Designing component registration that stays readable

Component systems can become confusing when they hide too much. The useful version is boring in the right places: register what exists, wire what is needed, and keep construction understandable.

Explicit registration

Registration should make application capabilities easy to scan. Controllers, services, configuration objects, and infrastructure components should be visible without requiring a search through startup code.

Predictable resolution

Resolution should be predictable enough that a developer can understand why a component exists and how it was built. That means clear constructors, clear conditions, and clear lifecycle behavior.

Avoiding framework noise

The component model should remove repeated wiring code, not replace application logic with a new language. When the framework is quiet, the code still feels like Go.

Growing the graph

As an application grows, dependencies naturally become a graph. The goal is not to make that graph magical. The goal is to keep it organized, debuggable, and close to the packages that own the behavior.
