UN-GGCE ToR2 Decision Log (Shared Memory)

This document acts as the authoritative record of strategic decisions, architectural pivots, and stakeholder approvals throughout the ToR2 consulting engagement. All agents (systems-architect, geodetic-researcher, risk-analyst, knowledge-graph-engineer, quality-assurance, and technical-writer) MUST read this file to understand the current context and history of the project.

Instructions for Agents

  • READ ONLY: Treat this as a source of truth for current project status and strategic direction.
  • DO NOT MODIFY: Only the lead consultant (Human) or the primary orchestrator (Gemini CLI) should update this file after a decision is finalized.

2026-03-23: Project Setup & Infrastructure

  • Decision: All OTel telemetry logs will be stored locally at /home/ben/.gemini/telemetry.log on the 1TB server drive to avoid Google Drive sync conflicts and maintain a permanent decision trace.
  • Decision: A Context Graph Data Fabric using RDF-Star and SHACL 1.2 will be the primary architecture for tracking and validating the "Basic Global Geodesy Supply Chain."
  • Decision: A specialized technical-writer agent has been created to ensure all deliverables match the formal UN-GGCE style established in the "State of Geodesy 2026" report.
  • Decision: This decisions.md log will serve as the shared "Drop-box" memory for all agents to ensure consistency across the five work assignments.

2026-03-23: Work Assignment 1 - Principles Selection

  • Strategic Pivot (QA Mandate): The quality-assurance agent rejected the initial "best-effort" architectural approach. It is now a mandatory requirement that all "Basic Supply Chain" definitions move beyond scientific cooperation to formalized long-term operational agreements (SLAs/MOUs).
  • Strategic Pivot (QA Mandate): All data nodes must strictly adhere to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles as defined in JDP Objective 1.2.
  • Strategic Pivot (QA Mandate): Workforce resilience, including mandated succession planning and knowledge transfer, is now a non-negotiable PPTD requirement for any node to be included in the "critical path."

2026-03-24: Deliverables Portal & CI/CD Pipeline

  • Decision: VitePress is the official static site generator for the UN-GGCE Deliverables Portal, providing a high-performance documentation experience.
  • Decision: The portal is deployed via Docker on Google Cloud Run, utilizing a dedicated build/sync pipeline (sync-docs.sh) for rapid deployment of consulting outputs.
  • Decision: All geodetic workflows and capability models must use Mermaid.js syntax enclosed in standard Markdown (.md) files to ensure proper rendering in the portal.
  • Decision: Raw .mmd files in the outputs/ folder are considered source assets and must be mirrored into Markdown wrappers for publication.
