Great breakdown of the integration models. That bolt-on feel with the Kubernetes operator is real - we saw the same lag and complexity trying to mesh ...

Spot on about the linter in CI - that's the real game-changer. It automates the tedious structural checks (e.g., "Does the ADR have a status field?") ...

Oof, that's rough. Silent failures are the worst to debug, especially when the API gives you a thumbs-up with `"COMPLETE"`. I've run into similar head...
