# Decision Log

## How to Use This Log
Document all significant architectural and design decisions.

**Format**:
- **Date**: When decision was made
- **Decision**: What was decided
- **Context**: Why this decision was needed
- **Options Considered**: Alternatives evaluated
- **Rationale**: Why this option was chosen
- **Consequences**: Expected impact and trade-offs
- **Status**: Proposed / Accepted / Deprecated / Superseded

---

## [2026-01-02] Database Choice: PostgreSQL

**Context**: Need to choose a database for the project. Requirements include:
- ACID compliance
- Good performance with relational data
- JSON support for flexible schemas
- Mature ecosystem

**Options Considered**:
1. **PostgreSQL** - Relational, ACID, JSON support
2. **MySQL** - Relational, widely used
3. **MongoDB** - Document store, flexible schema
4. **SQLite** - Simple, file-based

**Decision**: Use PostgreSQL

**Rationale**:
- Best balance of features for our needs
- Excellent JSON/JSONB support (flexibility + structure)
- Strong ACID guarantees
- Team has PostgreSQL experience
- Great tooling and extension ecosystem
- Better for complex queries than MongoDB
- More robust than SQLite for multi-user

**Consequences**:
- ✅ Strong data consistency
- ✅ Complex queries well-supported
- ✅ Can evolve schema as needed (JSONB)
- ⚠️ Requires proper hosting (not embedded like SQLite)
- ⚠️ Learning curve for advanced features

**Status**: ✅ Accepted

---

## [2026-01-05] API Framework: FastAPI vs Flask

**Context**: Choose Python web framework for REST API

**Options Considered**:
1. **FastAPI** - Modern, async, type hints, auto docs
2. **Flask** - Mature, simple, flexible
3. **Django REST** - Full-featured, batteries included

**Decision**: Use FastAPI

**Rationale**:
- Built-in async support (better performance)
- Automatic API documentation (OpenAPI/Swagger)
- Type hints reduce bugs
- Modern Python practices
- Excellent for APIs (not general web apps)

**Consequences**:
- ✅ Better performance with async
- ✅ Type safety catches errors early
- ✅ Self-documenting API
- ⚠️ Smaller ecosystem than Flask
- ⚠️ Team needs to learn async patterns

**Status**: ✅ Accepted

Update TODO.md with sprint tasks

During Development

Update TODO.md daily with progress
Log decisions in DECISIONS.md as they're made
Track meetings in MEETINGS.md
Update sprint file with standup notes
Move completed tasks to DONE.md

End of Sprint

Sprint Review: Document what was completed
Sprint Retrospective: Capture learnings
Update ROADMAP.md: Adjust if needed
Archive completed tasks: Move to DONE.md
Plan next sprint

Tracking Progress

Check project health by reviewing:

# Recent decisions

# Current tasks
cat tasks/TODO.md

# Sprint progress
cat sprints/sprint-XX.md

# Project status
head -n 100 docs/PROJECT.md

Task Management Best Practices

Priority Levels

P0 / Critical: Blockers, bugs in production, must-haves for MVP
P1 / High: Important features, significant improvements
P2 / Medium: Nice-to-have features, minor improvements
P3 / Low: Future considerations, ideas

Task Sizing

S (Small): < 4 hours, single person, low complexity
M (Medium): 1-2 days, single person, moderate complexity
L (Large): 3-5 days, may need multiple people, high complexity
XL (Extra Large): > 1 week, needs breakdown into smaller tasks

Status Indicators

📋 Not Started
🏗️ In Progress
⏸️ Paused / Blocked
✅ Done
❌ Cancelled

Decision Making Framework

When making significant decisions:

Document the context - Why is this decision needed?
List options - What are all reasonable alternatives?
Evaluate trade-offs - Pros/cons of each option
Make the decision - Choose and document rationale
Track consequences - Note expected impacts
Review periodically - Validate or deprecate decisions
