# Dependency Graph

> Descriptive data about which modules, tasks or services depend on which, extracted as a directed graph.

Record: `architecture:dependency-graph`
Kind: artifact
Layer: [Causality Core](https://banes-lab.com/records/layer/causality-core.md)
Severity: mandatory
Scope: codebase, runtime, deployment
Canonical: https://banes-lab.com/ontology#architecture-dependency-graph

Listed in [Architecture principles](https://banes-lab.com/api/records/architecture.md), after [Causal Dependency](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/causal-dependency.md) and before [Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)](https://banes-lab.com/records/architecture/directed-acyclic-graph.md).

## Repair

- Refactored by: Break Cycle, Invert Dependency
- Detected by: graph extraction mismatch
- Violated by: undeclared dependencies
- Measured by: cycle count, graph density
- Enforced by: dependency graph CI checks
