Architecture Decision Records
This directory holds the OCP Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) — short documents that capture the why behind structural choices.
Read these before proposing governance, SPOT (single-source-of-truth), or process changes.
Numbering
ADRs start at 0002. The first one (0001) was reserved for an early
internal proposal that was superseded before publication; 0002 is
deliberately the first published record so the archived 0001 slot
remains a placeholder rather than being silently renumbered.
New ADRs increment from the highest existing number. Filenames are
NNNN-<short-slug>.md.
Index
| ADR | Title | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| 0002 | Alignment Constitution | The ALIGNMENT.md constitution: why every server.mjs change requires cli.js citation + independent reviewer + CI blacklist pass. Background: the 2026-04-11 drift incident. |
| 0003 | models.json as SPOT |
Why model IDs / aliases / context windows live in a single JSON file (not duplicated in server.mjs and setup.mjs arrays). v3.11.0 refactor. |
| 0004 | OpenClaw Auto-Sync | Why scripts/sync-openclaw.mjs runs on ocp update, what its scope boundary is (writes only models.providers["claude-local"].models and agents.defaults.models["claude-local/*"]), and the idempotency contract. |
| 0005 | No Multi-Provider | Why OCP stays single-provider (Anthropic-via-cli.js) and does not extend to OpenAI / Gemini / OpenRouter. Cost estimate: ~7 weeks for a v1 that buys neither moat nor commercial readiness. Separate commercial work starts in a separate repo. |
| 0006 | OpenAI Shim Scope | The Class A / Class B taxonomy. Class A endpoints (cli.js-mirror) keep Rules 1–5 verbatim; Class B endpoints (OCP-owned compatibility surface — /v1/chat/completions, /v1/models, admin endpoints) are anchored to OpenAI's spec (B.1) or to an authorizing ADR (B.2). Triggered by PR #99 (external response_format honoring). Grandfathers the existing B.2 inventory at v3.16.4. |
When to write a new ADR
Open one whenever:
- A structural rule is being added or changed (e.g., new SPOT, new boundary, new CI guardrail).
- A decision encodes a lesson from an incident or drift.
- A future contributor reading the code alone could plausibly undo or re-litigate the choice.
Skip ADRs for routine implementation choices (algorithm pick, naming) — those belong in commit messages.
Format
Keep ADRs short — Context / Decision / Consequences is the standard skeleton. Cite incidents, PRs, or commits where useful.
