Documentation Maintenance
When changing behavior, architecture, or user-facing workflows, update documentation in the same task. Do not defer documentation updates for implemented work.
Use docs/README.md as the documentation map and keep each fact in one home:
| Change type | Update |
|---|---|
| Architecture, crate boundaries, or sim/network split | New or updated ADR in docs/adr/ |
| Editor framework intent, principles, or non-goals | docs/mission.md |
| Editor feature design or phase status | docs/editor/ |
| User controls, run commands, or troubleshooting | Root README.md |
| Shipped feature completion | Root README.md implementation checklist |
| Bevy upgrade policy | ADR 0002 and migration notes in docs/adr/ |
| Milestone scope before implementation | .cursor/plans/ plan file |
Create an ADR in docs/adr/NNNN-short-title.md when a decision is hard to reverse or affects multiple crates, such as rendering path, scene format, PIE semantics, settings schema, or netcode choice. Use this format: Status, Context, Decision, Consequences. Number ADRs sequentially and link new ADRs from docs/README.md and the root README when relevant.
Coherence rules:
- One home per fact. Link across docs; do not copy paragraphs between README, mission, and ADRs.
- Intent vs implementation: mission/ADRs explain why, README explains how to use, crate module docs explain local API.
- Plans vs permanent docs:
.cursor/plans/holds working roadmaps; promote stable decisions intodocs/when implemented. - Stale docs are bugs. If code contradicts docs, fix both or fix docs in the same PR/task.
- New subsystems get a short entry in
docs/README.mdand, if editor-facing,docs/editor/README.md.
End-of-task checklist for relevant implementation work:
- Did behavior or UX change? Update README controls or checklist.
- Did architecture or policy change? Update or create an ADR or mission note.
- Did an editor workflow change? Update
docs/editor/. - Added a new doc file? Index it in
docs/README.md. - Left a deliberate gap? Record it as future work in README or an ADR Consequences section.
