Code Review

Diagrams in code review

Architecture changes deserve the same review rigor as code. Diagram diffs in PRs — inline comments, approval gates, and a full audit trail for every structural change.

Why diagrams belong in code review

Review architecture changes with the same process you use for code.

Architecture diffs in PRs

See exactly what changed — new services, removed dependencies, renamed components — as a clean text diff.

Inline comments on diagrams

Comment on specific diagram lines: "Why does auth call the billing DB directly?" Same workflow as code review.

Approval gates

Require sign-off from architects before structural changes merge. Use CODEOWNERS for diagram files.

AI-generated diagram code

Describe the architecture in English. Cybewave generates Mermaid or PlantUML code ready for review.

CI diagram validation

Run syntax checks on diagram code in CI. Catch broken diagrams before they reach reviewers.

Full audit trail

Every architecture change is linked to a PR, commit, and discussion. Six months later, the context is still there.
