Description

Adds a new decision record documenting our approach to API design: providing both low-level and high-level APIs for new features.

This decision formalizes the pattern we've been following (e.g., in BidiAgent with send/receive vs run) and provides rationale grounded in our tenets. It references the progressive disclosure principle from UX design and the pit of success concept.

This pattern is well-established in SDK design — AWS CDK uses similar "construct levels" (L1/L2/L3) where lower levels map directly to underlying resources while higher levels provide opinionated abstractions.
