# 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 a phase-1 placeholder. The architecture is not yet fully defined, and implementation should not proceed from undocumented assumptions.

## 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.

## 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
