Christian PillsburyandClaude Opus 4.8 f531e1055c docs(spf): decide the single presentation-level live timeline anchor
Capture the decision to hold one rolling (media-time ↔ PDT) anchor — learned
from the first A/V track to obtain SourceBuffer ground truth and applied to all
selected tracks (incl. text) by per-segment PDT — replacing today's per-track
buffer pins, which are redundant under the no-skew assumption and can't anchor
text (no SourceBuffer). New decision doc live-presentation-anchor.md; resolves
the deferred single-rolling-anchor question in live-timeline-anchoring and
promotes [4] in live-presentation-modeling to presentation-level.

Decisions

ADR-style records of single tactical decisions.

What Belongs Here

A decision doc captures one specific choice: what was decided, why, and what was ruled out. Keep them short and focused — usually one page.

Write one when:

  • You picked one approach over another and want the reasoning on record.
  • A decision depends on or supersedes an earlier one (link across docs).
  • You want future contributors to understand why the code is the way it is.

Decisions vs Design Docs

Use a design doc (internal/design/) when you're specifying architecture, a feature, or a subsystem — forward-looking, often longer, status ranges from draftdecidedimplementedsuperseded.

Use a decision doc here when you're recording a single trade-off within that work — short, always status: decided.

A design doc often spawns several decision docs as implementation choices get made.
