# Decision Queue and Definition-of-Ready

RStack treats unresolved product, architecture, security, budget, scope, and delivery choices as first-class run artifacts instead of hidden conversation context.

## Why this improves AI-SDLC reliability

Research-backed AI-SDLC systems reduce ambiguity before execution. Augment Code's AI-SDLC reference architecture highlights orchestration, observability, and governance layers, while comparable decision-engine patterns show that operator decisions are cheaper and safer before build work starts. RStack adapts that into auditable `.rstack` files so agents do not make expensive mid-build guesses.

## Artifacts

```text theme={null}
.rstack/runs/<run-id>/decisions.json
.rstack/runs/<run-id>/dor-report.json
.rstack/runs/<run-id>/readiness.json
```

## CLI

```bash theme={null}
rstack-agents decisions --project .
rstack-agents dor --project .
```

## Runtime behavior

* `business-flex` defaults to warning / approval mode.
* `enterprise-webapp` defaults to blocking mode.
* Pending required decisions block build preparation only when the active profile is blocking.
* Resolved and waived decisions both satisfy the readiness gate, but waived decisions stay visible in audit data.
