Record: `arch:bounded-nesting-depth`
Kind: constraint
Layer: [Structural Core](https://banes-lab.com/records/layer/structural-core.md)
Severity: mandatory
Scope: folder, root
Canonical: https://banes-lab.com/ontology#arch-bounded-nesting-depth

## Repair

- Refactored by: Take the Variant Slot, Add a Sibling Subject Folder
- Detected by: a path over the cap, or a role repeated or revisited along it
- Violated by: adding a level to relieve collision or breadth pressure
- Measured by: over-cap path count
- Enforced by: placement gate
