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 4 project/configuration file(s) and 11 source declaration(s).

}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 Sound Analysis.

Ownership evidence
ClassifySound/ClassifySoundApp.swift:15 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor
struct AppConfiguration {
// ...
var inferenceWindowSize = Double(1.5)
// ...
}| Owner | Object or state | Relationship | Mutation authority |
|---|---|---|---|
AppConfiguration |
Double (inferenceWindowSize) |
owns value state | App/module collaborators |
AppConfiguration |
Double (overlapFactor) |
owns value state | App/module collaborators |
AppConfiguration |
Monitoredsounds (monitoredSounds) |
stores or receives | App/module collaborators |
AppState |
AnyCancellable (detectionCancellable) |
stores or receives | Owning lexical scope |
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
ClassifySound/ClassifySoundApp.swift:131 — representative type boundary
struct ClassifySoundApp: App {
var body: some Scene {
WindowGroup {
ContentView()
}
}
}| Type | Responsibility | Depends on or conforms to |
|---|---|---|
ClassifySoundApp |
Application entry and top-level composition | App |
ContentView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
DetectSoundsView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
SetupMonitoredSoundsView |
User-interface presentation and input forwarding | View |
AppConfiguration |
Carries feature or framework configuration | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
AppState |
Represents mutable feature state | ObservableObject |
SystemAudioClassifier |
Owns feature behavior and collaborator lifecycle | NSObject |
SystemAudioClassificationError |
Represents feature failure conditions | Error |
ClassificationResultsSubject |
Owns feature behavior and collaborator lifecycle | NSObject, SNResultsObserving |
DetectionState |
Represents mutable feature state | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.
Access control
| Symbol | Access | Verified effect | Likely rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
detectionCancellable (ClassifySound/ClassifySoundApp.swift:52) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
appConfig (ClassifySound/ClassifySoundApp.swift:55) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
subject (ClassifySound/Support/ClassificationResultsSubject.swift:19) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
analysisQueue (ClassifySound/SystemAudioClassifier.swift:35) |
private |
Use is restricted to the lexical declaration and same-file extensions allowed by Swift. | Inference: keep state mutation or dependency lifetime inside the owning implementation. |
Reference code
ClassifySound/ClassifySoundApp.swift:52 — representative boundary
class AppState: ObservableObject {
// ...
private var detectionCancellable: AnyCancellable? = nil
// ...
}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
| Logic | Owning type or file | Placement rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Application entry and top-level composition | ClassifySoundApp |
The source’s App suffix makes this role explicit. |
| User-interface presentation and input forwarding | ContentView, DetectSoundsView, SetupMonitoredSoundsView |
The source’s View suffix makes this role explicit. |
Design patterns
| Pattern | Source evidence | Purpose or tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Binding-based state propagation | ClassifySound/Support/DetectSoundsView.swift:18 |
A binding exposes controlled read/write access while the upstream owner remains authoritative. |
| Publisher-backed observable state | ClassifySound/ClassifySoundApp.swift:60 |
Published properties notify observers while mutation remains with the state object. |
Naming conventions
- Types: App: ClassifySoundApp; View: ContentView, DetectSoundsView, SetupMonitoredSoundsView.
- Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
- Methods:
listAllValidSoundIdentifiers,restartDetection,advanceDetectionStates,generateConfidenceMeterBarColors,cardify,generateMeter,generateLabeledMeter,generateMeterCard. - Files:
ClassifySound/ClassifySoundApp.swift,ClassifySound/Support/ContentView.swift,ClassifySound/Support/DetectSoundsView.swift,ClassifySound/Support/SetupMonitoredSoundsView.swift,ClassifySound/SystemAudioClassifier.swift,ClassifySound/Support/ClassificationResultsSubject.swift.
Architecture takeaways
ClassifySoundAppis the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.- Framework work reaches SwiftUI, SoundAnalysis, AVFoundation 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.
