How do you prevent architectural entropy in long-lived AngularJS codebases?

Architectural entropy is prevented through strict module boundaries, code reviews, and enforced design patterns.

Over time, AngularJS applications tend to degrade into tightly coupled systems due to inconsistent practices. Preventing this requires enforcing architecture rules: no direct scope manipulation across modules, strict service abstraction layers, and banning circular dependencies. Automated linting and architecture tests help maintain structure. Regular refactoring cycles are essential to control entropy.
