-07-01 from the project's original design record; the decisions themselves were settled during initial design (2026-06) and are reflected in the shipped v0.3.0 code.

ADR Decision
0001 Name the crate timeglyph
0002 Canonical spine is PosixNs(i128) — POSIX, not UTC
0003 Partition leap-aware time scales (GPS/TAI/NTP) out of PosixNs
0004 Reuse jiff/hifitime; write zero calendar math
0005 Interpretation is scored and multi-candidate — never one "detected format"
0006 One crate, lib + thin CLI (Humble Object) — no -core split
0007 Clean-room validation: specs + time_decode oracle; never decompile DCode
0008 Lunisolar conversion is convention-relative — --tz required
0009 timeglyph-lens zone & time display conventions (amber chip, no ⚠, Local (…), etc.)
0010 Alt-calendar visibility default per surface — lens GUI opt-out (all on), CLI cal opt-in (none)
