+
+# Lens: data safety (assume the repo's hot tables hold millions of rows)
+
+Apply to: migrations, backfills, bulk writes, scheduled jobs that fan out per
+row.
+
+- **Migrations** — judge from the migration file and the model diff: the
+  operation types, `NOT NULL` adds, `DROP COLUMN`, added defaults, data-step
+  and raw-SQL bodies, index adds on large tables. Does the operation change
+  metadata only, scan the table, or rebuild it while holding a write lock? A
+  metadata-only change is deploy-safe; a scan still costs; a rebuild
+  write-locks for its whole run. Where the real DDL decides it and cannot be
+  read off the operation, ask the author for the rendered DDL in a
+  `[question]` — never a blocker asserting a hazard nobody rendered. Check
+  rolling-deploy ordering for DROP COLUMN / NOT NULL adds (old pods still run
+  the old schema mid-rollout).
+  **Migration naming/order — P1 ONLY when out of order with the base
+  branch**: if the PR adds a migration that the repo's migration tool orders
+  (by a sequence number, a timestamp, or a declared parent), verify it against
+  the **base branch**: its number must not already exist there, and its
+  declared parent must be the base branch's current head for that migration
+  set — out of sequence with the base branch (the migration tool would break
+  on merge) is P1. Number overlaps with other still-open PRs are **NOT
+  findings** — at most one `nit` note listing the PR numbers (whoever merges
+  second renumbers; that is routine).
+- **Blast radius sizing** — judge fan-out against **production row counts, not
+  the diff**. Any new/changed scheduled job, recovery cron, backfill, or
+  redispatch that does work per matching row needs a per-run cap with
+  deterministic ordering and a kill switch, and a predicate that is bounded;
+  missing any of these is P1. The current production count of rows matching
+  the trigger predicate is the author's to state: when the PR body does not,
+  ask for it in a `[question]` (an accumulated backlog is the payload of the
+  first tick). Review the **first tick over the accumulated backlog**, not the
+  steady state.
+- **Backfill-vs-validator proof** — any migration/backfill copying legacy data
+  into a newly validated field needs the count of nonconforming source rows;
+  "the data will fit the new pattern" is a claim. When the PR does not state
+  the count, ask the author for it in a `[question]`.
+
+## MIGRATION GATE (when the task string flags it)
+
+Judge on the same readable evidence. The ONLY ordering blocker is being out of
+order with the **base branch**. Report `gate: unproven` in your findings block,
+with the `[question]` that would settle it, unless the migration is readably
+metadata-only on a small table, in sequence with the base branch,
+backfill-free, and rolling-deploy ordering-safe — only in that narrow case
+report `gate: self-verdict-ok`.

+Selected because the diff moves work that used to happen immediately onto a
+queue, an event loop, a timer, a background task or a batch — or merges
+repeated requests into one later pass. The defects live in the gap between
+"requested" and "done".
+
+For each deferred operation, answer with `file:line` evidence:
+
+1. **Who wakes the consumer?** After something is queued, what guarantees the
+   queue is drained — a wakeup, a notify, the next loop iteration? Look for an
+   entry point that queues without waking (a synchronous API, an IPC handler,
+   an early return): its work waits until something unrelated happens.
+2. **Who reads before the drain?** List every reader of the state the
+   deferred work updates — a getter called right after the setter, the
+   command's own reply, a property observer, a test. Each now sees the OLD
+   value until the queue drains. Is that a contract change for it?
+3. **What does merging change?** If duplicate requests are merged or only the
+   last value is kept, list the handlers that apply RELATIVE changes (toggle,
+   increment, scale, append): merging pairs of those changes the result.
+4. **Order and errors.** Are queued operations still applied in the order
+   they were requested? Does an error in deferred work still reach the caller
+   that used to receive it synchronously?
+5. **Teardown.** What happens to queued work when its owner is destroyed or

+- **Redelivery sweep**: enumerate every database, index or external write reachable

+  conflict-safe (`ignore_conflicts`, upsert, `get_or_create`) or
+  transactionally grouped. If the PR claims "retry-safe", the sweep covers the
+  **whole task**, not only the statement that last crashed.
+- **Drop-path enumeration**: wherever a handler consumes its only delivery (a
+  `cache.add` dedup key, an ACK, a cursor advance), list every exit path
+  (`return`, `raise`, early guard) between that consumption and durable
+  completion of the work — each one is a permanent message-loss path requiring

+  at that point; verify any claimed compensating read by its **position in the
+  control flow**, not by plausibility.
+- **Fetch-window completeness**: when post-race correctness relies on a later
+  read "covering" earlier events, check the read's window semantics under
+  every ordering of {event arrival, boundary-advancing write, read} — a window
+  keyed to a moving boundary structurally cannot return events that land

+is a future bug on a timer: the day one copy changes and the other does not.
+
+## Three shapes, each found by reading and grep
+
+1. **Within the change.** The same logic added in two places of this diff —
+   two handlers computing the same condition, a check repeated in the caller
+   and the callee, the same literal list in two files.
+2. **Against the repo.** The change re-implements something the repo already
+   has: a helper, a util, a constant, a validator, a query. Grep for it by
+   what it DOES, not only by name (the parsing it performs, the key it reads,
+   the regex it uses). Cite the existing one, file and line.
+3. **Parallel copies that must change together.** Knowledge the change
+   touches in one place while another copy of it lives elsewhere — the

+Name both locations (file:line each) and what goes wrong when one changes
+without the other — or, for a re-implementation, what reusing the existing
+one buys (a fix it already has, a case it already handles). A finding
+without the second site is not a duplication finding.
+
+## Not duplication

+- Code that looks alike but encodes DIFFERENT decisions that may diverge

+# Lens: lint and format conformance (sub-lens of style)
+
+Your task string names the TOOLS a CI job of this repo runs on the changed
+files, the CI file that runs each, and its config. A changed line that breaks
+one of those tools' enabled rules fails that job: it is a build defect, not
+taste. You judge from the configuration — you never run a tool.
+
+How to work:
+
+1. **Read the CI step.** Open each named CI file and find the step that
+   runs the tool: which paths it covers, which flags it passes (`--check`,
+   `--max-warnings 0`, `-D warnings`, `--diff`), and whether a failure fails
+   the job (a step with `continue-on-error`, `|| true` or an allowed-failure
+   flag does not).
+2. **Read the config.** Open the tool's config file(s): which rules or style
+   options are enabled, at what level (error vs warning — and whether warnings
+   fail, per step 1), and which paths are excluded.
+3. **Check the changed lines only.** Get the diff (`git -C <worktree> diff
+   <merge-base> <head>`) and check each changed line of a covered file
+   against the enabled rules: indentation and continuation width, line
+   length, import order and grouping, trailing whitespace and final newline,
+   quote and brace style, unused bindings, missing helper calls the linter
+   requires (a test helper marker, a doc comment on an exported item), naming
+   rules. Match the tool's documented behaviour, not your preference.
+
+Reporting:
+
+- Report only a violation you can show from the config AND the changed line,
+  of a rule the CI step enforces as failing. Quote the rule or option
+  (`file:line` of the config) and the CI step that runs it.
+- **One finding per tool**, every violating site listed (`path:line`),
+  anchored at the first. Its severity is `P2`: the job fails.
+- The scope is failing rules on changed, included lines: a warning-only rule
+  the step does not fail on, a path the config excludes, or an unchanged line
+  lies outside it.
+- Formatting a tool would apply automatically still fails a `--check` step:
+  report it if the step checks rather than fixes.
+- `NONE` is the expected output when the changed lines conform.

+asks whether it will stay right when someone who was not in this PR touches it.
+
+## Every finding names the cost
+
+A maintainability finding is real only when you can say who gets it wrong and
+how: *the next caller of `foo` will pass seconds because the name says
+`timeout` and the code multiplies by 1000; the doc page still tells users to
+import from the old module and the snippet now fails.* Name the reader or the
+future change, the wrong conclusion they will draw, and what it costs. A
+finding that names no concrete cost is taste — drop it.
+
+## What to look for
+
+- **Words the change made wrong.** Comments, docstrings, README and docs
+  pages, examples, error messages, CLI help, config comments that describe
+  the OLD behaviour and now contradict the code. Grep for the changed
+  function, flag, route or setting name in prose — the stale reference is
+  usually in a file the diff did not touch. Quote the stale text and the line
+  that contradicts it.
+- **Names that mislead.** A name that says something the code does not do
+  (`validate` that also writes, `count` that returns a list, a unit in the
+  name the value is not in, a boolean whose true means the opposite). A
+  misleading name, not a name you would have chosen differently.
+- **Dead weight the change leaves behind.** Code made unreachable by this
+  change, a parameter no caller passes any more, a branch for a mode that no
+  longer exists, commented-out code, leftover debug output, a TODO that the
+  change itself resolved.
+- **Knowledge a reader cannot decode.** A magic number or string whose
+  meaning or origin is written nowhere (`* 0.87`, `sleep(7)`, `"x-legacy-2"`)
+  where the reason matters for changing it; a non-obvious invariant or
+  ordering the code relies on with no comment saying so.
+- **Types weaker than the value.** `any`/`object`/untyped where the value's
+  type is known and the repo types such values; a string standing in for a
+  closed set the repo already models as an enum — cite what the looser type
+  lets a future caller get wrong.
+- **Hidden coupling.** A change here that silently requires a matching change
+  elsewhere (a list mirrored in another module, an order two call sites must
+  keep) with nothing linking them — name both sites. (A literal duplicate of
+  the same knowledge belongs to `pass-duplication`.)
+- **Diagnosability.** A new error path whose message or log would not let an
+  operator tell what failed (swallowed cause, generic "failed", lost id).
+
+{{include:prompts/pass-quality-common.md}}
+
+## Severity is capped at P2
+
+Maintainability cost is debt, not an outage: every finding from this lens is
+`P2` at most (a `P2` posts as a blocker only at high confidence, under the
+ordinary map). Most are `P3` or `nit`: a stale comment is a `nit`, stale user

+aggregator; strip or allowlist before logging, and check persisted previews
+(tool outputs, traces) for embedded auth headers. All user input validated?
+SSRF on user-controlled URLs? New public endpoints rate-limited via the
+repo's own throttling layer? **Cache safety**: any response whose content
+depends on a request header/cookie (a tenant-id header, an API key,
+language) must send `Cache-Control: no-store`/`private` and `Vary` on those
+headers — a header-keyed tenant endpoint cached by URL alone serves one
+tenant's data to another, invisibly to backend telemetry.
+
+Severity guidance for this lens: cross-tenant reachability, credential
+leakage into logs/persisted payloads, and unauthenticated new endpoints are
+P0/P1 — never demote for "unlikely in practice". Low-confidence security
+findings survive as questions (the validator demotes rather than drops them).

+# Lens: simplicity
+
+Apply to: the complexity of the change relative to the job it does. The team's
+standing complaint is real code review pressure producing real code bloat:
+"we'll be forced to add many more lines handling every possible race condition
+and edge case that would never happen, and humans can't follow the code any
+more". This lens is the counter-pressure — applied to the CODE, never by
+lowering anyone's bar.
+
+## Question 1 — is there a simpler shape?
+
+Same behaviour, less mechanism: nesting that flattens, duplicated branches
+that fold, a flag parameter that splits into two call sites, state that a
+pure value replaces (speculative generality is `pass-abstraction`'s). Judge against
+the job the code does, and show the simpler shape concretely enough that the
+author can see it — name what disappears.
+
+## Question 2 — is a check overzealous?
+
+A guard is overzealous when it defends a state that CANNOT occur. That is a
+strong claim and it carries a proof burden: show the unreachability by
+reading — the callers that all pass a non-null value, the type that excludes
+the case, the invariant established upstream that makes the state impossible
+— and cite it in `evidence` (file and line). With the proof, the finding is
+"delete this guard, here is why the state cannot arise". Without the proof it
+is at most a `[question]`: "what produces this state? If nothing does, this
+guard can go."

+## Beyond the diff is allowed
+
+When the diff's complexity signals a wrong or leaky abstraction — the
+edge-case explosion — you may point past the diff at the simpler shape of the
+surrounding structure. State the invariant that must hold and the shape that
+holds it; do not prescribe the rewrite (the remedy-size rule applies — a
+remedy larger than the PR is a design objection, not a merge blocker). More
+upfront refactor work for a cleaner abstraction is an accepted trade here.

+<!-- RATIFIED never-counter-finding — do not edit; owner only -->
+## Never a counter-finding
+
+You judge the code as it stands, never other passes' findings. If another
+lens would demand a guard you consider unnecessary, your finding simply
+states the unreachability evidence for the code; the validator weighs
+evidence against evidence. You never argue with, veto, or soften anything —
+and nothing from this lens ever moves the blocker bar.
+<!-- /RATIFIED never-counter-finding -->
+
+<!-- RATIFIED p2-cap — do not edit; owner only -->
+## Severity is capped at P2
+
+Complexity is debt, not an outage: every finding from this lens is `P2` at
+most (a `P2` posts as a blocker only at high confidence, under the ordinary
+map). A genuine defect you notice belongs to its owning lens — raise it as a
+`P3` question naming the concern.
+<!-- /RATIFIED p2-cap -->
+
+`NONE` is the correct output when the code is as simple as its job allows —
+often true.
