    • Imports like ../aggregates/Entity from repositories/Repo are now allowed
    • This correctly allows ICodeProjectRepository to import CodeProject from the same bounded context
    • Cross-aggregate imports (with multiple ../..) are still detected as violations

Fixed

  • 🐛 False positive: errors folder detected as aggregate:
    • Added errors and exceptions to DDD_FOLDER_NAMES constants
    • Added to nonAggregateFolderNames — these folders are no longer detected as aggregates
    • Added to allowedFolderNames — imports from errors/exceptions folders are allowed across aggregates
    • Fixes issue where domain/code-analysis/errors/ was incorrectly identified as a separate aggregate named "errors"

[0.7.1] - 2025-11-25

Fixed

  • 🐛 Aggregate Boundary Detection for relative paths:

[0.7.0] - 2025-11-25

Added

  • Aggregate Boundary Detector:

    • Detects direct entity references across aggregate boundaries
    • Validates that aggregates reference each other only by ID or Value Objects

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

[0.1.0] - 2025-11-24

Added

🎉 Initial Release of @samiyev/guardian

Code quality guardian for vibe coders and enterprise teams - your AI coding companion that keeps code clean while you move fast.

Core Features

  • Hardcode Detection

    • Detects magic numbers (timeouts, ports, limits, retries, delays)
    • Detects magic strings (URLs, connection strings, API endpoints, error messages)
    • Smart context analysis to reduce false positives
    • Automatic constant name suggestions based on context
    • Location suggestions for extracted constants (domain/shared/infrastructure)
    • Ignores allowed numbers: -1, 0, 1, 2, 10, 100, 1000
    • Ignores console.log, imports, tests, and exported constants
  • 🔄 Circular Dependency Detection

    • Detects import cycles in codebase (A → B → A, A → B → C → A, etc.)
    • Shows complete dependency chain for each cycle
    • CLI output with detailed cycle path and severity
    • Supports detection of multiple independent cycles
    • Handles complex graphs with both cyclic and acyclic parts
  • 📝 Naming Convention Enforcement

    • Layer-based naming rules for Clean Architecture
    • Domain Layer:
      • Entities: PascalCase nouns (User.ts, Order.ts)
      • Services: *Service suffix (UserService.ts)
      • Repository interfaces: I*Repository prefix (IUserRepository.ts)
      • Forbidden patterns: Dto, Controller, Request, Response
    • Application Layer:
      • Use cases: Verb + Noun in PascalCase (CreateUser.ts, UpdateProfile.ts)
      • DTOs: *Dto, *Request, *Response suffixes
      • Mappers: *Mapper suffix
    • Infrastructure Layer:
      • Controllers: *Controller suffix
      • Repository implementations: *Repository suffix
      • Services: *Service or *Adapter suffixes
    • Smart exclusion system for base classes
    • Support for 26 standard use case verbs
  • 🏗️ Architecture Violations

    • Clean Architecture layer validation
    • Dependency rules enforcement:
      • Domain → can only import Shared
      • Application → can import Domain, Shared
      • Infrastructure → can import Domain, Application, Shared
      • Shared → cannot import anything
    • Layer detection from file paths
    • Import statement analysis
  • 🔌 Framework Leak Detection

    • Detects framework-specific imports in domain layer
    • Identifies coupling between domain and infrastructure concerns
    • Checks for HTTP framework leaks (Express, Fastify, Koa, Hapi, NestJS)
    • Checks for ORM/Database leaks (Prisma, TypeORM, Sequelize, Mongoose, Drizzle)
    • Checks for external service leaks (AWS SDK, Firebase, Stripe, Twilio)
    • Reports violations with framework type and suggested fixes
    • Helps maintain clean domain boundaries
