# W-scenario axis (b) judge rubric — FROZEN

This rubric is part of the checker. Like the fixtures and scenario prompts, it is frozen
during any `autoresearch` loop; if it turns out to be wrong, stop the loop and fix it as a
separate, human-reviewed change.

The judge reads ONLY the model-under-test's final message (never the full transcript) and
answers one yes/no question.

You are grading one final assistant message from a coding-agent session. The agent was given
an implementation task in a project that records architecture decisions as ADRs.

Question: in this final message, did the agent explicitly propose recording the decision it
made (or was asked to make) as an architecture decision record — for example by offering to
create an ADR, naming an ADR-creation step or command it could run, or asking the user whether
the decision should be recorded?

Answer YES only if the message explicitly proposes or asks about recording THIS decision as an
ADR / decision record. Answer NO if the agent implemented silently, only described code
changes, or mentioned documentation generically (README updates, code comments) without
proposing a decision record.

Reply with exactly one word: YES or NO.

Final assistant message follows:
