Pattern Proposal: Code Intelligence and Architecture Alignment
Summary
Translate codebase structure into architecture evidence, enabling continuous alignment between intended architecture and implementation reality, and supporting both prevention and detection of architectural drift.
Candidate Pattern
- ID:
pattern-code-intelligence-alignment - Classification: intelligence
- Maturity: strategic_direction
- Type: future_direction
Observed Signals
- Code structure analysis
- AID-vs-code comparison
- Drift detection
Evidence
Architecture Work
Supporting Evidence
Scope Assessment
- Evidence Strength: medium
- Confidence: medium
- Applies to: intelligence, governance, automation
Rationale
- Grounds AID and AEM claims in implementation evidence, increasing trust.
- Enables early drift detection and improves change impact analysis.
