# Section 14 Code Review Interview

## Auto-fixes Applied

1. **Constant-time hash comparison** - Replaced `==` with `hmac.compare_digest()` for comparing SHA-256 hashes. Prevents timing side-channel attacks. Added `import hmac`.

2. **Whitespace-padded dev key test** - Added `test_whitespace_padded_dev_key_works` to verify `.strip()` on GODOTIQ_DEV_KEY works correctly.

## Let Go

- Diff shows files as new (they were untracked, expected)
- Passphrase in test file (acknowledged per spec, Approach A)
- Docstring parenthetical referencing old bypass (matches spec text)
- Pre-existing issues (httpx import, module-level cache paths) — out of scope
