Golang Architecture Standards

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Principles

• Clean Architecture: Separate concerns. Inner layers (Domain) rely on nothing. Outer layers (Adapters) rely on Inner.
• Project Layout: Follow standard Go project layout (cmd, internal, pkg).
• Dependency Injection: Explicitly pass dependencies via constructors. Avoid global singletons.
• Package Oriented Design: Organize by feature/domain, not by layer (avoid controllers/, services/ at root).
• Interface Segregation: Define interfaces where they are used (Consumer implementation).
