RFC-001: React 19 Upgrade & Frontend Alignmentrelbnsdraft2026-06-18

What lives here: detailed proposals for significant changes β€” multi-team scope, contract-changing, week-plus work, with formal comment period and discussion.

Use vs. siblings: a proposal is lighter (side-project, single-engineer); a PRD is for an already-agreed feature about to be built; an ADR records the decision after it's made. An RFC is the open-question phase.

Template: RFC Β· filename: docs/rfcs/rfc-<slug>.md

An RFC is how we propose significant changes to the product or platform before implementing them.

When to write an RFC​

Write an RFC when the change:

  • Affects more than one team
  • Changes a public API or data contract
  • Has non-obvious trade-offs worth discussing
  • Requires a week or more of engineering work

For small, contained changes β€” just open a PR.
