Preventing Architecture Drift
Architecture Drift Is a Control Loop Problem
Code can still work while the architecture is already drifting. Reqode makes the expected structure explicit, maps the real implementation, verifies units, and routes confirmed violations into work.
Layer drift
Controllers start owning business logic, services become hidden use cases, models hide side effects, or queries write data.
Ownership drift
A unit absorbs behavior that belongs elsewhere, new files are not mapped, or a unit links to specs it does not own.
Pattern drift
A feature bypasses a required implementation pattern, UI/UX consistency, API conventions, etc.
What Reqode Uses as the Architecture Contract
Reqode does not rely on one giant AI prompt. It stores architecture context as project artifacts that humans can review and AI agents can read.
Code Manifest
Unit Types
Software Units
Implementation Patterns
From written guidance to enforceable feedback
The same rules that guide developers and AI agents are used by Unit Guidelines Verifier. If a change breaks the expected architecture, the result is visible on the unit and in the Findings queue.
Findings Turn Drift into Work
Reqode does not stop at "something looks wrong." A Finding stores evidence, severity, affected artifacts, and solution actions that point to the right performer.
Fix code
The architecture rule is valid and implementation violates it. Send the Finding, Unit, manifest, Unit Type, guidelines, and files to a coding assistant.
FINDING-*Fix unit metadata
The map is stale: files, dependencies, consumers, unit-specific guidelines, or Unit-Spec relations need correction before code is judged.
Fix architecture rules
The code is intentional, but the Code Manifest or Unit Type rules are outdated. Route the change through architecture review.
Decide intent
The verifier found a real conflict, but the team must decide whether product behavior, architecture guidance, or implementation should change.
Give the assistant a Finding, not a vague cleanup task
The coding assistant can start from the concrete architecture violation and read Reqode MCP context before editing files.
That context includes the target Unit, source files, Code Manifest, Unit Type rules, unit-specific guidelines, dependencies, and Finding evidence.
Start repair from verified evidence
A good coding prompt can be short because Reqode provides the architecture context.
Use Reqode MCP as a source of truth. Start from FINDING-123 and U-456.
Automate Discovery and Verification After Changes
Configure AI Automations per branch and subsystem so changed files and unverified units do not wait for a manual audit.
Units Discovery
Processes files with unknown unit sync state and updates units, file assignments, dependencies, ignored files, and Unit-Spec links after backend validation.

Unit Guidelines Compliance Check
Runs Unit Guidelines Verifier for units that need verification, updates the unit status/result/date, and creates or solves guideline Findings.

Specs - Code Alignment Check
Runs Unit Alignment Verifier when responsibility drift may also affect requirements, data entities, user interfaces, or API operations.

See the local Finding and the system-level picture
The current Project Dashboard can show subsystem-level quality groups, including Code Guidelines Findings, Unit-Spec Alignment Findings, Specification Inconsistency Findings, and Security Findings.
A broader architecture dashboard is coming soon. It can show verification coverage, stale units, unlinked files, Unit Types with recurring Findings, and drift trend after recent changes.
Keep code inside the architecture you chose
Reqode makes architecture rules visible to humans, available to AI agents, and verifiable after changes. Drift becomes evidence, Findings, repair work, and a new verification run.
