🧠 Architecture Philosophy

1. Feature-Based Design

Instead of grouping by file type, we group by business domain:

features/
   └── chat/
   └── auth/
   └── dashboard/

This improves:

• Maintainability
• Team scalability
• Code ownership

---

2. Separation of Concerns

Each feature contains:

• components/ → UI
• hooks/ → logic abstraction
• services/ → API/business logic
• slice/ → state management

---

3. Global vs Feature Scope

Scope	Location	Purpose
Global	/components	Shared UI
Feature	/features/*	Domain-specific logic
Core	/services	API clients
Utility	/utils	Reusable helpers

---
