jakman85andClaude Opus 5.5 18f7ba8d0f docs: apply the operator's rulings on Kasm, revocation and fault injection
Retire Kasm from the catalog. Drop ACME revocation from R-TLS-02. Make L3
fault injection operator-run and exclude it from the merge gate (R-TEST-03,
ADR-0026). Update the gap register to match; Homepage authentication is now
ruled must-enforce and stays a gap until the implementation lands.

Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)

ADRs are an append-only ledger of the significant technology and pattern choices for this platform. Each records the context, the decision, the rejected alternatives, and the requirements it serves. Do not edit an accepted decision in place — supersede it with a new ADR.

ADRs are specifications and are immutable to AI agents (R-TEST-06). Agents may draft a proposed ADR and escalate it, but only the human operator/architect approves/accepts or edits ADRs. See ../AGENTS.md §3 and §11.

These ADRs are not the implementation's handoff log. The dated files in the implementation repo's decisions/ directory record what each change did and how it was verified. ADRs here record locked technology and pattern choices.

Partial supersession. When a new ADR replaces only part of an accepted one, the older ADR stays Accepted and its Status line names the clause superseded (the ADR-0013 precedent).

Process (read before proposing a change)

  1. To change a decision, create a new ADR with the next number and set Status: Proposed, Supersedes: ADR-XXXX. (Agents draft + escalate; the human approves.)
  2. State what new information invalidates the old decision.
  3. On approval, set the new ADR Accepted and the old one Superseded by: ADR-YYYY.
  4. Never silently re-interpret an accepted ADR (see ../AGENTS.md §3).

Template

# ADR-XXXX — <title>
- Status: Proposed | Accepted | Superseded by ADR-YYYY
- Date: <YYYY-MM-DD>
- Serves: <requirement IDs, e.g. R-NET-01, R-NET-06>
- Supersedes: <ADR-ZZZZ or —>

## Context
<forces, constraints, why a decision is needed>

## Decision
<what we chose, stated decisively>

## Alternatives considered
<options and why rejected>

## Consequences
<positive, negative, follow-ups, risks>
