ck-game-framework-boundary

To prevent unauthorized state mutation in an ECS framework, you must enforce a strict boundary between game-side code and the CkFoundation framework, ensuring game logic interacts only through public API surfaces and never mutates entity state directly.

Architectural coupling in Unreal Engine game development happens when game-specific code bypasses framework boundaries to directly access ECS internals, creating technical debt that reduces entity composition maintainability and causes architectural drift across projects.

You report missing capabilities in a game framework without creating silent forks by following a standardized gap reporting ritual, which involves documenting the missing feature through the proper request pipeline instead of making unauthorized internal copies of the framework.

You should migrate game-side patterns into an upstream ECS framework when those patterns are proven, stable, and broadly applicable, using the defined promotion path criteria to move compliant code upstream so all projects benefit without violating boundary contracts.

CkFoundation does not support direct entity composition from game-side processors; system processors must adhere to non-negotiable architectural contracts, bypassing the request pipeline to mutate state directly breaks module tier discipline and violates compliance standards.

Bypassing public API surfaces breaks framework compliance because it circumvents the non-negotiable standards for request pipelines and error handling, leading to architectural coupling and unauthorized state mutation that compromises the integrity of the ECS framework.
