+/**
+ * @brief Detects the platform architecture based on the environment or hardware.
+ *
+ * This function determines the platform architecture by inspecting the environment
+ * variables or available physical devices. If the environment variable
+ * `TT_METAL_SIMULATOR_EN` is set, the architecture is retrieved from the
+ * `ARCH_NAME` environment variable. Otherwise, the architecture is deduced
+ * by detecting available physical devices.
+ *
+ * @return tt::ARCH The detected platform architecture. Returns tt::ARCH::Invalid
+ *                  if no valid architecture could be detected.
+ *
+ * @note
+ * - If the system is in simulation mode (`TT_METAL_SIMULATOR_EN` is set),
+ *   the `ARCH_NAME` environment variable must be defined.
+ * - A fatal error occurs if multiple devices are detected with conflicting
+ *   architectures.
+ *
+ * @exception std::runtime_error Throws a fatal error if:
+ * - `ARCH_NAME` is not set when `TT_METAL_SIMULATOR_EN` is enabled.
+ * - Multiple devices with inconsistent architectures are detected.
+ *
+ * Example usage:
+ * @code
+ * #include "tt_metal/common/tt_backend_api_types.hpp"
+ *
+ * tt::ARCH arch = tt::tt_metal::get_platform_architecture();
+ * if (arch == tt::ARCH::Invalid) {
+ *     std::cerr << "Failed to detect architecture!" << std::endl;
+ * } else {
+ *     std::cout << "Detected architecture: " << tt::get_arch_str(arch) << std::endl;
+ * }
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @see tt::get_arch_from_string
+ * @see tt::umd::Cluster::detect_available_device_ids
+ * @see detect_arch
