docs(adr): drop the Status section#72
Merged

Conversation
A per-ADR Proposed/Accepted line goes stale and adds nothing — the record exists because we made the call. Supersession and deprecation already live where readers look: the superseding ADR names what it replaces (Decision / Related) and the Index annotates the superseded entry. Removes Status from the template, the guide, and all existing ADRs; no supersession info is lost. Signed-off-by: willbot <w.a.madden+machine@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Will Madden <madden@prisma.io>

Drop the
Statussection from ADRsA per-ADR
Proposed / Acceptedline goes stale (most just say "Accepted" forever) and adds nothing — the record exists because we made the call. This removes theStatussection as a convention and retroactively from every existing ADR.Where supersession/deprecation lives instead (already true today, now the only place it lives):
No supersession information is lost — the five ADRs whose
Statuscarried real relationship narrative (0014, 0025, 0026, 0027, 0028) already mirror it in theirRelatedsections and the Index.Changes
Statussection removed.Status; where supersession is recorded) and syncs the section list to the template.Statussection stripped (10 insertions, 139 deletions).Docs only; behaviour unchanged.
Note
ADR-0029 lives on the in-review secrets branch (#70), not
main, so itsStatusisn't touched here — it'll be dropped on that branch (or as a fast-follow once #70 merges) to comply.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
