# Dated documents

> Frozen design records, evidence and research, as decided at their date

These documents record what was decided, measured or researched on a given
date. They do not describe current behaviour, which is defined by the code, the
[OpenAPI contract](/openapi.yaml), the
[domain language](/context) and the living pages in
`docs/inventory.toml`.

Each dated document carries a `Date:` and a `Status:` line under its title and is
frozen: `make docs` fails when a branch edits or removes one (compared with
where the branch forked from `origin/main`). To change a past decision, add a
new document or ADR (`docs/adr/`) that supersedes it and links to it. Only a
document whose status is `proposed` may still be edited. The rules and their trade-offs are recorded in
ADR 0004 (`docs/adr/0004-documentation-rules-are-enforced-by-ci-only.md`).

Dated documents keep their original language.

1. Put it in the folder for its kind below. Give it a stable file name.
2. Start it with its title, then `Date: YYYY-MM-DD` and `Status: <status>` lines
   (for example `proposed`, `accepted`, `final` or `historical`).
3. Add it to the list here.

Architecture decisions go in `docs/adr/` with the next number.
