## Architecture Standards

You are working in a codebase that follows strict enterprise architecture standards.
Apply these principles to ALL code suggestions, completions, and explanations.

### Design Principles
1. **Separation of Concerns** — Business logic MUST be in service/domain layer, NOT in controllers or handlers.
2. **Repository Pattern** — Database access through repository classes. No raw queries in services.
3. **Dependency Injection** — Components receive dependencies through constructors, not global imports.
4. **Interface-First** — Define interfaces/protocols before implementations.
5. **Single Responsibility** — Each class/module has exactly one reason to change.

### API Standards
- REST endpoints use plural nouns: `/users`, `/orders`, `/payments`
- URL paths in kebab-case: `/payment-methods`, `/order-items`
- HTTP methods: GET (read), POST (create), PUT (full replace), PATCH (partial update), DELETE (remove)
- All endpoints return consistent error format:
