Canvas LMS Monorepo - Architectural Analysis Report

Generated: 2025-11-13 Repository: instructure/canvas-lms Analysis Scope: Frontend architecture, tooling, and development patterns

What is the overall directory structure? Where are packages/apps located?
How are packages named and categorized?
Are there any structural patterns that separate apps from libraries?
How are package boundaries enforced? (e.g., barrel exports, internal vs public APIs)

No.
