Native provider decision record

Decision

native-accessible is retained as a test/reference provider only. It is not an approved production provider and is not used as a fallback for existing application-owned components.

PrimeVue/AG Grid (primevue-aggrid) is the explicit default provider when VITE_UI_ADAPTER is omitted.

Evidence

• frontend/src/shared/ui/adapter/native/index.ts declares productionEligible: false.
• Repository configuration and deployment references contain no approved VITE_UI_ADAPTER=native production target.
• Existing frontend/src/shared/ui/components/*.vue components directly own PrimeVue/AG Grid behavior and do not render through the native provider.
• frontend/src/shared/ui/provider/tests/resolveUiProvider.spec.ts uses native resolution as a deterministic contract test.

Consequences

• Do not delete native adapters yet; they remain useful for adapter contract and accessibility smoke tests.
• Do not advertise native as a production switch. A future provider switch requires a full component parity Slice first.
• Existing production bootstrap remains PrimeVue by default. No automatic provider fallback is introduced.
• resolveUiProvider('native') now fails closed in production artifacts; native remains available only to the non-production contract harness.

Follow-up

Provider retirement may be proposed only with explicit evidence that no test or contract harness requires it, plus an approved WBS/ADR. Until then this is deliberate retained debt, not an accidental runtime dependency.
