ADR-049 Conflict Alert

Two open PRs are both attempting to create ADR-049 with different, potentially contradictory content. This will cause a merge conflict and represents an architectural decision conflict.

Conflicting PRs

PR #10009docs/adr/ADR-049-cli-communication-pattern.md

  • Title: docs(spec): fix invariant reconciliation, add ACMS thread safety, v3.6.0 section, ADR-049
  • Branch: spec/auto-arch-23-spec-updates
  • ADR Content: CLI communication pattern — documents that local CLI is exempt from the A2A boundary requirement, with an import-linter configuration and M9 migration path to full A2A adoption
  • Architectural stance: CLI can bypass A2A boundary (exemption)

PR #10052docs/adr/ADR-049-a2a-boundary-enforcement.md

  • Title: docs(spec): add ADR-049 and layer boundary enforcement specification [AUTO-ARCH-24]
  • Branch: spec/auto-arch-24-a2a-boundary-enforcement-adr
  • ADR Content: A2A boundary enforcement — documents that A2A is the sole communication channel between Presentation and Application layers, with all direct imports forbidden
  • Architectural stance: Strict A2A enforcement (no exemptions)

Why This Is Critical

  1. Contradictory decisions: PR #10009 says CLI can bypass A2A; PR #10052 says CLI cannot bypass A2A. These are mutually exclusive architectural stances.
  2. Same ADR number: Both claim ADR-049, so only one can exist.
  3. Merge conflict: If either PR is merged, the other will have a conflict on the ADR file.
  4. Spec integrity: The specification cannot have contradictory architectural decisions.

Required Human Action

A human architect needs to:

  1. Decide the architectural stance: Should CLI be exempt from A2A boundary, or should strict enforcement apply?
  2. Choose which PR to merge: Based on the decision, select the appropriate PR.
  3. Renumber or close the other PR: The rejected ADR should either be renumbered (ADR-050?) or closed.
  4. Update issue #9962: The architectural violation issue should be resolved consistently with the decision.

  • PR #10009: docs(spec): fix invariant reconciliation, add ACMS thread safety, v3.6.0 section, ADR-049
  • PR #10052: docs(spec): add ADR-049 and layer boundary enforcement specification [AUTO-ARCH-24]

URGENT: Human Decision Required — ADR-049 Architectural Conflict

This is a critical architectural conflict that requires an immediate human decision. Two open PRs are claiming the same ADR number (ADR-049) with mutually exclusive architectural stances.

The Conflict

PR #10009 PR #10052
ADR file ADR-049-cli-communication-pattern.md ADR-049-a2a-boundary-enforcement.md
Stance CLI is exempt from A2A boundary A2A is the sole communication channel — no exemptions
Author Architecture agent [AUTO-ARCH-23] Architecture agent [AUTO-ARCH-24]
Created 2026-04-16T12:10Z 2026-04-16T19:34Z

Why This Cannot Be Resolved Automatically

This is a fundamental architectural decision about whether the CLI layer can directly import from the Application layer:

  • Option A (PR #10009): Allow CLI exemption with a migration path to full A2A in M9. This is pragmatic but creates a known boundary violation.
  • Option B (PR #10052): Enforce strict A2A boundaries immediately. This is architecturally clean but requires fixing 83+ existing CLI imports.

Both options are valid architectural choices, but they cannot coexist. A human architect must decide.

  1. Review both PRs:

  2. Choose the architectural stance that aligns with the project's current priorities

  3. Comment on this issue with your decision:

    • "Approve PR #10009 (CLI exemption)" — or —
    • "Approve PR #10052 (strict enforcement)"
  4. The rejected PR should be closed or renumbered to ADR-050

Impact of Delay

Both PRs are currently blocked with Needs Feedback labels. The autonomous agent system will not merge either PR until a human decision is made. However, the conflict will continue to exist and may cause confusion for other agents working on related issues.

Timeout: If no response is received within 48 hours (by 2026-04-18T20:18Z), the Human Liaison Supervisor will post a reminder and escalate further.
