RFCs

GloriousFlywheel does not currently maintain a large standalone RFC archive.

Instead, active architecture decisions live as:

  • short public decision summaries here
  • focused GitHub issues
  • deeper supporting notes in docs/research/

Snapshot date: 2026-04-19

Use Cleanup Program when the question is sequencing or workstream structure rather than architecture boundary.

In Effect

These decisions are already part of the current repo and runtime contract:

  • honey is the only physical cluster target
  • GitHub is the primary forge surface
  • GitLab and Codeberg are compatibility surfaces, not equal-maturity control planes
  • Nix bootstrap on self-hosted Nix lanes is workflow-owned
  • ARC scales runner count horizontally, not one runner pod’s memory envelope
  • heavy Rust and Nix workloads should use tinyland-nix-heavy
  • Attic and Bazel are acceleration layers, not publication surfaces
  • FlakeHub is not part of the active runtime or bootstrap contract
  • release tags publish the tagged flake and the documented GHCR image set
  • forge adapter boundaries are documented in Forge Adapter Matrix

Recently Landed RFC Lanes

#215: FlakeHub Publication And Discovery

This boundary is now landed in the primary docs:

  • FlakeHub remains a publication and discovery surface, not runtime/bootstrap
  • release-tag scope is documented in Release Baseline
  • builder-side publication guidance lives in the clean-derivation and release notes, not in the runtime contract

#211: GitHub-First Product Boundary

This boundary is now landed in the primary docs:

#213: Honey Runner Workspace Hygiene

This boundary is now landed in the primary docs:

  • honey hosts may be long-lived, but _work/<repo> trees are disposable scratch
  • bounded audit and remediation now live in the operator-facing runbook, troubleshooting guide, and justfile reference
  • lifecycle and escalation rules now live in Honey Runner Workdir Contract

Active Execution Lanes

There are no remaining repo-level sprint execution lanes in the canonical docs. Follow-on benchmark expansion and longer-tail platform work now live in backlog and product-positioning lanes instead of active sprint closeout.
