Architectural Guardrails

They specify allowed patterns, discouraged antipatterns, and measurable indicators to ensure consistency and scalability. Guardrails help teams retain autonomy while reducing technical risk and preventing architectural drift. They can be enforced through reviews, linters, or CI policies.
