External Codex CLI review surfaced 6 substantive findings beyond what
the internal opus reviewer caught at D1. All folded in this commit.
Files changed: ALIGNMENT.md, README.md, ADR 0001, ADR 0006, CHANGELOG.
1. Provider Inventory split: Candidate vs Enabled
- Bootstrap previously listed anthropic/openai/mistral as Tier D
default-enabled with Authority pins still "TBD at Phase N spawn".
This violated Rule 1 (Cite First) and Rule 3 (Match Implementation).
- v0.1 founding now ships 0 Enabled Providers. All 8 are Candidate.
Enablement requires: authority pin filled + plugin landed + Phase
audit passed.
2. Antigravity Tier A downgraded to "evidence-backed pending pin"
- Secondary reports disagree on blast radius (piunikaweb 03-02 says
AI-tier only; piunikaweb 02-23 + OpenClaw issue + VentureBeat say
broader). Google FAQ language naming OpenClaw/OpenCode/Claude Code
is cited from secondary sources only — primary URL not pinned.
- Exclusion remains active by default; constitutional weight matches
evidence. Primary-source pinning tracked as one-shot audit task
with 90-day Tier-reconsideration trigger.
3. ADR 0001 supersession scope narrowed
- Previous draft claimed OLP is "the structural shape ADR 0005
endorsed," but ADR 0005's separate-repo recommendation came with
"BYOK from day one" + "no cli.js spawn" qualifiers OLP rejects.
- Supersession now narrowly scoped to "single-provider-sufficiency
premise only"; BYOK + no-spawn parts of ADR 0005 explicitly NOT
inherited.
4. Anthropic post-2026-06-15 one-shot audit scheduled
- Annual 14 May audit would leave the Anthropic Tier re-eval almost
a year late after the 2026-06-15 split.
- Added one-shot audit for 2026-06-16 (or first billing-cycle close)
verifying observed behaviour matches spec §2 assumptions.
5. Tier A "permanent" wording unified
- ALIGNMENT.md and ADR 0006 disagreed (permanent vs amendable).
Unified as "Excluded by default. Cannot be re-included unless
ADR 0006 is superseded/amended with new primary-source evidence."
6. OpenAI Tier D wording softened
- Discussion #8338 was framed as "maintainer confirmed permissive";
actual quote is a maintainer posture statement with explicit "I'm
an engineer, not a lawyer" caveat.
- Now: "maintainer signal indicates low risk; formal ToS pin pending."
Reviewer: OpenAI Codex CLI (external, fresh-context). Iron Rule 10
satisfied — internal opus reviewer was not the source of these
findings; reviewer and maintainer are distinct.

Architecture Decision Records — OLP
This directory holds the OLP Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) — short documents that capture the why behind structural choices.
Read these before proposing governance, plug-in contract, IR, fallback, cache, or provider-inclusion changes.
Numbering
ADRs in OLP start at 0001 (the project's founding decision). OLP did not inherit the 0001 placeholder convention OCP used; the project starts on a fresh numbering line.
New ADRs increment from the highest existing number. Filenames are NNNN-<short-slug>.md.
Index
| ADR | Title | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| 0001 | Project Founding | Why OLP exists (the 2026-06-15 Anthropic billing-split trigger), mission + non-mission boundaries, explicit supersession of OCP ADR 0005 "No Multi-Provider". |
| 0002 | Plugin Architecture for Providers | The lib/providers/<name>.mjs plug-in model, the Provider contract (name / models / auth / spawn / estimateCost / quotaStatus / healthCheck / hints), static in-tree registry, why-not full external plugin discovery. |
| 0003 | Intermediate Representation (IR) Design | The OLP-internal canonical request/response shape between the OpenAI-compat entry surface and each provider plugin. v1.0 IR fields, IR-vs-OpenAI-vs-native-provider three-shape model, IR is not exposed externally. |
| 0004 | Fallback Engine Semantics & Safety | Trigger taxonomy (Hard / Soft / Deterministic-deferred / Cost-aware-deferred), idempotent-failure safety (first-chunk rule), chain advancement one-at-a-time, observability headers. |
| 0005 | Cache Layer Cross-Provider Design | Cache key composition over (provider, model, messages, …), per-model isolation, D1+D2+D3+D4 port from OCP v3.13.0, cross-provider fallback cache behaviour (correct miss). |
| 0006 | Provider Inclusion / Exclusion + Risk-Tier Framework | The 4-tier classification (A excluded / B explicit consent / C opt-in / D default-enabled), current v0.1 inventory, Antigravity exclusion rationale (named prohibition + no cost advantage + reinstatement friction), consent UX, future provider addition procedure. |
When to write a new ADR
Open one whenever:
- A structural rule is being added or changed (e.g., new IR field, new trigger type, new cache-key composition).
- A new provider plugin is being proposed (per ADR 0002 + ADR 0006 — ADR is a hard prerequisite for plugin merge).
- A decision encodes a lesson from an external event (provider policy change, drift incident).
- 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 / Alternatives is the standard skeleton. Cite incidents, PRs, or commits where useful. Length per ADR ~150–250 lines; longer than that, split.
