  ## Workflow
179
283
 
180
- 1. Confirm **base** and **head**; resolve **application name** from project metadata.
181
- 2. `git fetch` if needed; `git diff <base>...<head>` (optional pathspec exclusions as before).
182
- 3. Run `git diff --shortstat` and `git diff --stat` for **Counts** section.
183
- 4. Filter excluded paths and console-only noise from qualitative review.
184
- 5. Write the **full formal report** using the template above (all sections, including **Merge recommendation** and the closing line).
185
- 6. **Save** the identical markdown to `<git-root>/code-reviews/code-review_<sanitized-base>_vs_<sanitized-head>_<YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>.md` and state the absolute path to the user.
186
- 7. Delegate to **architect-dev-lead-reviewer** for an isolated pass if needed — same template and save step.
284
+ 1. Resolve **application name**, **tag** for IDs, **base** / **head**, **Prepared For** if user supplied.
285
+ 2. `git fetch` if needed; `git diff <base>...<head>` (optional pathspec exclusions).
286
+ 3. Run `--shortstat`, `--stat`, `--name-status` for metrics and file list.
287
+ 4. Build **TOC** and **section 2** from in-scope files only.
288
+ 5. Write **section 3** per file (depth proportional to change size).
289
+ 6. Consolidate into **sections 4–6** with stable IDs; **section 7** table; **section 8** scoreboard; **section 9** conclusion.
290
+ 7. **Save** full report to `<git-root>/code-reviews/code-review_<sanitized-base>_vs_<sanitized-head>_<YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>.md` and give the absolute path.
291
+ 8. Delegate to **architect-dev-lead-reviewer** when needed — same layout.
