strata19.decision_manage

What it does

Record a governed choice, and — the moment a NEW decision replaces an OLD one — mark the old one superseded and find everything that depended on it (Library artifacts, and what they in turn inform) so it shows up stale, with the new decision named as the reason. Also lists/gets/archives decisions and resolves a stale dependant once it has been addressed.

When to use it

Use when: "we decided to use X instead of Y" · "that earlier call is out — we are doing Z now"

Also use when: action="supersede" — the SAME call records the new choice AND retires the old one; never issue two separate calls for this

When not to use it

the choice has not actually been made yet — this is a durable record, not a proposal
