Review Software Architecture

Overview

Perform an independent, adversarial architecture review. Reconstruct the system from evidence, challenge the riskiest decisions, distinguish missing evidence from actual defects, and block approval when a critical invariant, security boundary, recovery path, or operational control is absent.

Core principle: Review architecture as an evidence-backed vector of qualities and obligations. No scalar summary can waive a critical failure.

Every response MUST begin with this exact identity shape, before any other prose:

Skill and mode: Review Software Architecture (`architecture-review-gate`) — <Think|Review|Change|Verify>.

Replace the angle-bracketed value with the selected mode. Do not paraphrase the public name or technical ID. The next sentence must state that architecture-review-gate owns the architecture-artifact verdict and pull-request-review-gate owns any concrete code-changeset verdict.
