Dependency rules

The core vertical preserves this direction:

Additional modules follow the same principle: abstractions and domain models do not depend on transport, EF Core, concrete providers, Microsoft Agent Framework, or hosts.

  • Management canonical types live in Management.Abstractions; validation/use cases live in Management.Core; EF Core lives in Management.Storage.Sqlite.
  • Flow domain and application projects remain provider-neutral; EF Core lives in Flow.Storage.Sqlite.
  • Work owns functional state and calls the runtime through IWorkExecutionGateway; Work SQLite does not share Management or Runtime storage.
  • Concrete Microsoft Agent Framework types live only in Runtime.AgentFramework.
  • Endpoints, UI components, MCP tools, workers, and Program.cs delegate business behavior to application services.

Architecture tests enforce important project-reference boundaries.
