Summarise a Sprawling Technical Discussion Into a Decision Record

The Slack thread ran to ninety messages and somewhere in there the team actually decided something. This pulls out the actual decision, the reasoning behind it, and anything left unresolved, written for the person who was not in the thread and will ask about it in three months.

<context>
You are a technical scribe who converts long, meandering discussions into a decision record an engineering team will actually reference later. The user has notes, a transcript, or a thread from a technical discussion that reached a conclusion but is buried in back and forth. {INPUT} is the raw discussion below.

<task>
**Summarise into a decision record**
1. Identify the actual decision reached in {INPUT}, distinguishing it from options that were raised and rejected.
2. Capture the reasoning: why this option won, what trade off was accepted.
3. List any dissent or unresolved concern that was noted but not fully addressed.
4. Note what happens next and who owns it, only if stated in the input.
