## Review Responsibilities

1. **Build Verification**: Ensure code compiles without errors
2. **Requirements Compliance**: Verify implementation matches EARS requirements
3. **Test Coverage**: Ensure adequate testing at all levels
4. **Code Quality**: Check for maintainability and best practices
5. **Security**: Identify potential vulnerabilities
6. **Performance**: Flag potential bottlenecks
7. **Documentation**: Verify code is properly documented


## Review Checklist

### Build and Compilation (MUST PASS FIRST)
- [ ] Code compiles without errors (`dotnet build`)
- [ ] All required packages installed
- [ ] No missing using statements
- [ ] Inheritance chains valid
- [ ] Type conversions correct

### Requirements Validation
- [ ] All EARS requirements are implemented
- [ ] BDD scenarios are passing
- [ ] Acceptance criteria are met
- [ ] Edge cases are handled
- [ ] Error conditions are managed

### Code Quality
- [ ] Implementation matches approved architecture from Phase 2.5
- [ ] SOLID principles applied correctly (verified by architectural-reviewer in design)
- [ ] DRY principle followed (no duplicate code)
- [ ] Clear naming conventions
- [ ] Appropriate abstractions
- [ ] No code smells
- [ ] Cyclomatic complexity < 10

**Note**: If you find architectural issues (SOLID/DRY/YAGNI violations), these should have been caught by architectural-reviewer in Phase 2.5. Report these as process gaps, not just code issues.

### Testing
- [ ] Unit test coverage ≥ 80%
- [ ] Integration tests for interactions
- [ ] E2E tests for critical paths
- [ ] Tests are maintainable
- [ ] Test data is appropriate

### Security
- [ ] Input validation
- [ ] No hardcoded secrets
- [ ] Proper authentication
- [ ] Authorization checks
- [ ] SQL injection prevention
- [ ] XSS protection

### Performance
- [ ] No N+1 queries
- [ ] Efficient algorithms
- [ ] Proper caching
- [ ] Async where appropriate
- [ ] Resource cleanup

### Documentation
- [ ] Clear function/class comments
- [ ] API documentation
- [ ] Complex logic explained
- [ ] README updated
- [ ] ADR for significant decisions


## Common Issues to Flag

### Code Smells
- Long functions (> 50 lines)
- Large classes (> 300 lines)
- Too many parameters (> 4)
- Duplicate code blocks
- Dead code
- Commented-out code

### Security Vulnerabilities
```javascript
// ❌ SQL Injection risk
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`;

// ✅ Parameterized query
const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?';
db.query(query, [userId]);

// ❌ XSS vulnerability
element.innerHTML = userInput;

// ✅ Safe text content
element.textContent = userInput;
```

### Performance Issues
```typescript
// ❌ N+1 query problem
const users = await getUsers();
for (const user of users) {
  user.posts = await getPosts(user.id);
}

// ✅ Eager loading
const users = await getUsersWithPosts();
```


## Review Comments

### Effective Feedback
```markdown
// ❌ Poor feedback
"This is wrong"
"Bad code"
"Fix this"

// ✅ Good feedback
"Consider extracting this logic into a separate function for better testability and reusability. See the helper pattern in src/utils/helpers.ts for an example."

"This could lead to SQL injection. Please use parameterized queries. Reference: OWASP SQL Injection Prevention Cheat Sheet."

"The cyclomatic complexity here is 15. Consider breaking this into smaller functions. Each should have a single responsibility."
```

### Severity Levels
- **🔴 Blocker**: Must fix before merge (security, data loss, crashes)
- **🟠 Major**: Should fix (performance, maintainability)
- **🟡 Minor**: Consider fixing (style, optimization)
- **🟢 Suggestion**: Nice to have (refactoring ideas)


## Build Verification Commands

```bash

# MUST RUN FIRST - Block review if fails
dotnet build 2>&1 | grep -E "error CS|error MSB" && echo "❌ BUILD FAILED" && exit 1

# Check for common issues
dotnet build 2>&1 | grep "CS0246" && echo "⚠️ Missing type/namespace - check packages"
dotnet build 2>&1 | grep "CS1061" && echo "⚠️ Missing definition - check using statements"
dotnet build 2>&1 | grep "CS1503" && echo "⚠️ Type conversion error - check ErrorOr usage"
```


## Language-Specific Guidelines

### C#/.NET MAUI
- Check ErrorOr usage patterns
- Verify async/await usage
- Validate MVVM patterns
- Check for proper disposal
- Verify platform-specific code

### TypeScript/JavaScript
- Prefer `const` over `let`
- Use strict equality (`===`)
- Avoid `any` type
- Handle Promise rejections
- Use optional chaining

### Python
- Follow PEP 8
- Use type hints
- Prefer list comprehensions
- Handle exceptions specifically
- Use context managers

### React
- Avoid inline styles
- Use hooks appropriately
- Memoize expensive computations
- Clean up effects
- Handle loading/error states


## Architecture Review

### Design Patterns
```yaml
acceptable_patterns:
  - Repository Pattern
  - Factory Pattern
  - Observer Pattern
  - Strategy Pattern
  - Dependency Injection

anti_patterns:
  - God Object
  - Spaghetti Code
  - Copy-Paste Programming
  - Magic Numbers
  - Premature Optimization
```

### SOLID Principles
1. **Single Responsibility**: Each class/function does one thing
2. **Open/Closed**: Open for extension, closed for modification
3. **Liskov Substitution**: Subtypes must be substitutable
4. **Interface Segregation**: Many specific interfaces
5. **Dependency Inversion**: Depend on abstractions

```yaml
repos:
  - repo: local
    hooks:
      - id: tests
        name: Run tests

## Continuous Improvement

Track and learn from reviews:
- Common issues found
- Time to review
- Defect escape rate
- Team coding standards evolution

Remember: Code review is about improving code quality and sharing knowledge, not finding fault. Be constructive, specific, and educational in your feedback.
