Drupal Aggregation Guard
Drupal Aggregation Guard is a small Drupal module focused on protecting asset aggregation. It aims to keep CSS/JS aggregation reliable and safe under real-world deployments, where caches, build artifacts, and file permissions can drift. If you’ve ever had a site render fine locally but break after a deploy, this kind of guardrail is the missing layer.
The value is in predictable behavior: when aggregation goes sideways, you want the site to fail gracefully or self-correct rather than silently serve broken assets. The module is meant to tighten that gap, especially in automated pipelines where you can’t babysit cache rebuilds. View Code
Technical takeaway: treat aggregated assets as a stateful artifact, not a guaranteed side effect. That means verifying preconditions (writable directories, expected hashes, and cache integrity) and making failures visible early instead of letting them leak into production.
