> **Layer 1: Language Mechanics**
## Core Question
**Is this CPU-bound or I/O-bound, and what's the sharing model?**
Before choosing concurrency primitives:
- What's the workload type?
- What data needs to be shared?
- What's the thread safety requirement?

## Error → Design Question
| Error | Don't Just Say | Ask Instead |
|-------|----------------|-------------|
| E0277 Send | "Add Send bound" | Should this type cross threads? |
| E0277 Sync | "Wrap in Mutex" | Is shared access really needed? |
| Future not Send | "Use spawn_local" | Is async the right choice? |
| Deadlock | "Reorder locks" | Is the locking design correct? |

## Thinking Prompt
Before adding concurrency:
1. **What's the workload?**
- CPU-bound → threads (std::thread, rayon)
- I/O-bound → async (tokio, async-std)
- Mixed → hybrid approach
2. **What's the sharing model?**
- No sharing → message passing (channels)
- Immutable sharing → Arc<T>
- Mutable sharing → Arc<Mutex<T>> or Arc<RwLock<T>>
3. **What are the Send/Sync requirements?**
- Cross-thread ownership → Send
- Cross-thread references → Sync
- Single-thread async → spawn_local

## Trace Up ↑ (MANDATORY)
**CRITICAL**: Don't just fix the error. Trace UP to find domain constraints.
### Domain Detection Table
| Context Keywords | Load Domain Skill | Key Constraint |
|-----------------|-------------------|----------------|
| Web API, HTTP, axum, actix, handler | **domain-web** | Handlers run on any thread |
| 交易, 支付, trading, payment | **domain-fintech** | Audit + thread safety |
| gRPC, kubernetes, microservice | **domain-cloud-native** | Distributed tracing |
| CLI, terminal, clap | **domain-cli** | Usually single-thread OK |
### Example: Web API + Rc Error
```
"Rc cannot be sent between threads" in Web API context
↑ DETECT: "Web API" → Load domain-web
↑ FIND: domain-web says "Shared state must be thread-safe"
↑ FIND: domain-web says "Rc in state" is Common Mistak
