 ### Concurrent Operations
 
-- Multiple downloads: up to 3 simultaneous, others queued
+- Multiple downloads: limited based on device capability (1-4 simultaneous), others queued
 - Multiple installs: 1 at a time, others wait in queue
+- Queue order: best-effort insertion order (not guaranteed)
 - Queue advances automatically after each completion
 
+### Device Adaptation
+
+- Download concurrency adapts to device RAM to prevent crashes on low-capability devices
+- Behavior degrades gracefully on constrained devices, never hangs
+
 ## Acceptance Criteria
 
 - [ ] **No operation hangs indefinitely** — every state resolves to success, failure, or cancelled

 ## Decisions
 
 ### 2026-02-03 — Committed session handling
@@ -41,6 +77,26 @@ Root cause: `abandonSession()` doesn't work after `session.commit()` is called.
 **Decision:** Option B+C - Keep waiting and show "System is processing".
 **Rationale:** User needs feedback; Android will eventually complete or fail. No hanging states allowed.
 
+### 2026-02-04 — Explicit vs implicit queue
+
+**Context:** Current queue derived from operation state causes race conditions with 20+ apps.
+**Options:** A) Keep implicit + add more defensive checks, B) Explicit queue lists + lock.
+**Decision:** Option B - Explicit queue lists with processing lock.
+**Rationale:** Simpler to reason about, eliminates race conditions, easier debugging.
+
+### 2026-02-04 — Dynamic concurrent downloads
+
+**Context:** Fixed limit of 3 crashes low-RAM devices; too conservative for high-end devices.
+**Options:** A) Lower fixed limit, B) Dynamic based on RAM, C) User configurable.
+**Decision:** Option B - Dynamic based on device RAM.
+**Rationale:** Adapts to device capability without user intervention.
+
+### 2026-02-04 — Verification chunk size
+
+**Context:** Should chunk size (64KB) be dynamic based on device?
+**Decision:** Keep fixed at 64KB.
+**Rationale:** Memory savings negligible (640KB max for 10 concurrent ops), complexity not justified.
