The GoF's coupling management achieves lifecycle-integrated governance: DIP governs coupling architecturally (ownership rules, implementation strategies, boundary structure) while the wrapping taxonomy provides pattern-level mechanisms (Proxy→Decorator→Strategy with LSP guarantees), and the complete judgment framework ensures these coupling decisions are appropriately made and revised throughout the design lifecycle — spanning from initial architectural coupling decisions through ongoing pattern-level coupling adaptation.
Coupling governance at two abstraction levels integrated with lifecycle judgment for end-to-end coupling management
