# Architecture Audits

## Audit Pattern: Adversarial Two-Round Review with Code Review

### Format

Two independent reviewers (typically Tyre + Troblum) run a structured architecture audit in two rounds:

**Round 1 — Independent Reviews (parallel)**
- Each reviewer independently analyzes the architecture plan AND current code
- Covers decisions, implementation, risks, scalability, and recommendations
- Reviewers do not see each other's output

**Round 2 — Adversarial Debate (parallel)**
- Each reviewer receives the other's Round 1 findings
- Writes a debate response: AGREE / PUSH BACK / SYNTHESIZE per finding
- Challenges assumptions, catches blind spots, reconciles priorities

**Synthesis — Consensus Recommendations**
- Merged priority list both reviewers sign off on
- Items rated by sprint and effort
- "Not Accepted" section for recommendations that were debated and deferred

### Scope

Each review covers:
- Architecture decisions (all `decisions/*.md` domain files)
- Current implementation (server Rust code, client GDScript code, tests)
- Technical risk assessment with severity ratings
- Decision coherence and gaps
- Scalability and performance analysis
- Implementation readiness
- Prioritized recommendations

### Output

Single document per audit, date-coded: `architecture-review-YYYY-MM-DD.md`

### Reviewers

- **Tyre** (Technical Architect, internal) — focuses on decision coherence, system design, implementation readiness, algorithm selection
- **Troblum** (External Technical Consultant) — focuses on technology evaluation, operational concerns, failure modes, performance profiling, time bombs

### When to Run

- Before major sprint milestones
- After significant architecture decisions
- When scope changes require re-evaluation
- At kill switch checkpoints (D-020)
