Complete Package Inspection ADR

[jordancalhoun]

Summary

• expand ADR 0001 with context, the explicit architectural decision, rejected alternatives, and consequences
• retain the Package Inspection specification as the detailed product contract without duplicating it in the ADR

Why

The merged ADR recorded the headline decision but not the forces behind it. This revision explains why import-first, app-only, duplicated frontend, and stateless-core designs were rejected, and records the cost of shared-core ownership and frontend parity.

Impact

Documentation only. This does not change CLI, SwiftPkgCore, Swiftpkgr, or compatibility behavior.

Checks

• git diff --cached --check — passed before commit
• prior unit test suite — 20 tests passed
• prior required macOS integration loop — passed

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Expanded the Package Inspection architecture decision record with an accepted status and structured sections for context, decision details, considered alternatives, and consequences.
  • Documented Package Inspection as a read-only workflow with a shared inspection report across supported interfaces.
  • Added rationale for rejected approaches and clarified expected impacts on core functionality and interface behavior.
