Adopt maintainer-recommended option (a): keep the convertedAgentsKind / stageAgentsForRuntimeWithConverter scope-threading plumbing, but DEFER the 8 runtimes' capability.json `agents`-kind declarations to a follow-up that first ships the ADR-1235 §0 byte-for-byte parity harness. The declarations were a live regression: the second `layout.kinds` consumer, applySurface / `/gsd:surface` / `--materialize` (src/surface.cts), does not mirror the legacy agent pipeline (copilot `.agent.md` rename, path-prefix rewrite + attribution, stale cleanup), so a `/gsd:surface` toggle deleted installed copilot `gsd-*.agent.md` and path-unrewrote the other 7 runtimes. trek-e + davesienkowski both flagged this. - Revert the agents-kind entries from the 8 capability.json files and regenerate capability-registry.cjs (now matches next; 0 converted agents kinds declared). - Revert the declaration-driven kind-count test bumps (runtime-artifact-layout, descriptor-drive, bug-782, enh-789, enh-790). - Keep the synthetic-descriptor seam tests for convertedAgentsKind dispatch; add a synthetic scope-threading test so the kept isGlobal plumbing stays covered without depending on real declarations. - Update the convertedAgentsKind doc comment to state declarations are deferred pending the ADR-1235 §0 parity harness. - Move ADR-1235 to Accepted. - Reword the changeset to plumbing-only (docs-exempt now honest: no runtime declares the kind, legacy loop authoritative, installed output unchanged).

Architecture Decision Records
This directory contains Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for GSD.
Each ADR documents one architectural decision: what was decided, why, and what consequences follow. ADRs are append-only. Amendments extend existing ADRs with a dated section rather than replacing them.
Naming Convention
New ADRs use issue#-prefix slug naming:
docs/adr/<issue#>-<kebab-slug>.md
Examples: 3485-adr-prd-naming-convention.md, 3464-review-default-reviewers.md.
Why
Two developers computing "next ADR number" locally against main will independently pick the same integer and both ship. The collision is already on disk — 0010-* exists twice and 0011-* exists three times. GitHub issue numbers are server-assigned and atomic: the moment you open an issue, that number is reserved globally. Two PRs that both edit the ### Fixed block of CHANGELOG.md always conflict on merge — two PRs that each use a distinct issue# as their ADR prefix never collide. Same shape, same solution.
Legacy ADRs
Files 0001-* through 0011-* are preserved as immutable historical record. The duplicate 0010-* and the three-way 0011-* are documented residue of the old local-compute convention — not patterns to imitate. Do not renumber them.
Full process
See CONTRIBUTING.md — "Proposing an ADR or PRD" for the end-to-end workflow: opening the issue, waiting for approval, naming the file, and submitting the PR.

Seam map
ADR 0005 is the top-level SDK seam index. It references per-seam ADRs and states the narrow-waist principle each seam follows. Use it as the entry point for understanding SDK module ownership.
ADR 0006 documents how SDK query handlers project planning paths (cwd → effectiveRoot → .planning/<project>/...). Cross-reference with the Planning Workspace Module (ADR 0004) for workstream pointer policy.
ADR 0008 documents the Installer Migration Module for safe install-time moves, removals, config rewrites, and user-data preservation.
ADR 0009 documents the Shell Command Projection Module seam for runtime-aware projection of installer-owned command text and projection IR.
ADR 0010 documents the File Operation Engine Module seam for converging installer/migration/planning file mutation safety policy, and its relationship to ADR 0009 hook-command ownership policy.
ADR 0011 documents the Skill Surface Budget Module for install-time skill/agent
profile staging (--profile=<name>, .gsd-profile marker, requires: closure)
and the Phase 2 runtime /gsd:surface command for cluster-level enable/disable
without reinstall.
ADR 1411 establishes the Resolution Provenance principle: context resolution (config loading, project-root anchoring, workstream resolution) must report its provenance rather than fall open silently to defaults. It is the resolution-side analog of ADR 227 (input-validation shape), binds the Config Loader Module, Project-Root Resolution Module, and I/O Module, and is the decision record for epic #1411 (phases P1–P4).
