Audit Go type definitions by running a design-review pass to surface duplicated struct shapes, misused generics, and embedding antipatterns. This enforces evaluation of composition practices, generic constraints, and embedding usage to improve maintainability across large codebases.

Under-constrained type parameters in Go generics reduce code safety and readability. Auditing detects these antipatterns and recommends tighter constraints to ensure type parameters are properly bounded, preventing over-engineering and improving maintainability.

Reviewing Go type architecture identifies duplicated struct shapes across packages and derives a canonical source type. This reduces maintenance burden by consolidating redundant definitions during frequent refactoring and codebase evolution.

Use explicit delegation instead of struct embedding when embedding antipatterns risk exposing an uncontrolled API surface. Auditing detects these cases and provides guidance on constraining the API surface to maintain clean type architecture.

Yes, the audit targets large Go codebases with many packages, evolving type hierarchies, and frequent refactoring. It provides actionable migration paths to reorganize type architecture after growth, addressing duplication and over-engineering that creep in.

The best way is to audit for disorganized type architecture and poor enum patterns, then follow the provided actionable migration paths. This reorganization process constrains API surface and improves maintainability after codebase growth.
