To identify architectural friction, you analyze the codebase to discover shallow modules and tightly-coupled components. This process pinpoints areas where deepening refactors are needed to improve testability and make the codebase more AI-navigable.

Writing a refactor RFC involves proposing architectural guidance for codebase enhancements, specifically focusing on module deepening. You document the refactoring strategy to improve maintainability and testability across complex modules.

The best way to deepen shallow modules is to propose multiple interface designs and generate boundary tests specifically for the deepened modules. This refactoring approach directly improves the testability of the codebase.

Making a codebase AI-navigable improves architecture by utilizing analysis tools to identify friction and propose deep module designs. This refactoring strategy ensures complex codebases become more maintainable and inherently testable.

You should use module deepening refactors when complex, tightly-coupled modules cause architectural friction. Unlike standard refactoring, this approach specifically targets shallow modules to enhance testability and generate boundary tests.

Yes, you can generate boundary tests for deepened modules. After proposing multiple interface designs for the shallow modules, the system writes architectural RFCs and generates corresponding boundary tests to ensure testability.
