## Review Checklist
Analyze every changed file against the following categories. For each finding, provide:
- **File path and line number**
- **Severity**: Critical / High / Medium / Low
- **Description** of the issue
- **Suggested fix** with code snippet
### 1. Correctness
- Logic errors or off-by-one mistakes
- Missing null/undefined/nil checks
- Incomplete error handling
- Race conditions or concurrency issues
- Incorrect use of APIs or library functions
### 2. Security
- Input validation gaps (SQL injection, XSS, command injection, path traversal)
- Hardcoded secrets, tokens, or credentials
- Authentication/authorization bypass risks
- Insecure data handling (PII exposure, logging sensitive data)
- Missing CSRF/CORS protections where applicable
### 3. Performance
- N+1 query patterns
- Unnecessary loops or redundant computations
- Missing pagination for unbounded queries
- Blocking operations in async contexts
- Large memory allocations in hot paths
- Missing indexes for new database queries
### 4. Test Coverage
- Are new code paths covered by tests?
- Are edge cases and error paths tested?
- Are mocks appropriate and not over-mocking?
- Do test names clearly describe the scenario?
### 5. Code Quality
- Readability and naming clarity
- Unnecessary complexity that can be simplified
- Code duplication that should be extracted
- Dead code or unused imports
- Missing or misleading comments
### 6. Conventions
- Adherence to project coding standards (check CLAUDE.md)
- Consistent formatting and style
- Proper commit message format
- Documentation for public APIs

## Output Format
### Findings
Group findings by severity:
#### Critical (must fix before merge)
<!-- Blocking issues -->
#### High (strongly recommend fixing)
<!-- Significant issues -->
#### Medium (should fix)
<!-- Moderate issues -->
#### Low (nice to have)
<!-- Minor suggestions -->
### Summary
Provide a 2-3 sentence executive summary of the PR quality.
### Verdict
State one of:
- **GO** — Ready to merge (no critical/high issues)
- **CONDITIONAL GO** — Merge after addressing critical/high findings
- **NO-GO** — Significant issues require rework before re-review
