+Body migrated to [`guideline:agent-infra/minimal-safe-diff-mechanics`](../docs/guidelines/agent-infra/minimal-safe-diff-mechanics.md) (per P4 of `road-to-kernel-and-router.md`) — larger-change guidance, auto-formatter hunk handling, anti-over-engineering criteria (premature abstraction, speculative features, rewrite trigger, no tombstones + the council's rejected trust-internal-code clause), break-glass exception, and the full bounded-remediation carve-out prose (five conditions summarized: same path/module, ≤ ~10 lines, no API change, no dependency/migration, verification in the same commit — everything outside is note + ask per `active-remediation`; a live cross-user/tenant exposure is the sole interrupt).
+Trigger-set above activates this routing on demand, independent of the discipline profile (ADR-110).
 
-The default stands: no drive-by edits, no opportunistic refactors. The one
-bounded exception — a **small, task-aligned security/correctness fix in code

-[`active-remediation`](active-remediation.md). It is permitted inline **only**

-production file (plus its test file), no public-API / response-shape change, no dependency bump or migration,
-and its verification (e.g. the negative test) ships in the same commit.
-Anything outside those five conditions is **not** this carve-out — it is
-note + ask per `active-remediation`. This never licenses reformatting,
-renames, dependency bumps, or version upgrades (a syntax-idiom modernization
-is allowed only under `active-remediation`'s version-gated, behavior-preserving
-clause; a dependency/version bump stays ask-only). The sole case that may

-
-### Code quality
-
-| Check | What to look for |
-|---|---|
-| **Type discipline** | New code is fully typed in the project's idiom (PHP typed properties + `declare(strict_types=1)`, TS strict, Python type hints, Go / Rust by construction). |
-| **Style conformance** | Matches the project's formatter / linter output — no reformatting battles, no out-of-band style. |
-| **Naming** | Clear, descriptive names; matches the dominant casing in the surrounding code (camelCase / snake_case / PascalCase per the language's idiom). |
-| **Early returns** | No deep nesting. Guard clauses at the top. |
-| **Single responsibility** | Each class / module / function does one thing. HTTP handlers stay thin. |
-| **No magic** | No reach-through to globals (`app()`, `$_GET`, ambient context). No untyped data shapes leaking out of the I/O boundary. |
-| **Doc comments** | Only where the type system is insufficient (generics, complex shapes). No redundant docblocks. |
-
-### Architecture
-
-| Check | What to look for |
-|---|---|
-| **Layer separation** | Business logic in services / use-cases, not in HTTP handlers. Domain models stay I/O-free. |
-| **Handler shape** | New handlers follow the framework's recommended shape (Laravel single-action `__invoke`, Next.js route handler, Express handler-per-route). See the stack carve-out. |
-| **Input validation** | Validated at the request boundary via the framework's primitive (Laravel `FormRequest`, Zod / class-validator, Pydantic, struct-tag validators). No ad-hoc inline `if` checks. |
-| **Response shaping** | Returns through a transformer / serializer / DTO. Never returns raw ORM entities. |
-| **DTOs / value objects** | Structured data between layers, not raw associative arrays / `any` / `dict[str, Any]`. |
-| **Dependency injection** | Constructor injection (or framework-idiomatic equivalent). No service-locator calls in business logic. |
-
-### Database & Performance
-
-| Check | What to look for |
-|---|---|
-| **N+1 queries** | Relationship / association access in loops without eager / batch loading. |
-| **Missing indexes** | New columns used in `WHERE` / `JOIN` without a supporting index. |
-| **Unbounded queries** | Full-table reads (`Model::all()`, `SELECT *` without `LIMIT`, unpaged list endpoints). |
-| **Raw SQL** | Parameterised queries only. No string concatenation with user input. |
-| **Migrations** | Reversible. Targets the right connection / schema. Idempotent where the platform supports it. |
-| **Money / precision** | Uses an exact-precision type (PHP `decimal` / `Math` helper, TS bigint / decimal lib, Python `Decimal`), never `float`. |
-
-### Security
-
-| Check | What to look for |
-|---|---|
-| **Authorization** | Authz check at every state-changing endpoint (Laravel Policy, Symfony voter, NestJS guard, framework middleware). No unprotected mutating routes. |
-| **Input validation** | All user input validated at the boundary via the framework's primitive. |
-| **Mass assignment** | No bulk-binding raw request payloads to ORM entities without an explicit allow-list (`$fillable` / `$guarded` in Laravel, DTO mapping in TS / Python). |
-| **Injection** | No raw queries / command lines / template strings with unescaped user input. |
-| **Output encoding** | Template output is escaped by default; raw / unescaped output is intentional and reviewed (Blade `{{ }}` vs `{!! !!}`, React `dangerouslySetInnerHTML`, Jinja `\|safe`). |
-| **Sensitive data** | No secrets, tokens, or passwords in code, logs, or error responses. |
-
-### Tests
-
-| Check | What to look for |
-|---|---|
-| **Coverage** | New code paths have tests. Bug fixes have regression tests (RED → GREEN). |
-| **Test quality** | Tests verify behaviour, not implementation details. |
-| **Framework idiom** | Correct conventions for the project's test framework (Pest / PHPUnit, Jest / Vitest, pytest, `go test`, `cargo test`) — see the stack carve-out for specifics. |
-| **Test data** | Provisioned via the project's idiom (seeders, factories, fixtures, builders). |
-| **Assertions** | Meaningful assertions. Not just "no exception thrown". |
-| **Flaky risks** | Time-dependent tests freeze the clock (`travel()`, `jest.useFakeTimers()`, `freezegun`). No reliance on execution speed. |

+carries only the depth the change needs (progressive disclosure; a dependency
+bump does not pay for the backend security table). Detect the change-type from
+the diff's file paths, then read the matching file:
+
+| Change-type | File-pattern signal (any match) | Checklist |
+|---|---|---|
+| **dependency** (expedited) | ONLY `composer.json`/`*.lock`, `package.json`/lockfiles, `pyproject.toml`, `go.mod`/`go.sum`, `Cargo.toml`/`*.lock` | [`checklists/dependency.md`](checklists/dependency.md) |
+| **migration / database** | `**/migrations/**`, `**/*migration*`, schema files, query-heavy data-access code | [`checklists/database.md`](checklists/database.md) |
+| **frontend / UI** | `*.tsx`, `*.jsx`, `*.vue`, `*.blade.php`, `*.css`, `components/**`, `resources/views/**` | [`checklists/frontend.md`](checklists/frontend.md) |
+| **infra / IaC / CI** | `*.tf`, `Dockerfile*`, `k8s/**`, `*.yaml` under `.github/workflows/`, Pulumi/Ansible | [`checklists/infra.md`](checklists/infra.md) |
+| **test-only** | ONLY `tests/**`, `*.test.*`, `*.spec.*`, `*Test.php` | [`checklists/test-only.md`](checklists/test-only.md) |

+| **backend / default** | anything else (server-side logic) | [`checklists/backend.md`](checklists/backend.md) |
+
+A diff spanning several types loads each matching checklist; a mixed diff is
+never downgraded to the expedited path (a lockfile bump *plus* code is backend
++ dependency). Every `checklists/*.md` file MUST be reachable from a row above.

+
+Some changes are unverifiable from source; when a gate fires the verdict is
+`❓`, not approval — ask for the missing evidence:
+

+- **New module / feature without a test plan** → `❓` (behaviour coverage unconfirmable).
+- **Optional cross-cutting gate** (per-project): a new state-changing op without a telemetry OR authz touch → `❓`.
+
+### Adaptive review depth
+
+Pick depth from diff size, override upward on risk:
+
+| Diff / surface size | Depth | What it means |
+|---|---|---|
+| **SMALL** (single file / few lines) | DEEP | Read every line; trace each branch. |
+| **MEDIUM** (a feature, several files) | FOCUSED | Deep on changed logic + its callers; skim the rest. |
+| **LARGE** (sweeping / many files) | SURGICAL | Deep on the risk-bearing files; explicitly bound the rest as un-deep-reviewed. |
+
+**Risk triggers force HIGH depth regardless of diff size:** auth / crypto,
+external calls / SSRF, removal of a validation or authz check, money /
+tenant-boundary code. [`blast-radius-analyzer`](../blast-radius-analyzer/SKILL.md)
+is one input to sizing; the depth policy + coverage-honesty line are this
+skill's addition. Every review ends with a **Coverage & confidence** line
+(deep-reviewed vs skimmed/bounded-out files + confidence) — silent partial
+coverage reads as full coverage.
+
+## Re-review scoping + parallel-review de-biasing
+
+- **Re-review scoping** — on a follow-up push, scope to the **changed lines
+  only**; never flag new issues in untouched code (note pre-existing issues
+  separately, never in the blocking set). Same discipline `fix-pr-comments`
+  reply rounds apply.
+- **Ordering-bias** — when N reviewers/lenses get the **same file set**
+  (`parallelizable: files`; council lenses), give each an independently
+  shuffled file order (deterministic seed per session, logged for replay) so
+  a fixed order does not correlate their blind spots. Single-reviewer → no shuffle.

 ## Output format
 
-1. Structure every finding by severity (Blocker / Suggestion / Nit) using the block below; never mix severities in one block.
-2. Group related findings; skip anything the project's linter or type-checker already catches — focus on logic, architecture, and judgment.
-3. End with a one-line verdict (approve / request-changes / comment) and a count of Blockers vs. Suggestions.
-
-When reviewing code, structure feedback by severity:
-
-```
-🔴 **Blocker** — must fix before merge
-Description of the issue and why it's critical.
-
-🟡 **Suggestion** — should fix, improves quality
-Description and suggested improvement.
-
-🟢 **Nit** — optional, minor improvement
-Description.
-```
-
-Group related findings. Don't repeat what the project's linter / type-checker already catches — focus on
-logic, architecture, and things tools can't detect.
+Validate, then emit these parts in order:
+
+1. **Reasoned validation first** — group candidates by file + line range,
+   disposition each CONFIRMED / adjusted / DROPPED with a one-line reason (not
+   vote-counting).
+2. **Tier 1 — Mechanical** — enumerated, fix-ready findings by severity blocks, never mixed.
+3. **Tier 2 — Alignment** — each flag names the principle/ADR at stake + the concern (from the governance-conflict scan); not fix-ready by construction.
+4. **Dropped false positives** — collapsible; each DROPPED candidate + reason. Empty is fine, but the section is mandatory (its presence proves validation ran).
+5. **Verdict line** — `YES` / `NOT-SURE` (`❓`, a metadata gate fired or coverage bounded) / `NO`, plus Tier-1 blocker/suggestion counts.
+6. **Coverage & confidence line** — deep vs skimmed/bounded-out files + confidence.
+
+Full template, governance-conflict scan (status-aware over `docs/decisions/`,
+incl. draft ADRs; guarded `git blame` reviewer hint), and the security-class
+deep-verify path → [`checklists/producing-the-review.md`](checklists/producing-the-review.md).
+
+> **Tally-vs-reasoned boundary.** Finding-level review uses reasoned validation
+> (each finding stands on its own traced reason); option-level decisions use
+> the council **stance tally** ([`ai-council`](../ai-council/SKILL.md)). Never
+> cross-apply — no resolving a bug finding by counting votes, no resolving a
+> design option by reasoned-validating one take. Mirrored in `ai-council` so

+Group related findings; skip what the linter / type-checker already catches.

+# Checklist — backend / default change
+
+Loaded on demand by [`code-review`](../SKILL.md) when the change is server-side
+logic (the default when no other change-type matches). Stack-agnostic; defer
+framework specifics to the carve-outs named in the skill body.
+
+## Code quality
+
+| Check | What to look for |
+|---|---|
+| **Type discipline** | New code is fully typed in the project's idiom (PHP typed properties + `declare(strict_types=1)`, TS strict, Python type hints, Go / Rust by construction). |
+| **Style conformance** | Matches the project's formatter / linter output — no reformatting battles, no out-of-band style. |
+| **Naming** | Clear, descriptive names; matches the dominant casing in the surrounding code. |
+| **Early returns** | No deep nesting. Guard clauses at the top. |
+| **Single responsibility** | Each class / module / function does one thing. HTTP handlers stay thin. |
+| **No magic** | No reach-through to globals (`app()`, `$_GET`, ambient context). No untyped data shapes leaking out of the I/O boundary. |
+| **Doc comments** | Only where the type system is insufficient (generics, complex shapes). No redundant docblocks. |
+
+## Architecture
+
+| Check | What to look for |
+|---|---|
+| **Layer separation** | Business logic in services / use-cases, not in HTTP handlers. Domain models stay I/O-free. |
+| **Handler shape** | New handlers follow the framework's recommended shape (Laravel single-action `__invoke`, Next.js route handler, Express handler-per-route). See the stack carve-out. |
+| **Input validation** | Validated at the request boundary via the framework's primitive (Laravel `FormRequest`, Zod / class-validator, Pydantic, struct-tag validators). No ad-hoc inline `if` checks. |
+| **Response shaping** | Returns through a transformer / serializer / DTO. Never returns raw ORM entities. |
+| **DTOs / value objects** | Structured data between layers, not raw associative arrays / `any` / `dict[str, Any]`. |
+| **Dependency injection** | Constructor injection (or framework-idiomatic equivalent). No service-locator calls in business logic. |
+
+## Security
+
+| Check | What to look for |
+|---|---|
+| **Authorization** | Authz check at every state-changing endpoint (Laravel Policy, Symfony voter, NestJS guard, framework middleware). No unprotected mutating routes. |
+| **Input validation** | All user input validated at the boundary via the framework's primitive. |
+| **Mass assignment** | No bulk-binding raw request payloads to ORM entities without an explicit allow-list (`$fillable` / `$guarded` in Laravel, DTO mapping in TS / Python). |
+| **Injection** | No raw queries / command lines / template strings with unescaped user input. |
+| **Output encoding** | Template output is escaped by default; raw / unescaped output is intentional and reviewed. |
+| **Sensitive data** | No secrets, tokens, or passwords in code, logs, or error responses. |
+
+## Tests
+
+| Check | What to look for |
+|---|---|
+| **Coverage** | New code paths have tests. Bug fixes have regression tests (RED → GREEN). |
+| **Test quality** | Tests verify behaviour, not implementation details. |
+| **Framework idiom** | Correct conventions for the project's test framework — see the stack carve-out. |
+| **Test data** | Provisioned via the project's idiom (seeders, factories, fixtures, builders). |
+| **Assertions** | Meaningful assertions. Not just "no exception thrown". |
+| **Flaky risks** | Time-dependent tests freeze the clock (`travel()`, `jest.useFakeTimers()`, `freezegun`). |

+# Checklist — database / migration change
+
+Loaded on demand by [`code-review`](../SKILL.md) when the diff touches
+migrations, schema, or query-heavy data-access code.
+
+| Check | What to look for |
+|---|---|
+| **N+1 queries** | Relationship / association access in loops without eager / batch loading. |
+| **Missing indexes** | New columns used in `WHERE` / `JOIN` without a supporting index. |
+| **Unbounded queries** | Full-table reads (`Model::all()`, `SELECT *` without `LIMIT`, unpaged list endpoints). |
+| **Raw SQL** | Parameterised queries only. No string concatenation with user input. |
+| **Migrations** | Reversible (expand-contract, never a bare `DROP` on a populated column). Targets the right connection / schema. Idempotent where the platform supports it. |
+| **Money / precision** | Uses an exact-precision type (PHP `decimal` / `Math` helper, TS bigint / decimal lib, Python `Decimal`), never `float`. |
+| **Data backfill** | A migration that rewrites data has a rollback path and is safe to run against production volume (batched, not one giant `UPDATE`). |
+| **Tenant scope** | New queries on tenant-owned tables carry the tenant scope; no cross-tenant leak. |
+
+A schema migration that drops or renames a column is a **Tier-2** alignment
+flag (blast radius across consumers) even when mechanically correct — surface
+the rollback path per the engineering safety floor.

+# Checklist — dependency bump (expedited)
+
+Loaded on demand by [`code-review`](../SKILL.md) when the diff is **only**
+manifest/lockfile changes (`composer.json`/`.lock`, `package.json`/lockfiles,
+`pyproject.toml`, `go.mod`/`go.sum`, `Cargo.toml`/`.lock`). Expedited — a
+dependency bump does not need the full backend checklist.
+
+| Check | What to look for |
+|---|---|
+| **Package is real** | The added package exists on the real registry (guards hallucinated / slop-squatted names) — see [`supply-chain-intake`](../../supply-chain-intake/SKILL.md). |
+| **Pinned + locked** | Version is pinned and the lockfile is updated in the same diff. |
+| **CVE delta** | The new version does not introduce a known CVE; a security bump names the CVE it closes. |
+| **Breaking changes** | Major-version bump → the changelog's breaking changes are addressed in the diff (not just the number changed). |
+| **Transitive surprise** | The lockfile diff has no unexpected large transitive additions (supply-chain surface). |
+
+If the diff mixes a dependency bump **with** code changes, it is not a pure
+dependency change — route to the change-type of the code portion and treat the
+bump as one more thing to verify, not the whole review.

+# Checklist — docs-only change (light)
+
+Loaded on demand by [`code-review`](../SKILL.md) when the diff touches **only**
+documentation / prose (no code, no config).
+
+| Check | What to look for |
+|---|---|
+| **Accuracy** | Claims match the current code; no reference to a removed/renamed symbol, flag, or path. |
+| **Links resolve** | Internal links and file paths point at files that exist. |
+| **No secrets** | No credentials, internal hostnames, or tokens pasted into the prose. |
+| **Scope** | Docs-only really is docs-only — a diff that also edits a generator's source strings is not (fix the generator, not the generated page). |
+
+Docs-only changes are the lightest review — skip the mechanical/architecture
+tiers entirely unless the diff turns out to touch code.
