However, they had limitations: + +- **Not machine-verifiable**: No schema validation +- **Poor AI readability**: Free-form narrative requires parsing +- **No discovery mechanism**: Must scan all files +- **Not STE-compliant**: Doesn't follow STE principles + +ADR Kit addresses all these limitations with: +- JSON Schema + Pydantic validation +- YAML frontmatter + embedded Markdown +- Auto-generated manifest for discovery +- Full STE compliance (PRIME-1, PRIME-2, SYS-14) + +## What Changed? + +### Format +- **Before**: Markdown with bold metadata (`**Status:** Accepted`) +- **After**: YAML frontmatter with strict schema + +### Structure +- **Before**: Free-form sections (Context, Decision, Rationale, Specification, Consequences) +- **After**: Structured fields (context, decisions[], invariants[], component_specifications[]) + +### Discovery +- **Before**: Grep through markdown files +- **After**: Query manifest.yaml by domain, status, technology + +### Validation +- **Before**: Manual review only +- **After**: Automated JSON Schema + Pydantic validation + +## What Was Preserved? + +**Everything.** All narrative content, metadata, and decisions were migrated: + +- Context sections → `context` field +- Decision sections → `decisions[].summary` +- Rationale sections → `decisions[].rationale` +- Specification sections → `invariants[]` or `component_specifications[]` +- Consequences sections → `decisions[].consequences` + +Original E-ADRs are preserved in this archive for historical reference. + +## Migration Tooling + +The migration was performed using [adr-architecture-kit](https://github.com/egallmann/adr-architecture-kit) migration tooling: + +```bash +python scripts/migrate_e_adrs.py \ + --input-dir ste-runtime/documentation/e-adr \ + --output-dir ste-runtime/adrs \ + --ste-runtime-root ste-runtime +``` + +This tooling is reusable for other projects migrating from Markdown ADRs to ADR Kit format. + +## References + +- [New ADRs](../../adrs/) +- [ADR Kit Documentation](https://github.com/egallmann/adr-architecture-kit) +- [Migration Details](../../adrs/MIGRATION.md) diff --git a/src/recon/phases/index.test.ts b/src/recon/phases/index.test.ts index 6d46e56..30a83f3 100644 --- a/src/recon/phases/index.test.ts +++ b/src/recon/phases/index.test.ts @@ -3,7 +3,10 @@ * Tests the main runReconPhases function that orchestrates all 7 phases */ -import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach } from 'vitest';
