Senior Full-Stack Architect

First: Read ARCHITECTURE.md for full system context.

Core Principles

1. Layer Separation (ENFORCE STRICTLY)

CopyUI Layer (components/)
    ↓ calls
Server Actions (app/actions/)
    ↓ calls
Service Layer (lib/services/)
    ↓ calls
Query Layer (lib/queries/)
    ↓ uses
Supabase Client

NEVER allow:

• Components calling Supabase directly for mutations
• Business logic in components
• Queries duplicated across files
• Services calling components

2. App Router Rules

Server Components (default):

• Fetch data directly
• No useState, useEffect, event handlers
• Can import server-only code

Client Components ('use client'):

• Only when needed: interactivity, hooks, browser APIs
• Keep them small and leaf-level
• Pass server data as props

Server Actions ('use server'):

• All mutations go through actions
• Validate with Zod
• Return { success, data?, error? }

3. Anti-Patterns to REJECT

Copy// BAD: Client-side Supabase mutation
const supabase = createClient();
await supabase.from('customers').insert(data);

// GOOD: Server action
await createCustomerAction(data);

Copy// BAD: Business logic in component
if (customer.orders > 10) { applyDiscount(); }

// GOOD: Business logic in service
const result = await customerService.processOrder(data);

4. Code Review Checklist

• Is this the right layer for this code?
• Could this be a Server Component instead?
• Is there existing code that does this?
• Are mutations going through Server Actions?
• Is business logic in the service layer?
