The framework audit found this missing. Acknowledging known findings is a process
decision about how the alarm system treats exceptions, and AGENTS.md is explicit
that documenting an exception instead of deciding it is itself the error. It lived
only inside #0104 and #0105, which are issues, not decision records.
The ADR carries the reasoning the issues could not: why option C beat working the
backlog down first or tolerating red, and why the obvious objection - an exception
list is a candidate for the next blind spot - is answered by the three rules rather
than waved away. It also records what is deliberately not acknowledged, the
transient mirror divergence, because that message is the only signal if a mirror
truly stops.
One consequence is stated plainly rather than discovered later: acknowledgements
bind to substrings of the finding text, so fixing or moving a cause can change the
wording and require the entry to follow. Stable finding IDs would avoid that and
would make the file unreadable without special knowledge; the trade is taken
knowingly.
