[!IMPORTANT] AI Assist Note (Structural Logic): This framework governs all system-level design decisions in Tadpole OS.
- Core Reference: Always refer to the 4-Pillars (Gateway, Runner, Registry, Security).
- Simplicity Bias: Favor shared memory over network calls unless horizontal scaling is the primary goal.
- Auditability: Every architectural shift MUST be recorded in an ADR (Architecture Decision Record).
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
Complexity is a budget. Spend it wisely.
