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 30 source declaration(s).

Reference code

TipKitExamples/TipKitExamples.swift:11 — architecture anchor

@main
struct TipKitExamples: App {
    // ...
        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 TipKit.

Ownership and state

classDiagram
    Item *-- String : name
    Item *-- Bool : isFavorite
    Item o-- Event : viewedSpecificFood
    Item o-- Tips : viewedDetailView

Ownership evidence

TipKitExamples/Examples/Event rules/FoodDetailView.swift:13 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor

    struct Item: Codable, Sendable {
        var name: String
        var isFavorite: Bool
    }

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.

Concurrency, scheduling, and thread safety

Evidence limit: actor isolation, async/await, or Task creation does not by itself prove background-thread execution; Sendable conformance alone does not prove thread-safe mutation.

@MainActor/MainActor.run, DispatchQueue.main, and RunLoop.main are reported as distinct isolation, queue, and event-loop mechanisms. A plain Task is kept separate from Task.detached; neither is labeled as a background thread.

Reference code

TipKitExamples/Examples/Event rules/FoodDetailView.swift:12 — representative execution boundary

    struct Item: Codable, Sendable {
        var name: String
        var isFavorite: Bool
    }

State propagation, frameworks, and dependencies

Evidence limit: an import proves a source-level compilation dependency at the cited line; it does not prove runtime use, architectural adoption, or whether a Swift package is a direct application dependency.

receive(on:) describes downstream delivery scheduling, while subscribe(on:) describes upstream subscription/request/cancel scheduling. An import Combine alone establishes neither behavior nor a Store, reducer, Redux, or other application architecture.

Class and protocol design

TipKitExamples/Examples/Event rules/FoodDetailView.swift:58 — representative type boundary

struct FoodDetailView: View {
    // ...
    let tip = FoodEventTip()
    // ...
}

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

Access control

Reference code

TipKitExamples/Examples/Tip actions/LearnMoreView.swift:34 — representative boundary

struct LearnMoreView: View {
    // ...
    @State private var showLearnMoreSheet = false
    // ...
}

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: View: ActionsView, ComboView, ContentView, EventRuleView, EventView.
• Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
• Methods: setupTips, setPlants.
• Files: TipKitExamples/TipKitExamples.swift, TipKitExamples/Examples/Event rules/FoodDetailView.swift, TipKitExamples/Examples/Parameter rules/FavoritePlantsView.swift, TipKitExamples/Examples/Tip actions/LearnMoreView.swift, TipKitExamples/Examples/Combo rules/ComboView.swift, TipKitExamples/Examples/Event rules/EventRuleView.swift.

Architecture takeaways

• TipKitExamples is the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.
• Framework work reaches SwiftUI, TipKit 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.
