Problem
decisions.md has no compact summary. Agents must read the full file. An index inside the file fights the union merge driver (Scribe rewrites a section = mutable-in-place on an append-only file).
From
Flight review of #20 (A2 critique), Procedures review of #20.
Proposed
- Scribe generates
decisions-index.md as a SEPARATE file (not inside decisions.md)
- Index format: compact table with Date | Topic | Status | By | Domain
- Regenerated wholesale on every Scribe merge (not append-only — full rewrite is safe)
- Spawn prompts reference the index for lightweight context
- Agents read index only; full decisions.md available on-demand
- Enables degraded mode: if decisions.md >50KB, agents read index only
Benefits
- Union merge safe (index is regenerated, not appended)
- ~2KB overhead vs ~86K for full file
- Enables coordinator filtering (issue TBD)
