# Review by Principal Systems Engineer (Google/Stripe caliber) (Round 3)

## Review Complete

Here's my assessment as **Principal Systems Engineer (Google/Stripe caliber)**:

---

VERDICT: **approve**

### Key Findings (9 items, 0 blocking)

1. **🔴 Silent consumer loop exit** (`tui/app.py`) — If any widget method throws during message dispatch, the queue consumer dies silently and the TUI freezes with no indication. This is the #1 operational risk — hard to debug at 3am.

2. **🟡 Timer lifecycle gaps** (`tui/widgets/status_bar.py`) — Spinner/idle timers not cleaned up on unmount; rapid phase transitions can overlap timers.

3. **🟡 Unbounded janus queue** — No backpressure between orchestrator producer and TUI consumer. Unlikely to matter at current scale, but no graceful degradation.

4. **🟡 `run_sweep()` discards execution result** (`orchestrator.py`) — In `--execute` mode, the `run()` return is thrown away. A sweep that analyzes successfully but fails during implementation reports success.

5. **🟡 Slack triage model default changed to Opus** (`slack.py`) — The PRD explicitly says "Keep Haiku for routing" but `_triage_message_legacy` now defaults to `opus`. This is a 30-60x cost increase per Slack triage.

6. **🟢 Thread-safety assumptions undocumented** — Adapter methods mutate state without locks, relying on single-threaded orchestrator invariant.

7. **🟢 `_capture_click_output()` may miss Rich output** — StringIO redirect won't catch `Console()` objects targeting real stdout.

8. **🟢 Heuristic router false positives** — `\badd\b` pattern can mis-route phrases like "add me as reviewer."

9. **🟢 Fragile `nonlocal current_adapter` closure** — Works under CPython GIL but maintenance hazard.

### What's Good
- **All 772 tests pass**, no TODOs, no placeholder code
- Sound architecture: janus queue bridge, PhaseUI adapter, sweep reusing existing pipeline
- Improved security: better ANSI sanitization, `\r` overwrite protection, secret-file detection
- Three PRDs fully implemented with 9,200 lines across 72 files

### Recommendation
**Ship it.** Address the consumer loop resilience (`try-except` + logging in `_consume_queue()`) and timer cleanup in a fast follow-up.
