Field notes

Decision gates, written down after the fact, in enough detail that someone outside this repo can use them. A field note is not a changelog entry. It exists when a choice was genuinely hard, when the measurement that settled it is worth showing, or when the honest answer cost something.

Cinder runs no analytics and loads nothing from anyone else. Reading a note sets no cookie, saves nothing about you in your browser, and leaves Cinder no record of who read what. Your browser caches this site's own files so it opens offline, and the delivery network in front of it sees the request the way any web server must in order to answer it.
