Tianyi Cui ba3125234a docs: rename core-data-structures/ to subsystems/
The folder is becoming the home of one-doc-per-subsystem pages (intro +
data structures + cordis services/events), so the name must describe the
whole contract, not just the type-vocabulary third of it. Mechanical
rename rebuilt on current master: every inbound Markdown link, generator
constant, website route, type-equiv manifest path, and spec expectation
moves together; the zh sides of the notes whose prose names the folder
are aligned (子系统) in the same change; touched bilingual pairs
re-recorded; translation-prompt snapshot re-recorded (its example embeds
development.md). Historical Agent Note slugs keep their dated
filenames.

Post-mortems

English | 中文

Incident write-ups: a bug reached a place it shouldn't have (a real user, a merged PR, a release), and the interesting part is why our process let it through, not just the one-line fix.

A post-mortem is NOT an Agent Note (which records a deliberate design decision and its rejected alternatives, or proposes future work). It is a backward-looking record of a failure: what broke, the mechanism, why every safety net missed it, and the concrete guardrails added so the same class of bug fails loudly next time.

Write one when a bug is subtle (the mechanism is non-obvious and a careful engineer would re-derive it the hard way), systemic (the reason it escaped is a gap in tests/tooling/conventions, not a one-off typo), and costly to rediscover (it cost real debugging time, and would cost it again). Link the guardrails (tests, AGENTS.md rules, ADRs) the post-mortem motivated.

Every post-mortem opens with an Executive summary: one short paragraph a busy reader can absorb in thirty seconds — what broke, the root cause in plain terms, why it escaped, and the durable lesson — before the detailed Summary / Timeline / Root cause / Guardrails sections that follow.
