Project-Specific Recommendations & Overrides

This file is the project-specific layer on top of the generic template.
Humans and AI agents should treat it as the single place to record locked decisions, non‑negotiable constraints, and intentional deviations from docs/ guidance.

Update this file whenever you make a decision that changes the stack, scope, constraints, or any recommendation in docs/.

Current phase: Phase 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4
Repos/services in scope: [monorepo, separate FE/BE, workers, etc.]

2. Locked Stack Decisions (override template here)

If a choice is not listed here, the default recommendations in docs/ apply.
