# ADR-0002: Explicit schema bootstrap policy
- **Status:** accepted
- **Date:** 2026-06-25
## Context
MVP called schema bootstrap (`create_all`) on every startup. `REQ-10` requires explicit, opt-in schema bootstrap behavior so normal production startup does not mutate schema.
## Decision
Add environment-aware bootstrap policy:
1. New settings:
- `environment`: `development` | `test` | `production`
- `bootstrap_schema_on_startup`: optional explicit override
2. Default behavior:
- Development/test: bootstrap enabled
- Production: bootstrap disabled
3. App startup calls `create_all` only when policy evaluates true.
## Consequences
### Positive
- Production startup behavior is safer and policy-driven.
- Local development remains simple by default.
### Tradeoffs
- Deployments now require explicit schema management in production.
## Alternatives Considered
1. **Always bootstrap in all environments**
- Rejected: violates `REQ-10` intent.
2. **Disable bootstrap everywhere immediately**
- Rejected: hurts local developer workflow without migration tool replacement yet.
