# Dynamic Dispatch

Record: `arch:dynamic-dispatch`
Kind: mechanism
Layer: [Extensibility Core](https://banes-lab.com/records/layer/extensibility-core.md)
Severity: recommended
Scope: method, interface, runtime
Canonical: https://banes-lab.com/ontology#arch-dynamic-dispatch

## Repair

- Refactored by: Introduce Polymorphic Method, Strategy
- Detected by: switch/if chains on type
- Violated by: manual dispatch over concrete type
- Measured by: conditional dispatch count
- Enforced by: lint rules, [review](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/review.md)
