Checklist Results

#	Criterion	Status	Evidence/Notes
1	The ID (ADR-NNNN, 4-digit) matches the filename number and is unique and sequential	Pass	ADR-0010 in adr-0010-code-metrics-badges-contract.md; the previous ADR is ADR-0009.
2	Context states the problem, the forces (cost, risk, constraints) and the options evaluated	Pass	Problem, the decisions of the user, facts about the runner and the checkout directory, two counter options and three delivery options.
3	At least two options were considered, or the absence of alternatives is justified	Pass	Wrap an existing counter or write one; run artifact, default branch or a branch.
4	Decision is stated in one or two unhedged sentences and matches one of the evaluated options	Pass	A reusable workflow with three script files and a badges branch; the rules follow as a list.
5	Consequences list both Positive and Negative outcomes	Pass	Four positive, five negative.
6	Quality-attribute impacts (performance, security, portability, etc.) are named where the decision affects them	Pass	Security (a write token, a moving tools-ref, branch name validation), compatibility (report formats), maintainability (language table).
7	Affected Artifacts are listed as links, and each is also in CrossReference	Pass	MIL-010, UC-008, US-001, ADR-0005, ADR-0006 in both.
8	Status changes are recorded as new Version History rows with a Change summary and Commit link; retained rows are never rewritten	Pass	One row, Accepted, commit pending until the commit exists.
9	A superseded or deprecated ADR names its successor, and the successor links back	N-A	Neither superseded nor deprecated.
10	Written in business or technical language of the domain, with no unexplained abbreviations	Pass	SVG, XML and NUL are standard; Cobertura is named as a format.
