## Repair

- Refactored by: collapse_layers, inline_interface, remove_unused_indirection, preserve_only_real_boundaries
- Detected by: deep_call_stack_for_simple_task, one_method_interfaces, factory_of_factory, abstraction_ratio_too_high
- Violated by: Add too many interfaces, layers, factories, [adapters](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/adapters.md), or generic types relative to actual variability.
