8 architectural bugs we found auditing 29 microservices (with code)

Short summary

Technical audit of 29-microservice platform identified eight architectural bugs caused by config drift, missing validation, and insecure defaults. Fixes include explicit .dockerignore, MapStruct strictness, split config templates, canonical environment prefixes, schema ownership, and resilience patterns with timeouts and circuit breakers.

• •Docker .gitignore precedence + missing .dockerignore masked empty model directories in production builds
• •MapStruct + Kotlin getter naming silently defaulted properties; fixed via explicit mapping and compiler warnings
• •Configuration sprawl across three prefixes (AGENT_, EDGE_VESSEL_, EDGE_AGENT_*) required canonical standard + backward-compat testing
