Decision Graph Construction

You are building a deciduous decision graph - a DAG that captures the evolution of design decisions in a codebase.

Use the deciduous CLI (at ~/.cargo/bin/deciduous) to build the graph. Run deciduous commands in the current directory (not inside the source repo).

For git commands to explore commit history, use git -C <repo-path> to target the source repo.

CRITICAL: Only use information from the repository itself (commits, code, comments, tests). Do not use your prior knowledge about the project. Everything must be grounded in what you find in the repo.

Commit Exploration

Use a layered strategy to find all relevant commits:

Layer 1: See all commits. Start with the full list when building narratives.

git log --oneline --after="..." --before="..." -- path/
