Thanks for the pushback — genuinely fair.

This is still just markdown in the repo. The Action doesn’t replace ADRs, it just surfaces the relevant ones automatically in PRs so reviewers don’t have to remember to look for them.

In teams where people consistently check ADRs, this probably isn’t useful.

In teams where the ADR exists but nobody remembers it during review, this helps reduce that friction.

And yeah — the Mongo example was dramatized. The real version was just re-explaining a past decision in a design doc. Not catastrophic, just wasted cycles.

Appreciate the sanity check.
