A rule that permits a cycle is a rule that documents the absence of a boundary, and it passed CI every day for two years because the tool was doing exactly what it was told. Merging them into one module was a two-line configuration change and an honest description of what the code already was — the alternative, untangling 176 edges, was costed at three weeks for no benefit anybody could name.
