component-flattening-analysis

To detect orphaned classes in root namespaces, map the namespace tree and classify files lacking proper component boundaries. This process identifies hierarchy violations where classes exist at the root instead of as designated leaf nodes.

Component flattening is a refactoring strategy enforcing clean component structures by ensuring components exist only as leaf nodes. Use it during domain decomposition or architecture cleanups to fix nested namespace violations and promote leaf components.

The best way to flatten component hierarchies is to analyze component structures, detect root namespaces, and apply strategies like Consolidate Down, Split Up, or Move Shared. This generates an actionable refactoring plan promoting leaf components.

Yes, this approach suits projects with multiple components and nested namespaces undergoing domain decomposition. It maps namespace trees, classifies orphaned files, and proposes targeted flattening strategies validating component boundaries continuously.

Components must exist as leaf nodes to prevent hierarchy violations and enforce clean component structures. Allowing components at root levels creates orphaned classes and couples domains, defeating domain decomposition and boundary validation goals.
