   • Vector store selection

4. ADR-004: Security Model

   • Capability-based isolation
   • Secrets management
   • Authentication/authorization

5. ADR-005: Deployment Platform

   • Kubernetes vs Docker Swarm

ADR Template

When creating new ADRs, use the following template:

# ADR-XXX: Title

**Status**: Proposed | Accepted | Deprecated | Superseded
**Date**: YYYY-MM-DD
**Deciders**: Names
**Consulted**: Names

## Context

What is the issue we're facing?

## Decision

What did we decide?

## Consequences

What are the trade-offs?

### Positive
- Benefit 1
- Benefit 2

### Negative
- Drawback 1
- Drawback 2

## Alternatives Considered

1. Alternative 1
   - Pros
   - Cons
   - Why rejected

2. Alternative 2
   - Pros
   - Cons
   - Why rejected
