So rac doesn’t merge ADRs or infer that soft-deletes survive… supercession is managed by the status on one ADR saying Superseeded, and the other saying Supersedes. This is enforced by the CI pipelines you can use (GitHub, etc)

I think your example is a bit more of a modelling question, and if soft-delete must outlive the uniqueness decision it should be its own requirement that’s persisted as RAC guarantees the graph stays consistent and current; it doesn’t guess which clause survives — that’s the users call.

Gooot it, I was thinking there would be some merging happening, but that would be the task for an LLM I suppose :D Mental model fixed!

No worries, clearly better documentation would help!
