Turns the design doc into an ordered, dependency-correct build plan (phases 0-9) with an exit criterion per phase, and records the twelve architectural decisions it rests on as ADRs. Decisions: single Rust binary with routed compose services; Streamable HTTP only; per-agent bearer tokens with clientInfo as a display hint only; SQLite; get_rules delivered via session gating; full-document rule delivery; project_id from day one; enforcement tier scoped to Bridle-mediated actions; stable tool list on upstream failure; OpenAI-compatible embeddings with model/dim guarding; pattern RAG gated behind a spike; CLAUDE.md + AGENTS.md as v1 renderer targets. Deviates from the design doc's original 1-8 ordering by moving the audit log and multi-project schema into phase 1, building the admin API incrementally rather than all at the Web Panel phase, downgrading vendor guardrail sourcing to manual-first, and gating the pattern-example RAG behind a validation spike.

ADR-0010: Generic OpenAI-compatible embeddings with model/dimension guarding
Status: Accepted (2026-08-08)
Context
The design doc specified embeddings generated locally via LM Studio on an RTX 3060. Hard-coding that makes the entire memory subsystem depend on one service and one GPU box being up. Separately, the choice of embedding model pins the vector dimensionality of a Qdrant collection — changing models silently corrupts a collection or forces a full reindex, and neither should happen by accident.
Decision
Target a generic OpenAI-compatible embeddings endpoint, configured by EMBEDDING_URL,
EMBEDDING_MODEL, and EMBEDDING_DIM. LM Studio, Ollama, and text-embeddings-inference all
satisfy this.
Record {model, dim, created_at} in each Qdrant collection's metadata. On any write, compare the
configured model and dimension against the collection's recorded values; on mismatch, refuse the
write and flag that a reindex is required.
Consequences
- The 3060 is no longer a hard single point of failure; users may point at whatever they run.
- Changing embedding models becomes a loud, explicit reindex rather than silent corruption.
- Slightly more configuration surface than hard-coding LM Studio.
- Bundling a small CPU embedding container as a compose profile default remains available later to improve the out-of-box experience for new adopters.
