Go Code Review

Review Workflow

Follow this sequence to avoid false positives and catch version-specific issues:

1. Check go.mod — Note the Go version. This determines which patterns apply (loop variable capture is only an issue pre-1.22, slog is available from 1.21, errors.Join from 1.20). Skip version-gated checks that don't apply.
2. Scan changed files — Read full functions, not just diffs. Many Go bugs hide in what surrounds the change.
3. Check each category — Work through the checklist below, loading references as needed.
4. Verify before reporting — Load beagle-go:review-verification-protocol before submitting findings.
