+## ADR-0032 — Tags: one global namespace, grouped in the listing
+Date: 2026-07-30 · Status: accepted (the tag half of withdrawn ADR-0018, now built; the feed half is still
+deferred in `ideas/deferred-decisions.md`)
+Decision: `tags` is one global namespace across every section. `/tags/{term}/` lists everything carrying a
+term, `/{section}/tags/{term}/` narrows it, and listings group by section. The URL form of a term is
+lowercased with whitespace hyphenated, preserving script, so case is not a distinction and Bengali passes
+through unchanged. Structural metadata with a fixed term set — `series` and its kin — is not a tag.
+Why: cross-type discovery is the point of a single-author site; one term spanning a comic, a poem and a
+photo essay is the feature, not the noise. Per-section pools would fragment that to solve a readability
+problem the View solves by grouping. And a free-form cross-cutting tag behaves nothing like a fixed term
+set that drives engine behaviour, so conflating them makes both worse.
+Consequence: cheap — one Query with an optional section predicate serves both listings, and the second
+caller is what earned `Query.Tag` rather than a guess. Expensive — tag hygiene is the author's discipline
+since nothing scopes terms, so `check` owes a near-duplicate report; and `tags` is now reserved at the top
+level and inside every section.
+Revisit if: the pool becomes unusable in practice — and then the answer is curation, not namespacing.

+type declaration, so this and declared types land together.
