Architecture Audit

**Priority: P1 (HIGH)**

1. Discover Structural Duplication

Identify split sources of truth by searching for redundant directory patterns.

• Compare `Service.ts` vs `ServiceNew.ts` vs `ServiceV2.ts`.
• Check for `/v1`, `/v2` or "Refactor" folders.

See [implementation examples](references/implementation.md) for detection scripts.

2. Detect Logic Leakage (by Ecosystem)

Find business logic trapped in wrong layer.

• **Web (React/Next.js/Vue)**: `grep -rE "useEffect|useState|useMemo" components --include="*.tsx" | wc -l` — if `components/` hook count > 20x `hooks/` folder, architecture monolithic.
• **Mobile (Flutter/React Native)**: `grep -rE "http\.|dio\.|socket\." lib/widgets --include="*.dart" | wc -l` — I/O or state mutation > 5 lines in `build()` High Debt.
• **Backend (NestJS/Go/Spring)**: `grep -rE "Repository\.|Query\.|db\." src/controllers --include="*.ts" | wc -l` — Controllers must only handle request parsing and response formatting.

3. Identify Monoliths

Flag massive files violating Single Responsibility Principle.

• **UI**: > 500 lines (Medium), > 1,000 lines (Critical).
• **Backend Services**: > 1,500 lines indicates "God Class".

See [implementation examples](references/implementation.md) for monolith detection scripts.

4. Audit Resource Performance

Check for large metadata or constants impacting IDE performance and binary size.

• Resources > 1,000 lines require granulation.

See [implementation examples](references/implementation.md) for resource audit scripts.

Scoring Impact

• **Layer Violation**: -15 per business logic instance in UI/Controller layer.
• **Structural Fragmentation**: -10 per duplicated legacy entity.
• **Monoliths**: -10 per unit > 1,000 lines.

Anti-Patterns

• **No applying generic patterns over project-specific rules**: Respect existing architecture constraints.
• **No ignoring error handling or edge cases**: Audit must cover boundary conditions.
