# Architecture

## Purpose

This document will become the central architecture overview for HoopScout v2. It should summarize the current approved technical direction and provide a stable starting point for future implementation work.

## Current Status

This is still a phase-1 architecture overview, but the repository now has its first accepted concrete technical decision in `docs/adr/0001-runtime-and-development-stack.md`. Later implementation work should follow that corrected baseline unless a future ADR supersedes it.

## Decision-Driven Development

Architecture in this repository should be decision-driven. Major technical choices should be documented before implementation begins, and implementation should follow documented decisions rather than informal local reasoning.

## Relationship to Architecture Principles

This document should stay consistent with `docs/ARCHITECTURE_PRINCIPLES.md`. Future architecture sections should reflect the guiding principles and constraints defined there before they commit the repository to more concrete technical choices.

## Relationship to ADRs

This document should stay aligned with the ADR set in `docs/adr/`. ADRs capture specific decisions and their rationale. This overview should summarize the accepted decisions at a higher level, not replace the ADR record.

The current baseline decision is:
- `ADR-0001`: runtime and development stack baseline

The current baseline assumes:
- Python 3
- Django
- PostgreSQL
- containerized local development by default

Future implementation work should assume the containerized workflow and PostgreSQL baseline rather than introducing non-containerized local setups or a different default database.

## Future Sections Placeholder

Future versions of this document may include sections such as:
- system context
- major components
- data flow
- deployment/runtime assumptions
- integration boundaries
- operational considerations
