Seeking Clarification on Project Architecture Decisions for Scalable Feature Development

[Freewill-stack]

I’m contributing to this project through GSSoC and want to ensure my upcoming feature development aligns with the long-term architectural vision. Could the maintainers clarify the core architectural principles, design patterns, and scalability constraints that contributors must adhere to when implementing new modules? Understanding these decisions will help me design features that integrate cleanly without creating technical debt.

The core architectural principles for this project focus on modularity, scalability, and maintainability, so every new feature must integrate cleanly into the existing structure without creating unnecessary coupling. We primarily follow a layered architecture where business logic, data handling, and presentation are clearly separated, and contributors should ensure that any new module respects these boundaries. Design patterns such as dependency injection, interface-based abstractions, and centralized state management (where applicable) help maintain consistency across the codebase. From a scalability standpoint, features should avoid hardcoded configurations, ensure efficient resource usage, and follow asynchronous or event-driven patterns when dealing with high-volume tasks. Most importantly, all new contributions should be extensible, thoroughly documented, and aligned with our coding standards to prevent long-term technical debt. If you’re proposing a feature that introduces new interactions or dependencies, outlining the design in an issue comment before implementation will help maintainers validate its alignment with the overall architecture.
