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.
