Architecture & Codebase — including AI provenance
strongbin/maintenancesolution/MaintenanceSolution.sql is 10,497 lines, 82× this codebase's median file
adequateThe median source file here is 128 lines. 10 files exceed 1,280 lines, the largest being 10,497. Size is not a defect on its own — some problems genuinely live in one place — but these are where merge conflicts, review fatigue and single-owner knowledge concentrate, and they are the first thing that slows an inheriting engineer down.
