## From README

ABP Dependency Rules Core Principles (All Templates) These principles apply regardless of solution structure: Domain logic never depends on infrastructure (no DbContext in domain/application) Use abstractions (interfaces) for dependencies Higher layers depend on lower layers, never the reverse Data access through repositories, not direct DbContext Layered Template Structure Note: This section applies to layered templates (app, module). Single-layer and microservice templates have different structures.
