Integrate backlog step 3: ADR for one storage format (#199) - #215
Step 3 of landing the open PR backlog: merges #199, the ADR for one storage format, with a real merge commit so GitHub marks it merged. Steps 1 and 2 were #208 and #211.
Problem
main has two durable formats plus a one-way migration, which split Keep's capabilities. #199's description has the detail. Step 4, the #200 to #204 stack, depends on this decision.
Invariant affected
The format contract: which stores Keep admits, how a store comes into existence, and what admission proves about a store's location.
Approach
Merge #199, resolve the CHANGELOG.md conflict by keeping both sides, and amend ADR-0010 after owner review (2026-11-04). After the first release Keep reads released sealed segments through frozen decoders and writes one current format. Metadata upgrades stay explicit and hold the writer lock from before the first read until completion is durable, which answers #199's open source-consistency finding. Segment rewriting is optional and resumable, and reads never upgrade. Opening requires a typed expected-state choice before the first release, the digest claim is corrected, and #205 must close before the first release.
Alternatives rejected
A reader-fenced snapshot as the upgrade source: only GC takes the reader fence exclusively, and this would add a second holder.
Leaving it to the tool's future design: the finding is about a rule this ADR already implies.
Failure modes
No code changes, so no runtime failure. The risk is a wrong decision that step 4 then implements. See Review.
Tests
Documentation checks only. The ADR's own required tests land with the units it describes.
Benchmark impact
None.
Format/API compatibility
No change in this PR. The ADR decides future format changes.
Recovery implications
None in this PR. The ADR requires a crash protocol for direct initialization and for each upgrade tool.
Security implications
The ADR states wrong-store and rollback detection are unsupported without a caller-held expectation.
Commit Keep to one supported storage format. Direct initialization
replaces version-1 initialization plus migration, complete stores become
portable while live authority checks remain, and future format changes
ship a separate upgrade tool. Cross-reference the superseded root
identity records and the amended ADR-0009 migration section.
…e change (#198)
Building the writer on migrated version-2 stores first, then replacing
migration with direct initialization in the change that deletes it,
means the two store shapes never coexist and needs no transitional
discriminator, second corpus or dual admission path.
ADR-0010 forbids copying a live store but left open how an upgrade tool gets one
consistent source view. Hold the source's writer lock for the whole run and
refuse otherwise. Addresses the open review finding on #199.
Added a decision describing a single current storage format, explicit expected-state checks when opening stores, and portable complete stores.
Documented explicit metadata upgrades and optional, resumable segment rewriting.
Updated related architecture and recovery documents to reflect the decision and clarify that existing behavior remains in place until implementation changes land.
Walkthrough
This documentation change adds ADR-0010, which specifies one current storage format, direct initialization, portable complete stores, and explicit post-release upgrades. It also updates related ADR references and the changelog. Main’s behavior remains unchanged until the tracked implementation work lands.

Summary
Format contract and initialization docs/adr/0010-one-storage-format.md, docs/adr/0009-retention-roots-release-and-gc-liveness.md, docs/adr/README.md, CHANGELOG.md
ADR-0010 defines the current format and direct initialization rules. The ADR index, ADR-0009 dependency list, and changelog link to or summarize the decision.
Portable opening and expected state docs/adr/0010-one-storage-format.md, docs/adr/retention-reader-root-identity.md, docs/formats/segment-store-v2/recovery.md
ADR-0010 allows complete, quiescent copies and consistent snapshots to open after normal admission. It requires callers to provide an expected state or state that they have none. Related documents note that their restart comparison is superseded when the change lands.
Migration removal and later upgrades docs/adr/0010-one-storage-format.md
ADR-0010 specifies an implementation sequence for removing version 1 and migration. It also defines post-release reads, explicit metadata upgrades, and optional resumable segment rewriting.
Issue 198: ADR-0010 records the single-format policy and initialization sequence described by this issue; implementation remains follow-up work.
Issue 205: ADR-0010 states that format identity must cover additional grammars before the first release; it does not implement that coverage.
Issue 212: ADR-0010 includes retention records in the proposed format; it notes that the related evidence work remains unimplemented.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to d5c2f
This documentation-only change records the one-storage-format decision and does not alter runtime behavior. Main keeps its current behavior until the tracked implementation units land, so merging it carries no meaningful risk.

One format marks the path ahead Direct initialization sets the stage Complete copies cross the boundary Frozen readers keep old segments legible Explicit upgrades turn the page
Owner review of ADR-0010: copying a whole store for every format change costs too
much on large stores. After the first release Keep keeps frozen decoders for
sealed segments and writes only the current format. Metadata upgrades stay
explicit, segment rewriting is optional and resumable, and reads never upgrade.
Removing the root binding now comes with a required typed expected-state choice
on open. The digest claim is corrected and #205 must close before first release.
The torn-copy and rollback laws block migration deletion.

## Testing
Follow the binding [Keep Testing Standards](docs/Testing%20Standards.md) and
its [enforcement profile](docs/testing/enforcement.md). Identify product,
tool, calibration, and static/API evidence separately; tooling success does
not prove Keep runtime behavior. Declare change kind and named oracles, show
load-bearing assertions able to fail, and observe bug regressions RED on the
unfixed revision. Loops, conditionals, and compound test names are review
signals, not automatic defects. Record actual enforcement, owners, budgets,
and gaps; a policy declaration is not an implemented gate.
