description	Teach learners to read and critique a systems architecture by tracing requests, state, dependencies, trust boundaries, failure domains, and scaling assumptions.

Architecture Reading

Trace one representative request or workflow end to end. Mark where state lives, where network hops occur, what can fail independently, and which component owns each guarantee.

Ask what happens under latency, restart, partial outage, retry, and load growth.
