 # Architecture — System Design Mastery

 ## Mandatory Pre-Flight Context Inspection
 
-Before selecting architectural patterns or designing systems, you MUST inspect:
-
-1. Pragmatic Monolith Default (Section 31) → Start with a modular monolith for teams <5 or scale <100K RPM; ban premature microservices
-2. Clean Architecture Dependency Direction (Section 50) → Ensure dependency arrows point strictly inward to Domain; Domain must have zero external infrastructure dependencies
-3. ADR Requirement for Non-Trivial Decisons (Section 135) → Document every major architectural decision with an ADR in `docs/architecture/`
+Before generating, refactoring, or reviewing code in the `architecture` domain, inspect these 5 critical parameters:
 
+1. **System Boundaries & Dependencies**: Verify that all required dependencies exist in target package manifests and environment paths.
+2. **Runtime Context & Platform Invariants**: Confirm target platform constraints (Node.js, Browser, Mobile OS, Edge runtime) before applying APIs.
+3. **Execution Guardrails**: Identify potential side-effects, state mutations, and unhandled asynchronous exceptions.
+4. **Validation & Type Contracts**: Validate input data schemas and strict type constraints across all module interfaces.
+5. **Observability & Proof of Execution**: Ensure execution produces tangible verification signals (terminal output, tests, metrics).

+| **Concurrency / Race Conditions** | Stale state overwrite or inconsistent data mutations | Use atomic transactions, mutex locking, or cancel-on-resubmit controls |
+| **Invalid Schema / Malformed Payload** | Downstream runtime errors or security injection | Validate boundary payloads with Zod/Pydantic schemas prior to execution |
+| **Resource / Memory Saturation** | OOM errors, frame drops, or memory leaks | Clean up listeners, cancel active timers, and enforce pagination/virtualization |

+## 🤖 LLM-Specific Traps Table
+
+| Anti-Pattern | What AI Commonly Does Wrong | What Is Actually Correct |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| **Unchecked Payload Cast** | Casting request bodies to TypeScript types without runtime schema validation | Parse request payloads through Zod/Pydantic schemas before business logic |
+| **Silent Error Swallowing** | Catching errors with empty catch blocks or logging without rethrowing | Propagate structured errors with status codes and contextual stack traces |
+| **Unparameterized Query** | Concatenating user inputs into SQL/Prisma query strings | Always use parameterized bindings or type-safe ORM query builders |

-### ❌ Forbidden AI Tropes
-1. **Blind Assumptions:** Never make an assumption without documenting it clearly with `// VERIFY: [reason]`.
-2. **Silent Degradation:** Catching and suppressing errors without logging or handling.
-3. **Context Amnesia:** Forgetting the user's constraints and offering generic advice instead of tailored solutions.
+### ✅ Pre-Flight Self-Audit Checklist
 
-### ✅ Pre-Flight Self-Audit
 ```
-✅ Did I rely ONLY on real, verified tools and methods?
-✅ Is this solution appropriately scoped to the user's constraints?
-✅ Did I handle potential failure modes and edge cases?
-✅ Have I avoided generic boilerplate that doesn't add value?
+✅ Are all inputs and boundary payloads validated against schemas (Zod/Pydantic)?
+✅ Are SQL and database queries parameterized with zero string concatenation?
+✅ Are error boundaries and timeout/retry policies explicitly declared?
+✅ Are authentication checks performed before business logic execution?
+✅ Did I verify that imported dependencies exist in package.json/requirements.txt?
 ```
