Add an ADR directory and backfill the Express-to-NestJS rebuild decision #142

Description

@james2177

Description

Git history (git log) shows a full rebuild from Express to NestJS happened (commit history references "Nest rebuild complete"), which is a significant architectural decision, but there's no ADR or written record of why it happened or what alternatives were considered — that context currently only lives in commit messages.

Requirements and context

  • This is worth capturing now while the reasoning is still fresh among the team, before it becomes tribal knowledge that's lost

Suggested execution

  1. Fork the repo and create a branch
    git checkout -b docs/backfill-nestjs-rebuild-adr
    
  2. Implement changes
    Relevant files:
  • docs/adr/0000-express-to-nestjs-rebuild.md
  1. Test and commit

    • Run npm run lint && npm run typecheck && npm test && npm run test:e2e
    • Include test output / screenshots or logs demonstrating the fix in the PR

    Example commit message:

    docs: backfill ADR for the Express to NestJS rebuild
