samiandClaude Opus 5 8bb683b09d scaffold: project structure, wire contract, roadmap and agent briefs
Lays out Velox Download Manager (IDM-class download manager for Ubuntu
26.04) as a monorepo ready for parallel lane development. No implementation
code by design.

- docs/: architecture, roadmap M0-M7, IDM-parity GUI spec, engine design,
  Firefox extension spec, risks/spikes, packaging
- contracts/: wire-contract skeleton (JSON Schema + fixture templates) —
  the single synchronization point between lanes
- docs/agents/: one brief per lane (PROTO, CORE, DAEMON, GUI, EXT, PKG/QA)
  with owned directories, build order and definition of done
- CLAUDE.md: rules of engagement — lane ownership, layering, non-negotiables
- CMake scaffolding with dev/tsan/release/ci presets

Two environment findings shape the design: Firefox here is the Mozilla snap
(native-messaging risk, so the extension carries a loopback-WebSocket
fallback), and Wayland forbids passive clipboard monitoring (so clipboard
capture is explicit-action-first).

ADR 0001 — Record architecture decisions

Status: accepted · Date: 2026-09-09

Context

Several agents build this project in parallel, and each starts without the others' context. Decisions that live only in a chat log get re-litigated or silently reversed.

Decision

Every non-obvious decision gets a numbered file here: context, decision, consequences, alternatives rejected and why. Keep it under a page. Amend by adding a new ADR that supersedes the old one — never rewrite history.

Expected ADRs

# Subject Owner Due
