goodolclint-claude[bot] b90791e2bf docs: migrate DECISIONS.md to house-format ADRs, and retire the review folder (#131)
D001-D021 become ADR 0001-0021 in docs/decisions/, one decision per file.
D017's PESTER_VERSION amendment was a second decision in one entry and becomes
ADR 0022. ADR 0023 records the migration and reverses the lane2-change-plan
ruling that deliberately kept DECISIONS.md until the CI lane work landed.

DECISIONS.md is reduced to a stub with a D-to-ADR redirect table, so the four
released CHANGELOG entries and older issue bodies that cite it degrade to a
redirect rather than a dead reference.

docs/review/ and docs/lane2-change-plan.md are deleted (ADR 0024). Of 91
findings, 83 were resolved and six of the seven still open were already GitHub
issues; F021 was the exception and is now #130.

CLAUDE.md's Key Conventions list gains the two rules it was missing and becomes
the checklist, with the ADRs carrying rationale.

ADR 0011 — Verb class constants required for cmdlet attributes

  • Status: Accepted
  • Date: 2026-03-21
  • Deciders: unrecorded; adopted during review scan 2026-03-21
  • Context source: docs/review/findings.json F009

Context

Reset-PveVm declared [Cmdlet("Reset", ...)] with a string literal while every other cmdlet used the verb constants. "Reset" is an approved verb, so nothing was broken — but a typo in that position produces a cmdlet with an unapproved verb, which surfaces only as a module-load warning.

Decision

Every [Cmdlet] attribute names its verb through the verb classes — VerbsCommon, VerbsLifecycle and the rest — never as a string literal.

[Cmdlet(VerbsCommon.Reset, "PveVm")]

Rejected alternatives

The string literal. It compiles, reads identically, and moves verb validation from the compiler to a runtime warning nobody reads:

[Cmdlet("Reset", "PveVm")]

Consequences

The noun half is still a string literal and gets no such protection; the Pve prefix convention is enforced by review, not by the compiler.
