# 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
- `ADR-0002`: initial project structure baseline
- `ADR-0003`: containerized developer workflow 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 scaffolding and implementation work should also follow the initial repository structure defined in `docs/adr/0002-initial-project-structure.md` unless a later ADR supersedes it.
Future runtime and scaffolding work should also follow the developer workflow defined in `docs/adr/0003-containerized-developer-workflow.md`, including app and PostgreSQL containers as the baseline local services and container-run development commands by default.
## 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
