Program context
This PR starts the SmokedMeat modernization program, a continuing sequence of bounded, behavior-preserving architecture deepening iterations. It establishes the repository foundations needed to run that program consistently; it is not itself a production refactor and does not represent the whole program.
Program child: Establish agent engineering foundations for iterative modernization
Initial PR stack
Review and merge this PR before PR 94. Later Wayfinder and implementation work will be tracked separately according to the program's native child issues and dependency relationships.
Outcome
CONTEXT.mddocs/adr/What changed
Why
The repository mixed durable engineering constraints, operational reference material, and stale planning documents in files every coding agent had to load. This change creates a concise entry point, progressive disclosure for specialized work, and one source of truth for public issues and maintainer-owned roadmap ideas.
These foundations support the program guardrails: use canonical domain language, record hard-to-reverse decisions as ADRs, verify in proportion to risk, and keep each modernization iteration independently reviewable.
Impact
Production behavior is unchanged. Coding agents receive less irrelevant context while retaining the repository's non-negotiable rules. Contributors continue using GitHub Issues, while maintainer-owned roadmap ideas remain in the project instead of accumulating as public issues or repository task files.
