check

Before committing to this architectural choice: - Did you read the existing code/architecture, or are you assuming its shape? - Is there an existing ADR that already decided this? Check with docs/scripts/adr list --group if the project has ADRs. - Does this codebase already solve this problem a different way? Grep for similar patterns before introducing a new one. - What is the blast radius — how many files/modules touch this interface? - Are you introducing a new pattern where an existing one would work?
