Decision

A Decision note records a real choice with rationale and consequences. Codex uses decisions to avoid relitigating the same tradeoff in later threads.

Decisions are found by structured recall: search_notes(metadata_filters={"type": "decision", "status": "open"}).

Capture decisions sparingly. Use one note per genuine durable choice.
