That’s not architecture. The tasks you describe are those of a development lead or dev manager.

An architect might also be a dev team lead, in which case they might have such responsibilities, but the point remains that such detail oriented aspects of the development process are what the dev team lead does.

The job of a building architect isn’t to ensure the builders know how to use their tools and keep them neat, and to ensure they measure straight lines.

The role of the architect is to design the system at a high level to meet a myriad of business and other requirements such as performance security reliability interoperability extensibility etc etc

The architect is politician, diplomat, technical strategic planner, salesperson.
