CURRENT FIELDNOTES

Architecture is easier to change when the wiring is visible.

NOTE / 2026.08

Compiler and Compose migrations can affect generated wiring, metadata, plugins, and target compatibility.

NOTE / 2026.08

A small inventory makes hidden constructors, qualifiers, scopes, and platform bindings easier to review.

NOTE / 2026.08

Container definitions expose ownership confusion, oversized modules, unstable qualifiers, and concealed side effects.

NOTE / 2026.08

Shared code should describe the capability it needs while each target supplies the platform implementation.

NOTE / 2026.08

Recomposition, navigation, and process lifetime are different events; a dependency scope must say which one it follows.

NOTE / 2026.08

A controlled upgrade checks definitions, scopes, package changes, startup paths, and rollback evidence.

NOTE / 2026.08

A roadmap is a direction signal; an application still needs evidence, constraints, and a local adoption decision.

NOTE / 2026.08

Compiler validation catches structural errors; runtime tests still cover parameters, configuration, and lifecycle behavior.
