Hi,
I've been experimenting with using Git history to understand architectural evolution in mature repositories.
One relationship in Helix surprised me enough that I'd like to sanity-check it with people who know the codebase.
Even after removing large formatting commits, dependency updates, and repository-wide refactors, two editing-related components continued to evolve together far more often than I expected.
Before assuming this represents a genuine architectural dependency, I wanted to ask:
Does commit history actually reflect an intentional relationship here?
Or would someone familiar with Helix consider this a misleading conclusion drawn from historical development?
I'm much more interested in understanding where this type of analysis fails than proving it's correct.
Thanks!
