Helpdesk Layer Dependencies

Audience

Developers, architects and QA engineers.

Summary

The Domain folder is the least infrastructure-dependent local area. API handlers depend directly on Application, Domain and Infrastructure. Infrastructure depends on Domain/Application plus shared messaging and EF Core.

Reference Content

There is no separate dependency-inversion boundary for persistence queries: endpoint handlers receive the concrete DbContext. Document access is abstracted behind an interface; persistence is not.

Requires confirmation

Whether a future application/repository abstraction is desired and which folder dependencies are architectural policy require confirmation.
