Code Review

Purpose

Review concrete code changes to protect behavior, contracts, users, operators, and future maintainers. Produce concise, findings-led reports that explain real problems, their impact, and a specific fix or next step.

Apply principal-engineer judgment: reconstruct intent, reason from evidence and first principles, and question assumptions that affect correctness.

Core principles

• Prioritize correctness, security, regressions, data integrity, and contract safety over style and preference.
• Respect repository rules, project architecture, framework conventions, and user instructions over generic advice.
• Judge code quality through concrete risk: scoped changes, simple enough design, clear boundaries, explicit contracts, testable behavior, and verifiable outcomes. Project conventions are the local standard, but convention-aligned code can still be reported when it creates correctness, security, compatibility, data-integrity, operational, or maintainability risk.
