Artifact: Design Doc Open Questions — Shipment ETA Recalculation
ETA-recalculation design doc, decided and undecided items kept explicitly separate -- exercises co-04.
Decision: recalculation runs synchronously on every shipment status update -- not on a schedule -- because ETA staleness between updates is the exact problem this doc exists to fix.
Open Questions:
- What's the fallback if ParcelLink's own ETA field is missing for a shipment? (undecided -- proposal: fall back to a static origin-to-destination average, but this needs the data team's input on whether that average is even tracked today.)
