# ADR-0001: <Title of architecture decision>

## Context and problem statement

<Describe the technical context, operational dilemma, or architectural friction. What forces are compelling this decision?>

## Decision drivers

1. **Driver 1:** <e.g., Eliminate native compilation failures across Node versions>

2. **Driver 2:** <e.g., Enforce deterministic replay without external network calls>

3. **Driver 3:** <e.g., Maintain fail-closed security invariants without loopback bypasses>

## Considered options

- **Option A:** <Name of Option A>

- **Option B:** <Name of Option B>

- **Option C:** <Name of Option C>

## Evaluation and tradeoff matrix

### Option A: <name of option A>

- **Good, because:** <Advantage 1>

- **Good, because:** <Advantage 2>

- **Bad, because:** <Drawback 1>

- **Bad, because:** <Drawback 2>

### Option B: <name of option B>

- **Good, because:** <Advantage 1>

- **Bad, because:** <Drawback 1>

## Decision outcome

**Chosen Option:** **Option A**, because <comprehensive justification referencing drivers>.

### Positive consequences

- <Favorable outcome 1>

- <Favorable outcome 2>

### Negative consequences and accepted tradeoffs

- <Technical debt, limitation, or operational overhead incurred>

## Confirmation and verification strategy

- **Verification Gate:** <Exact test suite or contract check enforcing this decision>

- **Enforcement Mechanism:** <Linter, type-check, or CI rule that prevents regressions>

## Revisit conditions

This decision should be formally re-evaluated if:

1. <Condition 1, e.g., Upstream Node.js deprecates the built-in API>

2. <Condition 2, e.g., Telemetry reveals unresolvable lock contention under 100+ concurrent workers>
