Soldering isn't a Code violation.

Soldering stranded cable CAN be.

Cite, please.
In aircraft use soldered connections are verbotten because solder
wicks back the cable and the cable becomes brittle - causing vibration
to break the wire. Same in industrial control panels.

Unless those applications are covered by the Code, then it's not a Code
violation.

Not sure of NEC
application in residential wiring - but bad practice, regardless.

Bad practice in some applications, perhaps. But a Code violation? Not that I'm
aware of.
