audit-structure

An architecture audit detects layering violations and import cycles by reconstructing module boundaries and dependency topology to expose structural defects with concrete evidence from source, runtime, and build paths. It classifies these violations and provides safe correction guidance.

Module boundary analysis is the process of reconstructing domains, deployables, and data ownership to evaluate structural integrity. You need it when a repository has unclear ownership, recurring cross-module changes, tangled imports, or a directory structure that no longer reflects its architecture.

Auditing repository structure for god-modules and misplaced files requires evidence-based analysis across source, runtime, data, and deployment boundaries. The audit inspects topology and ownership to identify defects that weaken boundaries or increase change risk.

Yes, you can analyze hidden runtime coupling and data ownership by inspecting composition, initialization, shutdown, and migration paths. The audit requires evidence-based analysis across runtime units and data boundaries to confirm structural failures and unauthorized access.

The best way to detect evolving deployment boundaries and leaky interfaces is a topology audit that inspects lifecycle, tooling, and migration paths. It classifies defects, improvements, and intentional constraints while requiring concrete evidence and safe verification.

You should avoid structural refactoring when the audit identifies intentional constraints or ongoing migrations rather than confirmed defects. The process distinguishes between actual structural failures, intentional architecture decisions, and unresolved questions to ensure safe corrections.
