Status: accepted

Context: Task E introduced quotation attachments as metadata only. Task E.1 confirms that approval should not start on top of an unstable file-storage design.

Decision:

• Keep quotation attachments metadata-only for now.
• Store file identity, original name, path, type, size, uploader, and timestamps in CRM tables.
• Do not build upload transport, storage provider logic, signed download URLs, or binary retention policy in Task E or E.1.

Consequences:

• Task F can reference attachment metadata without being blocked by storage implementation details.
• A later storage task must define provider abstraction, permission checks, retention rules, and migration strategy for existing metadata rows.
