Structure observations

• Architecturally prominent files are ranked from entry points and role-named declarations; resource-only paths are omitted.
• Primary languages: Swift.
• The verified tree contains 3 project/configuration file(s) and 7 source declaration(s).

Reference code

DirectoryEncryptionDecryption/DirectoryEncryptionDecryptionApp.swift:10 — architecture anchor

@main
struct DirectoryEncryptionDecryptionApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
    }
}

Interpretation

The arrows summarize the source-visible entry, role-named types or folders, and framework direction; when nodes come from structural folders, the sequence is a high-level interpretation rather than proof that every adjacent node calls the next. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment. The diagram is intentionally limited to the dominant path into Apple Archive.

Ownership and state

classDiagram
    DirectoryDropDelegate o-- Binding : consoleMessages
    DirectoryDropDelegate o-- Binding : mode
    ContentView *-- String : base64EncodedKeyData
    ContentView *-- Array : consoleMessages

Ownership evidence

DirectoryEncryptionDecryption/ContentView.swift:42 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor

struct DirectoryDropDelegate: DropDelegate {
    // ...
    var consoleMessages: Binding<[ConsoleMessage]>
    // ...
}

Composition arrows indicate a source-visible construction expression or locally owned value state; aggregation means the owner stores or receives a dependency without proving exclusive lifetime ownership.

Class and protocol design

DirectoryEncryptionDecryption/DirectoryEncryptionDecryptionApp.swift:11 — representative type boundary

struct DirectoryEncryptionDecryptionApp: App {
    var body: some Scene {
        WindowGroup {
            ContentView()
        }
    }
}

No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.

Access control

Reference code

DirectoryEncryptionDecryption/ContentView.swift:103 — representative boundary

    @State private var base64EncodedKeyData: String = ""
    @State private var mode = Mode.idle
    @State private var consoleMessages: [ConsoleMessage] = [
        ConsoleMessage(status: .info,
                       message: "Apple Archive Demo App")]

Swift declarations without a modifier are internal; explicit private, fileprivate, private(set), public, or open entries above are interpreted by language semantics. Objective-C/C samples instead rely on header and implementation boundaries, which are not equivalent to Swift lexical privacy.

Logic ownership and placement

Design patterns

Naming conventions

• Types: App: DirectoryEncryptionDecryptionApp; Delegate: DirectoryDropDelegate; View: ContentView.
• Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
• Methods: performDrop, addConsoleMessage, submitBase64EncodedKeyData, copyToPasteboard, encrypt, decrypt.
• Files: DirectoryEncryptionDecryption/DirectoryEncryptionDecryptionApp.swift, DirectoryEncryptionDecryption/ContentView.swift, DirectoryEncryptionDecryption/ArchiverEncryptor.swift.

Architecture takeaways

• DirectoryEncryptionDecryptionApp is the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.
• Framework work reaches CryptoKit, SwiftUI, AppKit, AppleArchive through a deliberately small high-level chain; the detailed API graph remains inside the cited implementation files.
• Stored-property evidence identifies lifecycle collaboration; it does not by itself prove exclusive object ownership.
• Access-control conclusions separate verified language visibility from the likely design rationale.
• The source does not justify labeling the design protocol-oriented.
