architecture-patterns

Identify architectural patterns by parsing class definitions and relationships to recognize Singleton, Command, Observer, and Composite patterns. This produces structured metadata mapping core singletons, coordinators, and registries, enabling design conformance checks and supporting code review documentation.

Qt6 GUI architecture commonly uses Singleton for shared resources, Observer for signal-slot connections, Command for user actions, and Composite for hierarchical UI components. These patterns organize core coordinators, plugin security, and event wiring in large projects.

Signal-slot connections implement the Observer pattern to decouple event producers from consumers. Document connections between UI coordinators and core singletons with practical examples showing how panels, dialogs, and main GUI coordinators wire events.

Yes. Follow the documented steps for adding new components by recognizing how existing panels and dialogs use Singleton, Command, and Observer patterns. This ensures new extensions conform to the established architecture before implementation.

Core singletons, main GUI coordinators, and plugin security classes form the foundation. Recognizing these key classes and their roles supports design decisions, code review conformance, and extends the architecture consistently.

Documented architecture patterns create a retrievable metadata map for rapid embedding by RAG systems, enabling faster code review, design conformance verification, and consistent onboarding for new contributors to large C++ projects.
