Follow-up to #27. The 2026-09-29 DECISIONS entry said "the rationale beyond 'no longer used' is not recorded". It now records your five reasons:

  1. no interactivity with the agents;
  2. driving work by clicking labels;
  3. hard to maintain;
  4. hard to understand and improve;
  5. no transparency.

Each reason has a one-line concrete example. The examples are mine, taken from this repo's own history: the secrets:-under-workflow_call and bare composite-action-ref failures, the duplicate caller that doubled every run, logs that only the web UI can show, and preflight blocks that exit green. Trim them if you'd rather keep only the headline reasons.

The entry still notes that the replacement approach is not recorded. CHANGELOG entry added.

Reasons given by Ellen: no interactivity with the agents, clicking
labels as the only control, hard to maintain, hard to understand and
improve, and no transparency.
