# Review: tasks — slice 141

**Verdict:** PASS
**Model:** minimax/minimax-m2.7

## Findings

### [PASS] All success criteria have corresponding tasks

Cross-reference confirms full coverage:
- SC1 (models.toml + BUILT_IN_ALIASES removal) → T3, T4, T10.4
- SC2 (builtin/ deletion) → T9, T10.5
- SC3 (sq model list works) → T4.6, T10.1
- SC4 (all four review types load) → T6, T7, T10.2
- SC5 (data_dir() in wheel and editable) → T1, T8
- SC6 (pipelines/ placeholder) → T1.4
- SC7 (test suite passes) → T5, T7, T9.2, T10

### [PASS] No scope creep detected

Every task maps to an in-scope item from the slice design. No tasks address pipeline YAML (slice 148), new config keys, or user override path changes.

### [PASS] Sequencing is correct and dependency-free

The workflow is properly ordered: T1 (skeleton) → T2/T3 (populate data) → T4/T6 (update loaders) → T5/T7 (test new loaders) → T8 (wheel config) → T9 (cleanup) → T10 (verify) → T11 (commit). No circular dependencies.

### [PASS] Test-with pattern properly applied

- T5 (test aliases) immediately follows T4 (implement alias loading) ✓
- T7 (test templates) immediately follows T6 (implement template loading) ✓

### [PASS] Tasks are independently completable and appropriately sized

Each task has clear sub-items with specific files, exact commands, and unambiguous success criteria. No task is oversized or over-granular for a junior AI implementer.

### [PASS] Commit checkpoint is appropriately placed

Single commit at T11.1 is appropriate for this slice size. Pre-commit formatting check (T10.6) is included before staging.
