New backend API routes must use Django Ninja, not DRF. Rationale: - Standardizing new endpoint implementation on Django Ninja improves consistency, typing, and docs generation. Scope: - PR review policy for new backend API routes under `domains/python/backend/app/src/api/**`. Trigger: - A PR introduces a new route (new path+method exposure), whether in a new or existing file. Approval checks: 1) New route uses Django Ninja registration/patterns (`NinjaAPI`/`Router` route decorators or equivalent Ninja router registration). 2) New route does not introduce DRF endpoint patterns (`APIView`, `ViewSet`, DRF router/url registration, DRF function-based route patterns). Evidence: - Diff of route registration and imports shows Ninja usage for new route exposures. Decision: - Return NOT APPROVED when trigger is met and new route exposure uses DRF patterns. - Edits to existing legacy DRF endpoints are allowed when they do not introduce new route exposures.
