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)
