<objective>
Review source files changed during a phase for bugs, security vulnerabilities, and code quality problems.
Spawns the gsd-code-reviewer agent to analyze code at the specified depth level. Produces REVIEW.md artifact in the phase directory with severity-classified findings.
Arguments:
- Phase number (required) — which phase's changes to review (e.g., "2" or "02")
- `--depth=quick|standard|deep` (optional) — review depth level, overrides workflow.code_review_depth config
- quick: Pattern-matching only (~2 min)
- standard: Per-file analysis with language-specific checks (~5-15 min, default)
- deep: Cross-file analysis including import graphs and call chains (~15-30 min)
- `--files file1,file2,...` (optional) — explicit comma-separated file list, skips SUMMARY/git scoping (highest precedence for scoping)
- `--fix` (optional) — after review completes (or if REVIEW.md already exists), auto-apply fixes found. Spawns gsd-code-fixer agent. Accepts sub-flags:
- `--all` — include Info findings in fix scope (default: Critical + Warning only)
- `--auto` — enable fix + re-review iteration loop, capped at 3 iterations
- Optional reviewer-lane flags (#4209) — any flag returned by `gsd_run review-lane flags` (the canonical reviewer-lane roster; e.g. `--codex`, `--agy`) requests that lane independently review the same already-resolved scope alongside the internal `gsd-code-reviewer` agent. Its findings are corroborating evidence only — `gsd-code-reviewer` alone verifies each claim against the actual source and writes REVIEW.md; there is exactly one REVIEW.md schema. No reviewer-lane flag (the default) reviews with only the internal agent, byte-for-byte unchanged from before #4209.
Output: {padded_phase}-REVIEW.md in phase directory + inline summary of findings

<context>
Phase: the `<arguments>` block (first positional argument is phase number)
Optional flags parsed from the `<arguments>` block:
- `--depth=VALUE` — Depth override (quick|standard|deep). If provided, overrides workflow.code_review_depth config.
- `--files=file1,file2,...` — Explicit file list override. Has highest precedence for file scoping per D-08. When provided, workflow skips SUMMARY.md extraction and git diff fallback entirely.
Context files (CLAUDE.md, SUMMARY.md, phase state) are resolved inside the workflow via `gsd-tools query init.phase-op` and delegated to agent via `<required_reading>` blocks.
</context>
<process>
This command is a thin dispatch layer. It parses arguments and delegates to the workflow.
Execute end-to-end.
The workflow (not this command) enforces these gates:
- Phase validation (before config gate)
- Config gate check (workflow.code_review)
- File scoping (--files override > SUMMARY.md > git diff fallback)
- Empty scope check (skip if no files)
- Agent spawning (gsd-code-reviewer)
- Result presentation (inline summary + next steps)
