Dependency cycles

Alternative name for Cyclic dependencies.

Dependency cycle is another name for a structural dependency loop. AtlasArc keeps that loop inspectable as code evidence. It becomes an architectural warning to investigate when it remains in the current problem graph; precise governance or local suppression can remove the warning without rewriting the dependency evidence. The full Cyclic dependencies explainer covers cycle status, group count, and largest-group size.

Governance changes the warning graph, not the dependency evidence in the codebase.
