# Causal Dependency

Record: `arch:causal-dependency`
Kind: model
Layer: [Causality Core](https://banes-lab.com/records/layer/causality-core.md)
Severity: recommended
Scope: event, workflow, module
Canonical: https://banes-lab.com/ontology#arch-causal-dependency

## Repair

- Refactored by: Declare Dependency, Add Causation Link
- Detected by: undocumented call/event dependency
- Violated by: implicit dependency not represented in workflow/event metadata
- Measured by: hidden dependency count
- Enforced by: dependency graph checks
