+# Architecture walkthrough — <case>
+
+Status: planned | drafted | reviewed
+Case and corpus revision:
+Author / reviewer / date:
+Synthetic brief or observed repository (URL and revision):
+
+## Fixed brief and assumptions
+
+Include authority, latency, offline, concurrency, accessibility, security, privacy,
+performance and recovery constraints. Mark unspecified requirements explicitly.
+
+## Baseline narrative without the pattern catalog
+
+Describe a plausible architecture and its trade-offs for comparison.
+
+## Decisions
+
+| Order | Context and forces | Pattern references | Alternatives and rejection reasons | Resulting context | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+
+## Change one constraint
+
+State the change and trace its impact through the decisions and pattern relations.
+
+## Failure and recovery
+
+Describe stale reads, rejected mutations, interruption and partial failure as applicable.
+
+## Review
+
+| Criterion | Pass / revise / unknown | Evidence and reason |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Traceability | | |
+| Coherence of configuration | | |
+| Decision usefulness beyond baseline | | |
+| Quality constraints | | |
+| Changed-constraint branch | | |
+
+## Gaps and follow-up
+
+Record missing patterns, invalid relations, ordering failures and work record links.
