Context

Beyond the broader ADM framework, individual, concrete technical decisions (e.g. which testing framework to use, how components render, how accessibility is enforced) need a lightweight, per-decision record — this is what ADRs provide.

What was done

Established the ADR format and numbering convention (0001-..., 0002-..., etc.)
Authored the first set of ADRs covering: Repository Structure, Technology Stack, Public API Design (Web Components), Rendering Approach (SVG vs. Canvas), and Accessibility as a Cross-Cutting Concern
Introduced a Change Log section convention at the end of each ADR, so that later corrections (e.g. a technology swap) are documented in place instead of silently rewriting history

Outcome

ADRs published under docs/src/content/docs/architecture/adr/
Change Log convention already exercised in practice (e.g. documenting the Jest → Vitest switch and the repository structure correction)
