ADR-012 accepted 2026-08-25.

ADR-010 — partially superseded, notes added inline:
  decision 1: "a reading of the repositories" never said which copy, and the
    answer was neither the forge nor a working copy but whichever checkout last
    synced. The hub holds no repository files and never reads one.
  decision 5: "central derives, does not accept pushes" was policy while the
    workstation pushed everything.
  decision 6: "preliminary" was named but never built.

ADR-003 — partially superseded:
  decision 2: fingerprints composed from filesystem mtime are invalidated in
    part. mtime is a property of one workstation, differs across clones, and
    says nothing about content. Evidence: git_fingerprint for the-custodian
    held the initial commit while last_state_synced_at was minutes old.
  decision 5: the rebuild principle was correct but never exercised, and its
    "without data loss" claim holds only while nothing exists solely in the hub
    — which was false for 111 records on 2026-08-25.

ADR-001, ADR-005, ADR-007 and ADR-011 reviewed and unaffected; ADR-007 is
reinforced, since derived identifiers let an overlay and a forge-derived
projection compute the same identity.

Per ADR-001, the state-hub must be rebuildable from scratch by re-ingesting
all canonical sources. Materialised tables are **caches**, not records of
authority. They may be wiped and repopulated at any time without data loss.

This means:
- No materialised table may be the only copy of any information.
- Schema migrations that wipe a materialised table are safe and expected.

Mitigation is by changing the repository files and the local cache — never by
editing central to match a local view.

Combined with `ADR-007` decision 2 (identifiers derived from `PREFIX-WP-NNNN`),
"preliminary" largely stops mattering: a cache computes the same identifier
central will, so offline-registered data is already correct on arrival and needs

- **`ADR-010`** — decisions 1 and 5 are sharpened, not reversed: central still
derives and still does not accept pushes of derived state. Decision 6's
"preliminary" gains a mechanism. The local-cache-versus-database framing stands.
- **`ADR-003`** — partially superseded. Decision 2 composes fingerprints from
filesystem `mtime`, which is a property of one workstation rather than of the
source; under decision 1 here the input is the commit. Decision 5 already
stated the rebuild principle correctly but had never been exercised; decision 7
here makes it an operation with a source, a scope and a verification.
- **`ADR-007`** — derived identifiers become more valuable here: a forge-derived
projection and a preliminary overlay compute the same identifier for the same
record, so absorbing an overlay entry needs no reconciliation.
