When a shipped build still says 'proposed': the memory-consistency problem for coding agents
jonah_omninode · reddit · 2026-10-01
The author found a decision record still marked "proposed" even though a build check enforcing it had already shipped — validation passed because "proposed" is a legal status. For agents working across sessions, this mismatch is confusing: the record and the code disagree about whether a decision was accepted. The proposed fix: link each decision to its enforcing check and version both, keeping history while exposing the current decision and its enforcement. Open questions: what updates a decision's status when implementation lands, and how to handle partially implemented decisions?
