Manager Architecture — ADR covering design decisions #43

Source

PRD: Issue #15 - Manager Console orchestration

Gap Covered

No ADR exists — The PRD explicitly states: "This work likely warrants an ADR." None has been created. The manager architecture covers a significant set of design decisions (command model, event sourcing, queue lifecycle, refiner delegation, escalation paths) that should be documented as an ADR.

Expected Outcome

• ADR created in docs/adr/ documenting:
  • Why the manager uses event sourcing
  • Command/event model design
  • Refiner thread lifecycle and handoff protocol
  • Delegation and escalation flow
  • Writeback architecture (append-only model)
  • Seeded work item classification approach
