The problem
The reasoning behind a change deserves to be durable.
When work moves fast — and especially when an agent works ahead — the choices that steer it get made in passing: which approach, which trade-off, what to leave for later. Those forks are the reasoning that shapes everything downstream, and they're worth keeping somewhere more durable than a chat thread.
How it works
Enumerated, classified, resolved.
Cerebe records the consequential decisions behind a change and classifies each one — by how reversible it is, and who should own it. Each decision is then answered, with who decided and on what basis, or deferred to a recorded safe default. Anything still open stays visible until it's resolved, so the reasoning is carried into the work and reviewed alongside the change rather than left implicit.
- Each consequential decision is enumerated and classified by how reversible it is and who should own it.
- An answered decision records who decided and on what basis.
- A deferred decision names the safe default it falls back to.
- Open decisions stay visible until they're resolved, and the rationale is reviewed alongside the change.
