📝 docs(adr): homogenize 23 ADRs + rewrite README (Tâche 7 migration) (#18)

## Summary Homogenize all 23 ADRs to a single canonical header format, and rewrite `adr/README.md` to match the actual state of the corpus. This is **Tâche 7** of the ARCODANGE Phase 1 migration (Claude Code → Mistral Vibe). Independent from PR #17 (Tâche 6 — restructure AGENTS.md) — both can merge in any order. No code changes; only documentation. ## Changes ### 1. Homogenize 21 ADR headers (commit `db09d0a`) The audit (Tâche 6 Phase A, Mistral intent-router agent, 2026-05-02) had identified **3 inconsistent header formats** : - **F1** — list bullets (`* Status:` / `* Date:` / `* Deciders:`) : 11 ADRs (0001-0008, 0011, 0014, 0023) - **F2** — bold fields (`**Status:**` / `**Date:**` / `**Authors:**`) : 9 ADRs (0009, 0010, 0012, 0013, 0015, 0016, 0017, 0018, 0019) - **F3** — dedicated section (`## Status\n**Value** ✅`) : 5 ADRs (0020, 0021, 0022, 0024, 0025) Plus mixed metadata names (Authors / Deciders / Decision Date / Implementation Date / Implementation Status / Last Updated) and decorative emojis on status values made the corpus hard to scan or template against. **Canonical format adopted** (see `adr/README.md` for full template) : ```markdown # NN. Title **Status:** <Proposed | Accepted | Implemented | Partially Implemented | Approved | Rejected | Deferred | Deprecated | Superseded by ADR-NNNN> **Date:** YYYY-MM-DD **Authors:** Name(s) [optional **Field:** ... lines] ## Context... ``` **Transformations applied** (via `/tmp/homogenize-adrs.py` script, 23 files scanned, 21 modified — 0010 and 0012 were already conform) : - F1 list bullets → bold fields - F2 cleanup : `**Deciders:**` → `**Authors:**`, strip status emojis - F3 sections : `## Status\n**Value** ✅` → `**Status:** Value` (single line) - Strip decorative emojis from `**Status:**` and `**Implementation Status:**` - Convert `* Last Updated:` / `* Implementation Status:` / `* Decision Drivers:` / `* Decision Date:` to bold - Date typo fix : `2024-04-XX` → `2026-04-XX` for ADRs 0018, 0019 (off-by-2-years in original) - Normalize multiple blank lines after header (max 1) **ADR body content is preserved unchanged.** Only headers transformed. ### 2. Rewrite `adr/README.md` (commit `d64ab02`) Previous README had multiple inconsistencies : - Index table listed wrong titles for ADRs 0010-0021 (looked like an aspirational forecast that never matched reality — e.g. "0011 = Trunk-Based Development" but real 0011 is absent and Trunk-Based Development is actually 0017) - Listed entries for ADRs 0011 (validation library) and 0014 (gRPC) but **these files do not exist** in the repo - 0024 (BDD Test Organization) was missing from the detail list - Template still showed the obsolete F1 format (`* Status:`) - Decorative emojis on every status entry Rewrite : - Index table **regenerated from actual file contents** (title from H1, status from `**Status:**` line) — emoji-free, accurate - Notes that 0011 / 0014 are not currently in use (reserved) - Updated template block matches the canonical format - Status Legend extended with `Approved`, `Partially Implemented`, `Deferred` - Added note that 0026 is the next free number for new ADRs ## Test plan - [x] All 23 ADRs follow `**Status:**` / `**Date:**` / `**Authors:**` (verified via grep) - [x] No more occurrences of `* Status:` (F1) or `## Status` (F3) in any ADR header - [x] No more emojis on `**Status:**` lines - [x] `adr/README.md` index links resolve to existing files (no more 0011 / 0014 dead links) - [x] Pre-commit hooks pass (`go mod tidy`, `go fmt`, `swag fmt`) ## Migration context Part of Phase 1 of the ARCODANGE migration from Claude Code to Mistral Vibe. Tâche 7 of the curriculum. Independent from PR #17 (which restructures `AGENTS.md`). The two PRs touch disjoint files — no merge conflict expected when both are merged. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) (Opus 4.7, 1M context). Mistral Vibe (intent-router agent / mistral-medium-3.5) did the original audit identifying the 3 formats during Tâche 6 Phase A.

 ## What is an ADR?

-An ADR is a document that captures an important architectural decision made along with its context and consequences.
+An ADR is a document capturing one significant architectural decision: the **context** that motivated it, the **decision** itself, and its **consequences**. ADRs are append-only — once published, an ADR is not edited (except for typo / status updates). New decisions that supersede previous ones are recorded as new ADRs that explicitly link back.

-## Format
+## Canonical Format

-Each ADR follows this structure:
+All ADRs follow the canonical format below (homogenized 2026-05-03):

 ```markdown
-# [Short title is a few words]
