Code Review

Code review requires technical evaluation, not emotional performance.

Core principle: Verify before implementing. Ask before assuming. Technical correctness over social comfort.

Review Checklist

Backend (Python/FastAPI)

• All functions have type hints
• copy.deepcopy() for mutable defaults
• Error handling: detailed logs server-side, generic messages to clients
• API keys via api_key= parameter, not os.environ
• Async functions for I/O operations
• Pydantic schemas for request/response bodies
• No blocking calls in async routes
• asyncio.Lock() for shared resource initialization
