Comprehensive static code analysis toolkit for identifying technical debt, security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and code quality problems

/**
 * @file Frontend-backend integration pattern definitions for API mismatch detection
 * @description Single responsibility: Define integration patterns with effort estimation and impact assessment
 * 
 * This configuration module defines comprehensive patterns for detecting frontend-backend
 * integration issues including API mismatches, missing endpoints, data format inconsistencies,
 * and security gaps. Each pattern includes effort estimation and impact quantification to
 * enable prioritized integration issue resolution and system reliability improvement.
 * 
 * Design rationale:
 * - Pattern-based detection enables automated integration issue identification
 * - Effort estimation helps development teams prioritize integration fixes effectively
 * - Impact descriptions provide clear business justification for integration improvements
 * - Severity classification enables automated alerting for critical integration failures
 * - Category grouping helps identify systematic integration architecture issues
 */

// Integration Pattern Constants

/**
 * Comprehensive frontend-backend integration patterns with prioritization metadata
 * 
 * Pattern structure rationale:
 * - effort: Implementation hours (1=quick fix, 2=moderate, 3=complex integration work)
 * - impact: Business/technical justification for fixing integration issues
 * - severity: Risk level (HIGH=user-facing failures, MEDIUM=reliability issues, LOW=maintenance)
 * - category: Integration domain grouping for specialized team assignment
 * 
 * Integration pattern categories:
 * - Dead Code: Unused endpoints and orphaned API implementations
 * - Missing Implementation: Frontend calls without corresponding backend endpoints
 * - API Mismatch: HTTP method, parameter, or response format inconsistencies
 * - Data Format: Structure and serialization compatibility issues
 * - CORS: Cross-origin request configuration and security policy issues
 * - Security: Authentication, authorization, and access control gaps
 * - Versioning: API version compatibility and migration issues
 * - Error Handling: Response error processing and resilience patterns
 * - Data Structure: Request/response format alignment and validation
 * - Documentation: API specification and integration guidance gaps
 * 
 * Effort estimation methodology:
 * - Based on typical integration debugging and implementation time
 * - Includes time for testing cross-system communication
 * - Accounts for potential deployment coordination requirements
 * - Considers impact on both frontend and backend codebases
