ADR 0081: a decision nothing cites is not yet in the chain

Decisions were the one link the cycle checks skipped, and measuring found 19 of 70 records orphaned — the credential flow and the module-runtime cluster among them, which is how a stale premise about a settled decision survived in working memory. cycle.py now refuses an accepted record nothing cites; the 19 got true homes (design frontmatter, the playbook that implements 0021, META for the process records). The overview names the practice: spec-driven development with provenance. https://claude.ai/code/session_01D6qtiYU3P9jk3pnAXyAFyx
