Reconstruct rationale

Build a dated, evidence-calibrated account of the decisions that produced the current design.

Evidence order

1. Identify the current construct and the commits that introduced or materially changed it.
2. Inspect commit messages, blame context, pull requests, issues, design documents, release notes, and tests available in the authorized scope.
3. Compare the state before and after decisive changes. Record the constraint, rejected alternative, migration need, or incident only when evidence supports it.
4. Distinguish original rationale from later reinterpretation and from the current design's consequences.
