To detect architectural drift in Pinot, review code diffs for SPI boundary violations, misplaced logic, and new cross-module imports. Analyzing these changes identifies invisible coupling and hard-to-maintain dependencies across module layers like spi, core, or broker.

Review SPI boundaries and module design when a diff modifies interfaces, abstract classes, or plugin boundaries. Evaluating these changes is needed when new cross-module dependencies appear, ensuring proper layering and clean plugin separation are maintained.

The best way to enforce module boundaries is applying code review principles to analyze diffs across SPI boundaries. This approach produces actionable recommendations to remediate misplaced logic and prevent invisible coupling between modules like controller and server.

Yes, this architectural review process works for changes moving classes between Pinot modules. By evaluating the diff against module boundaries, it provides concrete fixes to enforce proper layering and clean plugin separation for the specific module transition.

Pinot codebase drift creates invisible coupling when changes violate SPI or impl boundaries, introducing misplaced logic and cross-module imports. This architectural drift makes dependencies hard-to-maintain by bypassing clean plugin separation and proper module layering.

Yes, you can get actionable recommendations for fixing architecture violations in Pinot. The review process analyzes diffs across SPI boundaries and applies code review principles to recommend concrete fixes that enforce module boundaries and proper layering.
