- **Status:** Proposed | Accepted | Deprecated | Superseded by [ADR-XXXX](XXXX-...)
- **Date:** YYYY-MM-DD

## Context

The forces at play: the technical situation, the constraints, and the problem that requires a decision. State the facts neutrally. What makes this choice non-obvious or hard to reverse later?

## Decision

The choice that was made, stated in the active, present tense ("The engine uses …", "Worldgen seeds from …"). One decision per record.

## Consequences

What becomes easier and what becomes harder as a result. Include the trade-offs accepted, the follow-on work implied, and anything a future contributor must keep true for the decision to remain valid.
