Good question - quite a few actually. @ConditionalOnMissingBean on every public @Bean method, proxyBeanMethods = false on every @Configuration class, the thin wrapper pattern (auto-config classes must have empty bodies) - those are all structurally checkable. CAS doesn't use ArchUnit specifically, but the consistency you see in the codebase didn't happen by accident. The patterns that can't be easily enforced statically are the harder ones - like making sure every module contributes to shared capabilities through the configurer pattern instead of direct coupling. That's where code review discipline fills the gap.
