MC-DEC-20260704-b2b839a6 — Use project-memory card branding#

Status: active Scope: project Evidence:

• legacy-unverified

Decision: Use stacked index-card branding with a near-black background and short blue bookmark marker. Reason: Signal local project memory and manifest-driven retrieval, not CI validation.

MC-DEC-20260704-897ff460 — Make plugin distribution self-contained#

Status: active Scope: project Evidence:

• legacy-unverified

Decision: Codex plugin support includes repo-local marketplace metadata, plugin metadata/assets, and a bundled CLI wrapper. Project memory stays in docs/memory/. Reason: Plugin install should expose the workflow and helper CLI without copying project memory.

MC-DEC-20260703-2285865c — Version package and memory protocol separately#

Status: active Scope: project Evidence:

• legacy-unverified

Decision: Track package/plugin version separately from memory protocol version. Manifests record protocol metadata. Reason: CLI or skill updates must not silently mutate existing project memory.

MC-DEC-20260703-d403d087 — Separate offline memory from distribution#

Status: active Scope: project Evidence:

• legacy-unverified

Decision: Memory operations work offline by default; installation/update flows may use network distribution. Reason: Runtime memory stays local-first while updates can use marketplaces, package managers, or git.

MC-DEC-20260719-59d6d8ed — Keep Protocol 0.5 for v0.9#

Status: active Scope: project Evidence:

• legacy-unverified

Decision: Keep the memory protocol at 0.5 while package 0.9 removes CLI semantic guessing and hardens mutation safety. Reason: Manifest schema and routing syntax remain compatible with existing 0.5 projects.

MC-DEC-20260718-491db2c3 — Protocol 0.5#

Status: active Scope: project Evidence:

• legacy-unverified

Decision: Keep for v0.8. Reason: Existing manifests support strict routing.

MC-DEC-20260704-a4ce76c2 — Add lightweight plugin bootstrap and deterministic packaging#

Status: active Scope: project Evidence:

• legacy-unverified

Decision: Add a thin session-start bootstrap and deterministic Codex archive packaging while keeping memory protocol 0.4. Reason: Startup should nudge manifest-first loading without injecting full skill text or memory; package versions may advance separately.
