Why Your Architecture Should Fail the Build: The CI/CD Revolution Nobody Asked For

Architecture testing in CI/CD pipelines isn’t just another checkbox, it’s a fundamental shift in how we treat software design. Tools like ArchUnit, arkitect, and dependency-cruiser are turning architectural rules from wishful thinking into build-breaking enforcement.
