Architecture Impact Review

Decide whether the target problem is local or architectural.

Look for

• Layer violations.
• Domain logic mixed with infrastructure.
• Business logic in controllers, repositories, or DTOs.
• Circular dependencies.
• Coupled modules.
• God classes and services with too many responsibilities.
• Hidden business rules.
• Boundary-crossing dependencies.

Keep broad architectural cleanup as follow-up unless it is required for safe characterization.
