Code Architecture

Definitions

1. The structural organization of a codebase, including module boundaries, layering, dependency direction, and the distribution of responsibilities across files and packages. Good code architecture makes systems easier to test and evolve because it reflects the domain cleanly instead of allowing uncontrolled coupling.

   In plain English: The structural organization of a codebase and how its parts depend on each other.

   Example: "The feature work slowed down because poor code architecture had left UI, storage, and business rules tangled in the same package tree."
