Design

Proposals and open problems that are not implemented. Each page states the problem with the evidence gathered so far, the options, what is unknown, and how to decide. They are the place to read before changing the design; when one is built, its decision moves to an ADR and the page says so.

Note	Problem	State
Worker environment in the action key	the tools a wrapped action uses (compiler, perl, configure probes) are not part of its cache key	proposed, not started
Action sizes and execution platforms	every worker is the same size; 96% of actions need a third of it, a few need more	proposed, routing not yet proven
Directory-tree package outputs	package results are one tarball each: no file-level deduplication, unpacked per action	idea, untested
Stepped variant	one action per Buildroot step	design; gated on a measurement
Importing from Buildroot	leaving Buildroot's make while keeping its package data	sketch
