The author argues that documenting decision outcomes (e.g., 'chose Postgres locks') without the original constraints (e.g., 'avoided Redis dependency') renders future reviews ineffective. To solve this, the author built 'daimon' (Apache 2.0), a system that 'pins' exact transcript quotes separately from agent inferences. It aims to preserve the reasoning chain without the noise of full transcripts or the information loss of summaries.
