Context
Sub of epic #15519 (graduated D#15498; Decision Record: REQUIRED per the STEP_BACK authority sweep). The topology decision is a one-way door and creates governance surfaces; it must be an ADR beside ADR-0034, not Discussion archaeology.
The Work
Author the topology ADR recording: the source-less-of-product E decision (storefront born with the door's own source — the minimum site as an ordinary Neo app on the published package; NO product source ever moves); the site as the one canonical launch URL (storefront = service entrance); the sequencing truth (#15490 row 3 gates download activation only, dead-button discipline); the A-supersession condition (the clean-consumer probe as the standing non-gating experiment, owner + decay trigger on package-layout/Electron-major changes); the rejected alternatives with their falsifiers (A zero-social-proof, B support-blend observed at 91 issues, C flywheel+demo-source severance, D launch-moment-spent-twice).
