liquidraverandClaude Opus 5.5 9fc1eaf18a docs: publish the system design and architecture decision records
DESIGN.md is the reconciled high-level design after the 2026-09 restructure:
system context, roles, build-time composition, layers and dependency rules
(with the known exceptions), threading and event loop, end-to-end flows,
cross-cutting concerns and the upstream alignment policy. docs/adr/ holds the
nine decision records (ESP32 boot layout, S3 native USB, overlay precedence,
BLE privacy, Zephyr main pin, SX126x duty cycle and RX-busy gating, adaptive
contention window, storage backend, WiFi companion boards).
ARCHITECTURE.md stays the detailed component reference and links both.

Architecture decision records

One decision per file: Context / Decision / Consequences / Status. Recorded 2026-09-25 at the end of the restructure; most describe decisions taken earlier. The system view is in ../DESIGN.md.

# Decision
0001 ESP32 boot: simple boot for plain builds, MCUboot for OTA builds and releases
0002 ESP32-S3 companions use native USB; start dfu restores USB-Serial-JTAG
0003 Devicetree overlays: board.overlay first, conf-paired after it
0004 BLE privacy off on nRF/MG24, on for ESP32-S3 (identity advertising)
0005 Track Zephyr main, pinned; the migration changes not to undo
0006 SX126x RX duty cycle and four-layer RX-busy gating
0007 Adaptive contention window instead of static tx/rx delays
0008 Storage layout, power-loss writes, BLE bonds in NVS
0009 WiFi companion boards and contact counts
