The dependency list adds pflag and x/text

Context

ADR-0005 closes the dependency list at cobra, yaml.v3, huh, x/term and goreleaser, and ADR-0006 gives the list as staying at five. The code imports two modules the list does not name:

Module	Imported by	For
github.com/spf13/pflag	cmd/archdoc	Walking each command's flags into the command reference. cobra gives a command's flags as a *pflag.FlagSet, and visiting them names pflag's types.
golang.org/x/text	internal/changes	Matching a configured root against git's listing of a revision in Unicode normalisation form C, through unicode/norm.

cobra requires pflag, and huh requires x/text at the version the module names, so each was in the module graph before it was imported directly. pflag was imported with the command reference on 2026-10-26, and x/text on 2026-11-03, when each revision's documents came to be read under its own root. Neither was recorded against ADR-0005. The pflag import was reported in [#36] on 2026-10-26, and the x/text import was found while correcting it on 2026-11-03.

Decision

The dependency list is cobra for the command tree, pflag for its flags, yaml.v3 for front matter, huh for prompts, x/term to detect a terminal, x/text for Unicode normalisation, and goreleaser at build time only. Nothing else. A need that would take another library is met with the standard library or not met.

Alternatives

Whether any other module was weighed for either need is not recorded.

Consequences

Easier:

• The command reference will read cobra's flags through the pflag types cobra gives them as.
• A root will match git's listing whichever normalisation form either is written in.

Harder:

• A repository adopting the tool will audit seven names rather than five.

Constrained:

• A need that would take another library will still be met with the standard library or not met.
