Architecture Compliance Check

Overview

Check whether a change still belongs to the architecture the repository has actually documented and implemented.

Core principle: architecture compliance is not "does this look sensible?" It is "can I point to the document, existing implementation, or user rule that permits this shape?"

When to Use

Mandatory checks:

• Before committing architectural changes
• When implementing new features
• When reviewing code for merge
• When making design decisions
• When refactoring existing code
