The workflow

When to use

Find actionable defects in a change without flooding the author with style opinions.

Workflow

  1. Read the change and its surrounding call sites.
  2. Trace concrete failing inputs, permission checks, cleanup, retries, and concurrency.
  3. Report only supported findings with file locations, user impact, and a minimal correction.
  4. If no defect is found, state what was checked and what remains unverified.

Boundaries

Use only tools and data authorized for the task. Ask for missing requirements when they affect the result. Report what you verified and what you could not verify.
