Mobile Architecture Audit

Audit mobile architecture

Assess correctness across application lifecycle transitions, unreliable networks, local persistence, and operating-system constraints.

Load the contract

Read these files completely:

• ../../resources/references/review-contract.md
• ../../resources/references/knowledge-contract.md
• ../../resources/references/mobile-rules.md
• ../../resources/rules/mobile-core.yaml
• ../../resources/knowledge/manifest.yaml

Load the project profile, constraints, and critical flows. Pair with project-architecture-audit for backend, shared contracts, or full-product scope.

Workflow

1. Require a valid project Profile before the specialized audit. When

.architecture/profile.yaml is missing and persistence is allowed, run architecture_tool.py prepare-project-audit --repo , then validate the project. When the user explicitly requests read-only work, do not create governance; report the missing Profile and stop with a project-architecture-audit bootstrap handoff.

1. Set one stable `` for the audit and preserve every generated input

under .architecture/reviews/inputs/; never reuse or overwrite a prior Review's evidence chain. Inspect current facts, build a current Profile from the declared Profile, then select Knowledge:

``bash python3 ../../resources/scripts/architecture_tool.py inspect-repository \ --repo \ --output /.architecture/reviews/inputs/-repository-facts.yaml python3 ../../resources/scripts/architecture_tool.py build-profile \ --facts /.architecture/reviews/inputs/-repository-facts.yaml \ --declared /.architecture/profile.yaml \ --output /.architecture/reviews/inputs/-profile.yaml python3 ../../resources/scripts/architecture_tool.py select-knowledge \ --facts /.architecture/reviews/inputs/-repository-facts.yaml \ --profile /.architecture/reviews/inputs/-profile.yaml \ --task "" \ --skill mobile-architecture-audit \ --output /.architecture/reviews/inputs/-knowledge-selection.yaml \ --context-output /.architecture/reviews/inputs/-knowledge-context.yaml python3 ../../resources/scripts/architecture_tool.py validate-knowledge-context \ /.architecture/reviews/inputs/-knowledge-context.yaml \ --selection /.architecture/reviews/inputs/-knowledge-selection.yaml \ --facts /.architecture/reviews/inputs/-repository-facts.yaml \ --profile /.architecture/reviews/inputs/-profile.yaml ``

Read the compact context index and every Markdown path it selects only after validation succeeds; reserve the full exclusion ledger for scripts, Reviews, and Gates. Do not load unrelated packs.

1. Map state ownership across views, domain logic, repositories, local stores, caches, remote APIs, extensions, widgets, and background tasks.
2. Trace the critical flows through cold launch, foreground/background transitions, offline mode, retries, cancellation, and process termination.
3. Trace schema and data migrations, including downgrade assumptions, partial failure, backup/restore, and store corruption handling.
4. Trace synchronization identities, ordering, conflict policy, tombstones, idempotency, and eventual consistency.
5. Inspect notification scheduling, authorization changes, timezone and calendar behavior, deduplication, cancellation, and reconciliation.
6. Inspect network caching, stale data policy, connectivity assumptions, request cancellation, and error recovery.
7. Inspect SwiftUI or equivalent state lifetimes, actor/thread isolation, observation boundaries, and test seams.
8. Inspect privacy manifests, permission purpose, sensitive storage, logs, analytics, and data deletion.
9. Assess battery, background execution, and resource pressure against actual product requirements.

Do not flag local-first architecture, SQLite/Core Data/SwiftData, singletons, or client-side logic without proving a violated product invariant.

Verification handoff and output

Apply the candidate evidence requirements in review-contract.md. Leave every finding at verification.status: candidate.

Write persistent artifacts under .architecture/reviews/ using kind mobile:

• -mobile-candidates.yaml;

Start machine-readable output from ../../resources/templates/review.yaml and set review.kind to mobile.

Use Review schema 1.2. Bind the exact per-run repository-facts, Profile, and mobile knowledge-selection paths and hashes, preserve fact/inference boundaries, enumerate critical-flow coverage, and validate with:

python3 ../../resources/scripts/architecture_tool.py validate-review \
   --project 
python3 ../../resources/scripts/architecture_tool.py validate-coverage \
  --project  --review  --allow-candidates

Hand off architecture, candidate strengths and risks, lifecycle and critical-flow impact, coverage, counter-evidence, and limitations. Use $architecture-finding-verifier for confirmed conclusions and the final report. Do not prescribe fixes.
