To identify the single source of truth, map authoritative files for versions, architecture, and configuration across your repository. This process flags discrepancies between cache files and source files, ensuring code reviews reference the true authoritative definitions and maintain repository consistency.

Single source of truth detection locates the authoritative files that define project concepts like runtime behavior and versioning. You need it during code reviews and repository onboarding to surface discrepancies where multiple files diverge, preventing contradicting configurations and architecture drift.

You surface discrepancies by comparing repository files against the mapped authoritative sources for concepts like versions and configuration. This flags diverging cache files, explains the mismatches, and guides users to the correct source files for remediation during code reviews.

Yes, you can apply single source of truth detection across architecture intent and runtime behavior files. It maps these authoritative sources to detect diverging definitions, ensuring that all repository workflows and automated checks reference the correct architectural and runtime configurations.

Single source of truth governance works for automated checks by validating that versioning and planned work data reference the mapped authoritative files. It detects discrepancies between caches and source files automatically, supporting consistent repository governance across automated workflows.

Repository consistency fails when cache or configuration files diverge from the authoritative source, creating contradicting project definitions. Applying single source of truth detection surfaces these discrepancies, explains the mismatch, and provides remediation guidance to restore alignment.
