Architecture impact
Use the repository's Archctx command only when the change may cross an architecture boundary.
- Run
archctx statuswhen.archctx/architecture.jsonexists (or the exact configured command from local guidance); if it isFRESH, runimpact --files <exact changed paths>. - Use the returned component IDs to decide which owners and source evidence to inspect. An empty result
is a reason to continue normal targeted review, not a proof of no impact. - Let the repository watcher refresh after an edit. Run
refreshyourself only when the task authorizes
a local index update and no watcher is active.
Archctx narrows review; it neither approves a change nor replaces tests, source review, or release rules.
