fix: improve repository method name suggestions and patterns

- Add smart context-aware suggestions for repository method names
  - queryUsers() → search, findBy[Property]
  - selectById() → findBy[Property], get[Entity]
  - insertUser() → create, add[Entity], store[Entity]
  - And more intelligent pattern matching

- Expand domain method patterns support
  - find*() methods (findNodes, findNodeById, findSimilar)
  - saveAll() batch operations
  - deleteBy*() methods (deleteByPath, deleteById)
  - deleteAll() clear operations
  - add*() methods (addRelationship, addItem)
  - initializeCollection() initialization

- Remove findAll from ORM blacklist (valid domain method)

- Reduce complexity in suggestDomainMethodName (22 → 9)

+## Development Workflow
+
+### Complete Feature Development & Release Workflow
+
+This workflow ensures high quality and consistency from feature implementation to package publication.
+
+#### Phase 1: Feature Planning & Implementation
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create feature branch (if needed)
+git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
+
+# 2. Implement feature following Clean Architecture
+# - Add to appropriate layer (domain/application/infrastructure/cli)
+# - Follow naming conventions
+# - Keep functions small and focused
+
+# 3. Update constants if adding CLI options
+# Edit: packages/guardian/src/cli/constants.ts
+```
+
+#### Phase 2: Quality Checks (Run After Implementation)
+
+```bash
+# Navigate to package
+cd packages/guardian
+
+# 1. Format code (REQUIRED - 4 spaces indentation)
+pnpm format
+
+# 2. Build to check compilation
+pnpm build
+
+# 3. Run linter (must pass with 0 errors, 0 warnings)
+cd ../.. && pnpm eslint "packages/**/*.ts" --fix
+
+# 4. Run tests (all must pass)
+pnpm test:run
+
+# 5. Check coverage (must be ≥80%)
+pnpm test:coverage
+```
+
+**Quality Gates:**
+- ✅ Format: No changes after `pnpm format`
+- ✅ Build: TypeScript compiles without errors
+- ✅ Lint: 0 errors, 0 warnings
+- ✅ Tests: All tests pass (292/292)
+- ✅ Coverage: ≥80% on all metrics
+
+#### Phase 3: Documentation Updates
+
+```bash
+# 1. Update README.md
+# - Add new feature to Features section
+# - Update CLI Usage examples if CLI changed
+# - Update API documentation if public API changed
+# - Update TypeScript interfaces
+
+# 2. Update TODO.md
+# - Mark completed tasks as done
+# - Add new technical debt if discovered
+# - Document coverage issues for new files
+# - Update "Recent Updates" section with changes
+
+# 3. Update CHANGELOG.md (for releases)
+# - Add entry with version number
+# - List all changes (features, fixes, improvements)
+# - Follow Keep a Changelog format
+```
+
+#### Phase 4: Verification & Testing
+
+```bash
+# 1. Test CLI manually with examples
+cd packages/guardian
+node dist/cli/index.js check ./examples --limit 5
+
+# 2. Test new feature with different options
+node dist/cli/index.js check ./examples --only-critical
+node dist/cli/index.js check ./examples --min-severity high
+
+# 3. Verify output formatting and messages
+# - Check that all violations display correctly
+# - Verify severity labels and suggestions
+# - Test edge cases and error handling
+
+# 4. Run full quality check suite
+pnpm format && pnpm eslint "packages/**/*.ts" && pnpm build && pnpm test:run
+```
+
+#### Phase 5: Commit & Version
+
+```bash
+# 1. Stage changes
+git add .
+
+# 2. Commit with Conventional Commits format
+git commit -m "feat: add --limit option for output control"
+# or
+git commit -m "fix: resolve unused variable in detector"
+# or
+git commit -m "docs: update README with new features"
+
+# Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore
+
+# 3. Update package version (if releasing)
+cd packages/guardian
+npm version patch  # Bug fixes (0.5.2 → 0.5.3)
+npm version minor  # New features (0.5.2 → 0.6.0)
+npm version major  # Breaking changes (0.5.2 → 1.0.0)
+
+# 4. Push changes
+git push origin main  # or your branch
+git push --tags      # Push version tags
+```
+
+#### Phase 6: Publication (Maintainers Only)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Final verification before publish
+cd packages/guardian
+pnpm build && pnpm test:run && pnpm test:coverage
+
+# 2. Verify package contents
+npm pack --dry-run
+
+# 3. Publish to npm
+npm publish --access public
+
+# 4. Verify publication
+npm info @samiyev/guardian
+
+# 5. Test installation
+npm install -g @samiyev/guardian@latest
+guardian --version
+```

+**Test failures:**
+```bash
+# Run single test file
+pnpm vitest tests/path/to/test.test.ts
+
+# Run tests with UI
+pnpm test:ui
+
+# Run tests in watch mode for debugging
+pnpm test
+```
+
+**Coverage issues:**
+```bash
+# Generate detailed coverage report
+pnpm test:coverage
+
+# View HTML report
+open coverage/index.html
+
+# Check specific file coverage
+pnpm vitest --coverage --reporter=verbose
+```
+
 ## Important Notes
 
 - **Always run `pnpm format` before committing** to ensure 4-space indentation
 - **Fix ESLint warnings incrementally** - they indicate real type safety issues
-- **Coverage is enforced** - maintain 80% coverage for all metrics when running `pnpm test:coverage`
+- **Coverage is enforced** - maintain 80% coverage for all metrics when running `pnpm test:coverage`
+- **Test CLI manually** - automated tests don't cover CLI output formatting
+- **Update documentation** - README.md and TODO.md should always reflect current state
+- **Follow Clean Architecture** - keep layers separate and dependencies flowing inward

packages/guardian/CHANGELOG.md

@@ -5,6 +5,257 @@ All notable changes to @samiyev/guardian will be documented in this file.
 The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
 and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
+## [0.6.4] - 2025-11-24
+
+### Added
+
+**🎯 Smart Context-Aware Suggestions for Repository Method Names**
+
+Guardian now provides intelligent, context-specific suggestions when it detects non-domain method names in repositories.
+
+- ✅ **Intelligent method name analysis:**
+  - `queryUsers()` → Suggests: `search`, `findBy[Property]`
+  - `selectById()` → Suggests: `findBy[Property]`, `get[Entity]`
+  - `insertUser()` → Suggests: `create`, `add[Entity]`, `store[Entity]`
+  - `updateRecord()` → Suggests: `update`, `modify[Entity]`
+  - `upsertUser()` → Suggests: `save`, `store[Entity]`
+  - `removeUser()` → Suggests: `delete`, `removeBy[Property]`
+  - `fetchUserData()` → Suggests: `findBy[Property]`, `get[Entity]`
+  - And more technical patterns detected automatically!
+
+- 🎯 **Impact:**
+  - Developers get actionable, relevant suggestions instead of generic examples
+  - Faster refactoring with specific naming alternatives
+  - Better learning experience for developers new to DDD
+
+### Fixed
+
+- ✅ **Expanded domain method patterns support:**
+  - `find*()` methods - e.g., `findNodes()`, `findNodeById()`, `findSimilar()`
+  - `saveAll()` - batch save operations
+  - `deleteBy*()` methods - e.g., `deleteByPath()`, `deleteById()`
+  - `deleteAll()` - clear all entities
+  - `add*()` methods - e.g., `addRelationship()`, `addItem()`
+  - `initializeCollection()` - collection initialization
+
+- 🐛 **Removed `findAll` from technical methods blacklist:**
+  - `findAll()` is now correctly recognized as a standard domain method
+  - Reduced false positives for repositories using this common pattern
+
+### Technical
+
+- Added `suggestDomainMethodName()` method in `RepositoryPatternDetector.ts` with keyword-based suggestion mapping
+- Updated `getNonDomainMethodSuggestion()` in `RepositoryViolation.ts` to extract and use smart suggestions
+- Refactored suggestion logic to reduce cyclomatic complexity (22 → 9)
+- Enhanced `domainMethodPatterns` with 9 additional patterns
+- All 333 tests passing
+
+## [0.6.3] - 2025-11-24
+
+### Fixed
+
+**🐛 Repository Pattern Detection - Reduced False Positives**
+
+Fixed overly strict repository method name validation that was flagging valid DDD patterns as violations.
+
+- ✅ **Added support for common DDD repository patterns:**
+  - `has*()` methods - e.g., `hasProject()`, `hasPermission()`
+  - `is*()` methods - e.g., `isCached()`, `isActive()`
+  - `exists*()` methods - e.g., `existsById()`, `existsByEmail()`
+  - `clear*()` methods - e.g., `clearCache()`, `clearAll()`
+  - `store*()` methods - e.g., `storeMetadata()`, `storeFile()`
+  - Lifecycle methods: `initialize()`, `close()`, `connect()`, `disconnect()`
+
+- 🎯 **Impact:**
+  - Reduced false positives in real-world DDD projects
+  - Better alignment with Domain-Driven Design best practices
+  - More practical for cache repositories, connection management, and business queries
+
+- 📚 **Why these patterns are valid:**
+  - Martin Fowler's Repository Pattern allows domain-specific query methods
+  - DDD recommends using ubiquitous language in method names
+  - Lifecycle methods are standard for resource management in repositories
+
+### Technical
+
+- Updated `domainMethodPatterns` in `RepositoryPatternDetector.ts` with 11 additional valid patterns
+- All existing functionality remains unchanged
+
+## [0.6.2] - 2025-11-24
+
+### Added
+
+**📚 Research-Backed Documentation**

+  - `docs/RESEARCH_CITATIONS.md` - Complete academic and industry references (551 lines)
+  - Organized by detection type with quick navigation
+
+- ✅ **Micro-Citations in README**
+  - Each feature now includes one-line citation with "Why?" link
+  - Examples: "Based on MIT 6.031, SonarQube RSPEC-109"
+  - Non-intrusive, opt-in for users who want to learn more
+
+- ✅ **CLI Help Enhancement**
+  - Added "BACKED BY RESEARCH" section to `--help` output
+  - Mentions MIT, Martin Fowler, Robert C. Martin, industry standards
+  - Link to full documentation
+
+### Changed

+
+## [0.6.0] - 2025-11-24
+
+### Added
+
+**🎯 Output Limit Control**
+
+Guardian now supports limiting detailed violation output for large codebases!
+
+- ✅ **--limit Option**
+  - Limit detailed violation output per category: `guardian check src --limit 10`
+  - Short form: `-l <number>`
+  - Works with severity filters: `guardian check src --only-critical --limit 5`

+
+## [0.5.2] - 2025-11-24
+
+### Added
+
+**🎯 Severity-Based Prioritization**
+
+Guardian now intelligently prioritizes violations by severity, helping teams focus on critical issues first!
+
+- ✅ **Severity Levels**
+  - 🔴 **CRITICAL**: Circular dependencies, Repository pattern violations
+  - 🟠 **HIGH**: Dependency direction violations, Framework leaks, Entity exposures
+  - 🟡 **MEDIUM**: Naming violations, Architecture violations

+## Version 0.5.2 - Severity-Based Prioritization 🎯 ✅ RELEASED
+
+**Released:** 2025-11-24
+**Priority:** HIGH
+
+Intelligently prioritize violations by severity to help teams focus on critical issues first:
+
+```bash
+# Show only critical issues
+guardian check src --only-critical
+
+# Show high severity and above
+guardian check src --min-severity high
+```
+
+**Severity Levels:**
+- 🔴 **CRITICAL**: Circular dependencies, Repository pattern violations
+- 🟠 **HIGH**: Dependency direction violations, Framework leaks, Entity exposures
+- 🟡 **MEDIUM**: Naming violations, Architecture violations
+- 🟢 **LOW**: Hardcoded values
+
+**Implemented Features:**
+- ✅ Automatic sorting by severity (most critical first)
+- ✅ CLI flags: `--min-severity <level>` and `--only-critical`
+- ✅ Color-coded severity labels in output (🔴🟠🟡🟢)
+- ✅ Visual severity group headers with separators
+- ✅ Filtering messages when filters active
+- ✅ All violation interfaces include severity field
+- ✅ 292 tests passing with 90%+ coverage
+- ✅ Backwards compatible - no breaking changes
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Focus on critical architectural violations first
+- Gradual technical debt reduction
+- Better CI/CD integration (fail on critical only)
+- Improved developer experience with visual prioritization
+
+---
+
+## Version 0.6.0 - Output Limit Control & ESLint Optimization 🎯 ✅ RELEASED
+
+**Released:** 2025-11-24
+**Priority:** MEDIUM
+
+Control output verbosity for large codebases and achieve perfect code quality:
+
+```bash
+# Limit detailed output for large codebases
+guardian check src --limit 10
+
+# Combine with severity filters
+guardian check src --only-critical --limit 5
+
+# Short form
+guardian check src -l 20
+```
+
+**Implemented Features:**
+- ✅ `--limit` option to control detailed violation output per category
+- ✅ Short form `-l <number>` for convenience
+- ✅ Works seamlessly with `--only-critical` and `--min-severity` filters
+- ✅ Warning message when violations exceed limit
+- ✅ Full statistics always displayed at the end
+- ✅ Severity display constants extracted (`SEVERITY_DISPLAY_LABELS`, `SEVERITY_SECTION_HEADERS`)
+- ✅ ESLint configuration optimized (reduced warnings from 129 to 0)
+- ✅ CLI-specific overrides for no-console, complexity, max-lines-per-function
+- ✅ Dead code removal (unused IBaseRepository interface)
+- ✅ Complete development workflow added to CLAUDE.md
+- ✅ 292 tests passing with 90.63% coverage
+- ✅ Guardian self-check: ✅ 0 issues found
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Better experience with large codebases
+- Faster CI/CD output
+- Improved CLI maintainability with constants
+- Perfect ESLint score (0 errors, 0 warnings)
+- Guardian now passes its own quality checks
+
+---
+
+## Version 0.5.1 - Code Quality Refactoring 🧹 ✅ RELEASED
+
+**Released:** 2025-11-24
+**Priority:** MEDIUM
+
+Internal refactoring to eliminate hardcoded values and improve maintainability:
+
+**Implemented Features:**
+- ✅ Extracted 30+ constants from hardcoded strings
+- ✅ New constants files: paths.ts, extended Messages.ts
+- ✅ Reduced hardcoded values from 37 to 1 (97% improvement)
+- ✅ Guardian passes its own checks (0 violations in src/)
+- ✅ All 292 tests passing
+- ✅ No breaking changes - fully backwards compatible

+## 1. Hardcode Detection (Magic Numbers & Strings)
+
+### Academic Research
+
+**What do developers consider magic literals? A smalltalk perspective** (2022)
+- Published in ScienceDirect
+- Conducted qualitative and quantitative studies on magic literals
+- Analyzed 26 developers reviewing about 24,000 literals from more than 3,500 methods
+- Studies ranged from small (four classes) to large (7,700 classes) systems
+- Reference: [ScienceDirect Article](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0950584922000908)
+
+### Industry Standards
+
+**MIT Course 6.031: Software Construction - Code Review**
+- Magic numbers fail three key measures of code quality:
+  - Not safe from bugs (SFB)
+  - Not easy to understand (ETU)
+  - Not ready for change (RFC)
+- Reference: [MIT Reading 4: Code Review](https://web.mit.edu/6.031/www/sp17/classes/04-code-review/)
+
+**SonarQube Static Analysis Rules**
+- Rule RSPEC-109: "Magic numbers should not be used"
+- Identifies hardcoded values and magic numbers as code smells
+- Reference: [SonarSource C Rule RSPEC-109](https://rules.sonarsource.com/c/rspec-109/)
+
+### Historical Context
+
+**Wikipedia: Magic Number (Programming)**
+- Anti-pattern that breaks one of the oldest rules of programming
+- Dating back to COBOL, FORTRAN, and PL/1 manuals of the 1960s
+- Defined as "using a numeric literal in source code that has a special meaning that is less than clear"
+- Reference: [Wikipedia - Magic Number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming))
+
+### Best Practices
+
+**DRY Principle Violation**
+- Magic numbers violate the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle
+- Encourage duplicated hardcoded values instead of centralized definitions
+- Make code brittle and prone to errors
+- Reference: [Stack Overflow - What are magic numbers](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47882/what-are-magic-numbers-and-why-do-some-consider-them-bad)
+
+---
+
+## 2. Circular Dependencies
+
+### Expert Opinion
+
+**Martin Fowler on Breaking Cycles**
+- "Putting abstract classes in supertype package is good way of breaking cycles in the dependency structure"
+- Suggests using abstraction as a technique to break circular dependencies
+- Reference: [TechTarget - Circular Dependencies in Microservices](https://www.techtarget.com/searchapparchitecture/tip/The-vicious-cycle-of-circular-dependencies-in-microservices)
+
+### Impact on Software Quality
+
+**Maintainability Issues**
+- Circular dependencies make code difficult to read and maintain over time
+- Open the door to error-prone applications that are difficult to test
+- Changes to a single module cause a large ripple effect of errors
+- Reference: [TechTarget - Circular Dependencies](https://www.techtarget.com/searchapparchitecture/tip/The-vicious-cycle-of-circular-dependencies-in-microservices)
+
+**Component Coupling**
+- "You can't change or evolve components independently of each other"
+- Services become hardly maintainable and highly coupled
+- Components cannot be tested in isolation
+- Reference: [DEV Community - Circular Dependencies Between Microservices](https://dev.to/cloudx/circular-dependencies-between-microservices-11hn)
+
+### Solution Patterns
+
+**Shopify Engineering: Repository Pattern**
+- "Remove Circular Dependencies by Using Dependency Injection and the Repository Pattern in Ruby"
+- Demonstrates practical application of breaking circular dependencies
+- Reference: [Shopify Engineering](https://shopify.engineering/repository-pattern-ruby)

+
+## 3. Clean Architecture / Layered Architecture
+
+### The Dependency Rule - Robert C. Martin
+
+**Book: Clean Architecture: A Craftsman's Guide to Software Structure and Design** (2017)
+- Author: Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob)
+- Publisher: Prentice Hall
+- ISBN: 978-0134494166
+- Available at: [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Clean-Architecture-Craftsmans-Software-Structure/dp/0134494164)
+
+**The Dependency Rule (Core Principle)**
+- "Source code dependencies can only point inwards"
+- "Nothing in an inner circle can know anything at all about something in an outer circle"
+- "The name of something declared in an outer circle must not be mentioned by the code in the inner circle"
+- Reference: [The Clean Architecture Blog Post](https://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2012/08/13/the-clean-architecture.html)
+
+**Layer Organization**
+- Dependencies flow towards higher-level policies and domain logic
+- Inner layers (domain) should not depend on outer layers (infrastructure)
+- Use dynamic polymorphism to create source code dependencies that oppose the flow of control
+- Reference: [Clean Architecture Beginner's Guide](https://betterprogramming.pub/the-clean-architecture-beginners-guide-e4b7058c1165)

+### SOLID Principles - Robert C. Martin
+
+**Paper: Design Principles and Design Patterns** (2000)
+- Author: Robert C. Martin
+- Introduced the basic principles of SOLID design
+- SOLID acronym coined by Michael Feathers around 2004
+- Reference: [Wikipedia - SOLID](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOLID)
+
+**Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP)**
+- High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules; both should depend on abstractions
+- Abstractions should not depend on details; details should depend on abstractions
+- Enables loosely coupled components and simpler testing
+- Reference: [DigitalOcean - SOLID Principles](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/conceptual-articles/s-o-l-i-d-the-first-five-principles-of-object-oriented-design)
+
+**Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)**
+- "There should never be more than one reason for a class to change"
+- Every class should have only one responsibility
+- Classes with single responsibility are easier to understand, test, and modify

+## 4. Framework Leak Detection
+
+### Hexagonal Architecture (Ports & Adapters)
+
+**Original Paper: The Hexagonal (Ports & Adapters) Architecture** (2005)
+- Author: Alistair Cockburn
+- Document: HaT Technical Report 2005.02
+- Date: 2005-09-04 (v 0.9)
+- Intent: "Allow an application to equally be driven by users, programs, automated test or batch scripts, and to be developed and tested in isolation from its eventual run-time devices and databases"
+- Reference: [Alistair Cockburn - Hexagonal Architecture](https://alistair.cockburn.us/hexagonal-architecture)
+
+### Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Hexagonal Architecture
+
+**Domain-Driven Hexagon Repository**
+- Comprehensive guide combining DDD with hexagonal architecture
+- "Application Core shouldn't depend on frameworks or access external resources directly"
+- "External calls should be done through ports (interfaces)"
+- Reference: [GitHub - Domain-Driven Hexagon](https://github.com/Sairyss/domain-driven-hexagon)
+
+**AWS Prescriptive Guidance**
+- "The hexagonal architecture pattern is used to isolate business logic (domain logic) from related infrastructure code"
+- Outer layers can depend on inner layers, but inner layers never depend on outer layers
+- Reference: [AWS - Hexagonal Architecture Pattern](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prescriptive-guidance/latest/cloud-design-patterns/hexagonal-architecture.html)
+
+### Preventing Logic Leakage
+
+**Ports and Adapters Benefits**
+- Shields domain logic from leaking out of application's core
+- Prevents technical details (like JPA entities) and libraries (like O/R mappers) from leaking into application
+- Keeps application agnostic of external actors
+- Reference: [Medium - Hexagonal Architecture](https://medium.com/ssense-tech/hexagonal-architecture-there-are-always-two-sides-to-every-story-bc0780ed7d9c)

+## 5. Entity Exposure (DTO Pattern)
+
+### Martin Fowler's Pattern Definition
+
+**Book: Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture** (2002)
+- Author: Martin Fowler
+- Publisher: Addison-Wesley
+- First introduced the Data Transfer Object (DTO) pattern
+- Reference: [Martin Fowler - Data Transfer Object](https://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/dataTransferObject.html)
+
+**DTO Pattern Purpose**
+- "The main reason for using a Data Transfer Object is to batch up what would be multiple remote calls into a single call"
+- "DTOs are called Data Transfer Objects because their whole purpose is to shift data in expensive remote calls"
+- Part of implementing a coarse-grained interface needed for remote performance
+- Reference: [Martin Fowler's EAA Catalog](https://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/dataTransferObject.html)
+
+### LocalDTO Anti-Pattern
+
+**Martin Fowler on Local DTOs**
+- "In a local context, DTOs are not just unnecessary but actually harmful"
+- Harmful because coarse-grained API is more difficult to use
+- Requires extra work moving data from domain/data source layer into DTOs
+- Reference: [Martin Fowler - LocalDTO](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/LocalDTO.html)
+
+### Security and Encapsulation Benefits
+
+**Baeldung: The DTO Pattern**
+- DTOs provide only relevant information to the client
+- Hide sensitive data like passwords for security reasons
+- Decoupling persistence model from domain model reduces risk of exposing domain model
+- Reference: [Baeldung - DTO Pattern](https://www.baeldung.com/java-dto-pattern)
+
+**Wikipedia: Data Transfer Object**
+- Carries data between processes
+- Reduces the number of method calls
+- Industry-standard pattern for API design

+
+## Hardcode Detection
+
+### Why it matters
+
+Magic numbers and strings make code:
+- ❌ **Hard to maintain** - Changing a value requires finding all occurrences
+- ❌ **Error-prone** - Typos in repeated values cause bugs
+- ❌ **Difficult to understand** - What does `3000` mean without context?
+- ❌ **Not ready for change** - Configuration changes require code modifications
+
+### Who says so?
+
+**Academia:**
+- **MIT Course 6.031: Software Construction**
+  > "Magic numbers fail three key measures: Safe from bugs, Easy to understand, Ready for change"
+  - Used in MIT's software engineering curriculum
+  - [Read the course material](https://web.mit.edu/6.031/www/sp17/classes/04-code-review/)
+
+**Industry Standards:**
+- **SonarQube Rule RSPEC-109**: "Magic numbers should not be used"
+  - Used by 400,000+ organizations worldwide
+  - Identifies hardcoded values as code smells
+  - [View the rule](https://rules.sonarsource.com/c/rspec-109/)
+
+**Research:**
+- **2022 ScienceDirect Study**: "What do developers consider magic literals?"
+  - Analyzed 24,000 literals from 3,500+ methods
+  - Surveyed 26 professional developers
+  - [Read the paper](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0950584922000908)

+
+## Circular Dependencies
+
+### Why it matters
+
+Circular dependencies create:
+- ❌ **Tight coupling** - Components cannot evolve independently
+- ❌ **Testing difficulties** - Impossible to test modules in isolation
+- ❌ **Maintenance nightmares** - Changes cause ripple effects across codebase
+- ❌ **Build complexity** - Compilation order becomes problematic
+
+### Who says so?
+
+**Expert Opinion:**
+- **Martin Fowler**: Enterprise architecture patterns expert
+  > "Putting abstract classes in supertype package is good way of breaking cycles in the dependency structure"
+  - Recommends using abstraction to break cycles
+  - [Read on TechTarget](https://www.techtarget.com/searchapparchitecture/tip/The-vicious-cycle-of-circular-dependencies-in-microservices)

+**Real-world Solutions:**
+- **Shopify Engineering**: "Remove Circular Dependencies by Using Dependency Injection"
+  - Demonstrates practical application of Repository Pattern
+  - Production-proven solution from major tech company
+  - [Read the article](https://shopify.engineering/repository-pattern-ruby)
+
+**Impact Studies:**
+- Services become hardly maintainable and highly coupled
+- Open the door to error-prone applications
+- Components cannot be tested in isolation

+
+## Clean Architecture
+
+### Why it matters
+
+Clean Architecture principles ensure:
+- ✅ **Independence** - Business rules don't depend on frameworks
+- ✅ **Testability** - Business logic can be tested without UI/DB
+- ✅ **Flexibility** - Easy to swap frameworks and tools
+- ✅ **Maintainability** - Clear boundaries and responsibilities
+
+### The Dependency Rule
+
+**Robert C. Martin's Core Principle:**
+> "Source code dependencies can only point inwards. Nothing in an inner circle can know anything about something in an outer circle."
+
+**Layer Flow:**
+```
+Domain (innermost) ← Application ← Infrastructure (outermost)
+```
+
+### Who says so?
+
+**The Definitive Book:**
+- **Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob): "Clean Architecture" (2017)**
+  - Published by O'Reilly (Prentice Hall)
+  - Based on SOLID principles and decades of experience
+  - [Get the book](https://www.amazon.com/Clean-Architecture-Craftsmans-Software-Structure/dp/0134494164)
+
+**Core Principles:**
+- **SOLID Principles (2000)**: Foundation of Clean Architecture
+  - Single Responsibility Principle
+  - Open-Closed Principle
+  - Liskov Substitution Principle
+  - Interface Segregation Principle
+  - **Dependency Inversion Principle** (critical for layer separation)

+
+## Framework Leaks
+
+### Why it matters
+
+Framework dependencies in domain layer:
+- ❌ **Coupling to infrastructure** - Business logic tied to technical details
+- ❌ **Testing difficulties** - Cannot test without framework setup
+- ❌ **Framework lock-in** - Migration becomes impossible
+- ❌ **Violates Clean Architecture** - Breaks the Dependency Rule
+
+### Who says so?
+
+**Original Research:**
+- **Alistair Cockburn (2005): "Hexagonal Architecture"**
+  - HaT Technical Report 2005.02
+  > "Create your application to work without either a UI or a database so you can run automated regression-tests against the application, work when the database becomes unavailable, and link applications together without any user involvement."
+  - Original Ports & Adapters pattern
+  - [Read the original paper](https://alistair.cockburn.us/hexagonal-architecture)
+
+**Industry Adoption:**
+- **Robert C. Martin: "Clean Architecture" (2017)**
+  > "Frameworks are tools, not architectures"
+  - Frameworks belong in outer layers only
+
+- **AWS Prescriptive Guidance**: Documents hexagonal architecture patterns
+- **GitHub: Domain-Driven Hexagon**: Comprehensive implementation guide
+  - [View the guide](https://github.com/Sairyss/domain-driven-hexagon)
+
+**Key Insight:**
+The goal is to isolate the application's business logic from external resources like databases, message queues, HTTP frameworks, etc.

+
+## Entity Exposure
+
+### Why it matters
+
+Exposing domain entities directly:
+- ❌ **Breaks encapsulation** - Exposes internal domain structure
+- ❌ **Security risks** - May leak sensitive data (passwords, tokens)
+- ❌ **Coupling** - API tied to domain model changes
+- ❌ **Violates Single Responsibility** - Entities serve two purposes
+
+### Use DTOs Instead
+
+**Data Transfer Object (DTO) Pattern:**
+- Transform domain entities into simple data structures
+- Control exactly what data is exposed
+- Decouple API contracts from domain model
+- Separate concerns: domain logic vs. data transfer
+
+### Who says so?
+
+**The Definitive Source:**
+- **Martin Fowler: "Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture" (2002)**
+  - Defines the DTO pattern

+  > "An object that carries data between processes in order to reduce the number of method calls"
+  - [Read on martinfowler.com](https://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/dataTransferObject.html)
+
+**Purpose:**
+- Originally designed to batch remote calls and reduce network overhead
+- Modern use: Separate domain model from external representation
+- Prevents "God objects" that do too much
+
+**Warning: LocalDTO Anti-pattern:**
+Martin Fowler also warns about overusing DTOs in local contexts where they add unnecessary complexity.

+
+## Repository Pattern
+
+### Why it matters
+
+Repository pattern provides:
+- ✅ **Abstraction** - Domain doesn't know about persistence details
+- ✅ **Testability** - Easy to mock data access in tests
+- ✅ **Centralized queries** - Single place for data access logic
+- ✅ **Clean separation** - Domain logic separate from data access
+
+### Common Violations
+
+Guardian detects:
+- ORM types leaking into repository interfaces
+- Technical method names (`findOne`, `save`) instead of domain language
+- Direct ORM/database usage in use cases
+- `new Repository()` instantiation (should use DI)
+
+### Who says so?
+
+**The Definitive Source:**
+- **Martin Fowler: Enterprise Application Architecture Catalog**
+  > "Mediates between the domain and data mapping layers using a collection-like interface for accessing domain objects"
+  - Part of the Domain Logic Patterns
+  - [Read on martinfowler.com](https://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/repository.html)
+
+**Key Benefits:**
+- Minimizes duplicate query logic
+- Allows multiple repositories for different storage needs
+- Domain layer doesn't know about SQL, MongoDB, or any specific technology
+
+**Additional Support:**
+- **Microsoft Learn**: Official documentation on Repository Pattern
+- **Eric Evans**: Referenced in Domain-Driven Design book
+- **Listed as**: Data Source Architectural Pattern
+
+**Real-world Example:**
+```typescript
+// ❌ Bad: ORM leak in interface
+interface IUserRepository {
+    findOne(query: PrismaWhereInput): Promise<User>
+}
+
+// ✅ Good: Domain language
+interface IUserRepository {
+    findByEmail(email: Email): Promise<User | null>
+    findById(id: UserId): Promise<User | null>
+}
+```

+
+## Naming Conventions
+
+### Why it matters
+
+Consistent naming:
+- ✅ **Readability** - Code is self-documenting
+- ✅ **Predictability** - Developers know what to expect
+- ✅ **Maintainability** - Easier to navigate large codebases
+- ✅ **Team alignment** - Everyone follows same patterns
+
+### Guardian's Conventions
+
+**Domain Layer:**
+- Entities: `User.ts`, `Order.ts` (PascalCase nouns)
+- Services: `UserService.ts` (PascalCase + Service suffix)
+- Repositories: `IUserRepository.ts` (I prefix for interfaces)
+
+**Application Layer:**
+- Use cases: `CreateUser.ts`, `PlaceOrder.ts` (Verb + Noun)
+- DTOs: `UserDto.ts`, `CreateUserRequest.ts` (Dto/Request/Response suffix)
+- Mappers: `UserMapper.ts` (Mapper suffix)
+
+**Infrastructure Layer:**
+- Controllers: `UserController.ts` (Controller suffix)
+- Repositories: `MongoUserRepository.ts` (implementation name + Repository)
+
+### Who says so?
+
+**Industry Style Guides:**
+
+- **Google Java Style Guide**
+  - PascalCase for classes
+  - camelCase for methods and variables
+  - [Read the guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/javaguide.html)
+
+- **Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide**
+  - 145,000+ GitHub stars
+  - Industry standard for JavaScript/TypeScript
+  - [Read the guide](https://github.com/airbnb/javascript)
+
+- **Microsoft .NET Guidelines**
+  - PascalCase for types and public members
+  - Consistent across entire .NET ecosystem
+  - Widely adopted in C# and TypeScript communities
+
+**Use Case Naming:**
+- **TM Forum Standard**: Verb + Noun pattern for operations
+  - Actions start with verbs: Create, Update, Delete, Get, Process
+  - Clear intent from filename
+  - Examples: `ProcessOrder.ts`, `ValidateInput.ts`
+
+**General Principle:**
+- **Wikipedia: Naming Convention (Programming)**
+  - "Classes are nouns, methods are verbs"
+  - Widely accepted across languages and paradigms
