Summary

This draft adds an ExecPlan for roadmap item 1.1.1 — Record the
transition-boundary scope decision as an ADR
(tracked as 10.1.3). It is a
planning deliverable only; per the ExecPlan approval gate, no implementation
has begun and none should until the plan is approved.

The plan lives at
docs/execplans/1-1-1-record-the-transition-boundary-scope-decision-as-an-adr.md.
It sequences the delivery of a new accepted ADR,
docs/adr-002-transition-boundary-scope.md, stating that Statelet marks
boundaries and does not own dispatch, events, storage, transition tables, or
graph safety
, and embeds the full proposed ADR text as an artifact so a
reviewer can assess the decision wording now.

What the plan covers

  • Documentation-only scope. No Rust, no public API, no runtime behaviour, so
    the runtime test stack (rstest, rstest-bdd, proptest, kani, verus,
    insta) does not apply. Validation is the Markdown gates plus a shared,
    whitespace-folding content/link predicate that plays the Red-Green-Refactor
    role and is robust to the 80-column wrap.
  • Four stages (understand -> red check -> author ADR -> sync companion docs
    and close the item), with idempotent, grep-guarded companion-document edits to
    contents.md, design.md, terms-of-reference.md, and the roadmap.
  • Embedded ADR artifact following the repository ADR house style (not the
    global Y-Statement template), mirroring adr-001.

How it was produced

Drafted with a research and cross-reference agent team (Firecrawl-verified prior
art for stateless, statig, smlang, macro-machines), then revised after a
community-of-experts review pass that hardened the acceptance check, added a
"ship nothing" option, softened the market-vacancy claim, and switched brittle
design-section numbers to name-plus-number citations.

Validation

  • make markdownlint — clean (the ExecPlan and the extracted ADR both pass).
  • make check-fmt — clean. make nixie — all diagrams validated.
  • The embedded ADR, when extracted to a file, passes the plan's own acceptance
    predicate (decision sentence present exactly once, all five concerns in
    order).

Reviewer notes

This PR is the requested approval gate. Implementation of adr-002 follows only
after approval.

Summary

  • Record ADR 002 as the canonical definition of Statelet’s marker-only transition-boundary scope.
  • Keep dispatch, events, storage, transition tables, graph safety, and control flow outside Statelet’s ownership.
  • Add the completed ExecPlan for roadmap item 1.1.1, including validation and documentation synchronisation steps.
  • Link ADR 002 from docs/contents.md, docs/design.md, docs/roadmap.md, and docs/terms-of-reference.md.
  • Deliver documentation changes only. Add no Rust code, public API, or runtime behaviour.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to da497

This documentation-only PR adds an ADR and its execution plan, but the validation predicate can accept a decision sentence with the wrong subject, allowing an incorrect decision artifact to pass approval. The issue is localized but should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Testing (Overall) ✅ Passed PASS: The PR diff contains only six Markdown documentation files and no Rust, test, API, or runtime-behaviour changes; the testing requirement is therefore inapplicable.
User-Facing Documentation ✅ Passed Pass this check: the complete diff changes only Markdown documentation, adds no functionality or behaviour, and leaves docs/users-guide.md unchanged.
Module-Level Documentation ✅ Passed Pass the check: the PR changes only six Markdown files; it adds no Rust module. The existing src/lib.rs module already has a //! purpose description.
Testing (Unit And Behavioural) ✅ Passed Pass: the merge-base diff changes only Markdown under docs/. It changes no source, tests, API, or runtime behaviour, so unit, behavioural, and end-to-end tests are not applicable.

leynos and others added 3 commits August 14, 2026 23:24
Draft an execution plan for roadmap item 1.1.1, which records the
transition-boundary scope decision as an accepted ADR stating that
Statelet marks boundaries and does not own dispatch, events, storage,
transition tables, or graph safety.

The plan is documentation-only: it delivers
docs/adr-002-transition-boundary-scope.md plus companion-document sync,
and embeds the full proposed ADR text as an artifact. Because the
deliverable has no executable behaviour, the runtime test stack does not
apply; validation uses the Markdown gates plus a shared, whitespace-
folding content/link predicate that plays the Red-Green-Refactor role.

The plan was drafted with a research and cross-reference agent team and
revised after a community-of-experts review pass (acceptance-check
robustness, an added "ship nothing" option, softened vacancy claims, and
name-plus-number design citations).

Status is DRAFT; implementation awaits approval per the ExecPlan gate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add ADR 002 to ratify Statelet's marker-only boundary before runtime
work begins. Keep the execution record with the red-green documentation
contract that proves the required decision wording.
Make the accepted scope boundary discoverable from the index, design,
terms of reference, and completed roadmap item. Record the completed
validation evidence in the execution plan.

That would be decorative parser scaffolding. The projection would exist only to
satisfy a marker; its before-state describes a scoped region rather than a
boundary decision, and the important invariant remains counter balance and
underflow prevention. `transition.*` fields do not express that invariant.

Match the complete canonical decision sentence.

Change SENTENCE to include Statelet. The current predicate matches only the suffix beginning with marks, so another subject can satisfy the check. That can produce a false GREEN result against the acceptance condition at Line 525 through Line 528.

Remove the Markdown emphasis markers during normalisation, or match the complete sentence with equivalent handling.
