🐛 fix(bdd): exclude @v2 scenarios from default BDD test runs

The 4 v2 scenarios in greet.feature require special config (FEATURE=greet GODOG_TAGS=@v2) to enable the v2 endpoint via shouldEnableV2(). Without that config, all v2 scenarios fail with "v2 endpoint not available". Two fixes: 1. Tag the 3 untagged v2 scenarios with @v2 @api (one already had it, others were missing tags) 2. Extend DEFAULT_TAGS in run-bdd-tests.sh to exclude @v2 This makes the default BDD test run pass on CI without v2 setup. v2 scenarios can still be run explicitly with: FEATURE=greet GODOG_TAGS=@v2 go test ./features/greet/... Companion to PR #26 (BDD_SCHEMA_ISOLATION) - both target CI green. 🤖 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
🐛 fix(ci): enable BDD_SCHEMA_ISOLATION to prevent flaky AuthBDD failures (#26 )

 ## 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):

-## How to Add a New ADR
-
-1. Create a new file with the next available number (e.g., `0010-new-decision.md`)
-2. Follow the template format
-3. Update this README.md with the new ADR
-4. Commit the changes
-
 ## Status Legend

-* **Proposed**: Decision is being discussed
-* **Accepted**: Decision has been made and implemented
-* **Deprecated**: Decision is no longer relevant
-* **Superseded**: Decision has been replaced by another ADR
+| Status | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| **Proposed** | Decision is being discussed; no implementation yet. |
+| **Accepted** | Decision has been made; implementation may be pending or in progress. |
+| **Approved** | Same as Accepted; alternative term used in some legacy ADRs. |
+| **Implemented** | Decision is fully implemented and in production. |
+| **Partially Implemented** | Decision is partly implemented; remainder is deferred or pending. |
+| **Rejected** | Decision considered and explicitly rejected. The ADR documents why. |
+| **Deferred** | Decision postponed; revisit later. |
+| **Deprecated** | Decision is no longer relevant; system has moved on. |
+| **Superseded by ADR-NNNN** | Decision has been replaced by another ADR. Always include the link. |
+
+## How to Add a New ADR
+
+1. Pick the next available number (currently next would be `0026`).
+2. Copy an existing ADR (e.g., `0001-go-1.26.1-standard.md`) as a starting template.
+3. Edit the title, status, date, authors, and content.
+4. Update this `README.md` index with the new ADR.
+5. Commit using gitmoji convention (e.g., `📝 docs(adr): add ADR-0026 about ...`).
+6. Open a PR for review.

Without that config, all v2 scenarios fail with "v2 endpoint not available". Two fixes: 1. Tag the 3 untagged v2 scenarios with @v2 @api (one already had it, others were missing tags) 2. Extend DEFAULT_TAGS in run-bdd-tests.sh to exclude @v2 This makes the default BDD test run pass on CI without v2 setup. v2 scenarios can still be run explicitly with: FEATURE=greet GODOG_TAGS=@v2 go test ./features/greet/...

Gabriel Radureau	a24b4fdb3b	📝 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\nValue ✅`) : 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\nValue ✅` → `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.
