# decision history

Resolve the decision, project, and date range. Use screenpipe-api to find the original discussion and later revisions, expanding around matching timestamps rather than reading unrelated history.

Build a short sequence of proposals, decisions, and superseding decisions. Attribute a decision only when the source shows agreement or an authorized owner's explicit choice. Keep a suggestion, someone's recollection, and a final decision distinct.

Explain the recorded rationale, rejected alternatives, constraints, and unresolved questions with dated source pointers. If sources disagree, show the disagreement and which evidence is newer. Do not infer consensus from silence or replace a missing rationale with your own.
