- Declarative schema (
db_schema.xml) - ViewModel pattern — no Block proxy layer
- Service classes:
AuthorisationService,NotificationService,CounterUpdater,UrlKeyGenerator,VisitorTracker - GraphQL resolvers with
@resolverprocessors for relation fields - CSRF on all POST, XSS prevention in all templates
