Architecture Review Gate

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: A high score cannot waive a critical failure.

NO APPROVAL WITHOUT FRESH EVIDENCE THAT:
- requirements and assumptions are explicit;
- critical invariants have enforcement points;
- resources and retries are bounded;
- failure and recovery are designed and rehearsable;
- security and tenant boundaries are enforced end to end;
- delivery, rollback, ownership, and validation are real.
