Managing ADRs

When asked to list or review ADRs:

  • List issues with label=ADR
  • Show their status (Proposed/Accepted/Deprecated)
  • Fetch the linked document for full details if requested

When asked to update an ADR:

  • Update both the issue and the document
  • Add a comment on the issue noting the change
