# Review Code

## Workflow

1. Establish the review target and comparison base.
2. Inspect the diff, then trace changed behavior through callers, contracts,
   persistence, side effects, and tests.
3. Inspect the target, isolation, fixtures, and side effects before running a
   narrow check that materially confirms a suspected issue.
4. Rank findings by impact and confidence; remove duplicates and speculation.
5. Return findings first, followed by open questions and a short summary.

Use correctness as the default lens. For large, risky, or requirement-heavy
changes, add the standards and specification lenses in
