# Documentation Policy

## Purpose

This policy defines how architectural knowledge is captured and maintained.

## Mandatory Rules

- Record every architecture decision in the Bible before or together with implementation.
- Use English for all architecture documentation.
- Keep only current architecture in active sections.
- When a solution is replaced, update or remove obsolete guidance in the same change.
- Keep architecture details centralized in `bible/`; other top-level docs should only reference it.

## Change Workflow

1. Update the relevant file(s) in `bible/architecture/`.
2. If behavior changed, add or update a decision note in `bible/decisions/`.
3. Remove duplicated or outdated statements from non-Bible docs.
4. Validate consistency against current code paths.
