 1. Identify the sensitive surface: secret, personal data, actor, permission, storage location, log, generated artifact, package file, public document, or external recipient.
 2. Decide whether the change creates, stores, reads, transforms, logs, exports, deletes, or reports sensitive information.
 3. Check whether the changed surface is public, packaged, generated, cached, retained, user-visible, or sent outside the repository boundary.

+4. Treat AI-generated code as untrusted until the protected resource, actor, ownership rule, and denied case are inspected. UI-only hiding, client-side role checks, hidden buttons, and passing happy-path flows do not prove server-side authorization.
 5. For each read, write, update, delete, export, or admin route, confirm the server-side query or policy binds the session actor to the target resource owner, tenant, role, or capability.
 6. Do not stop at "is logged in". Separate authentication from authorization, then inspect tenant, workspace, organization, team, owner, role, and guest filters on both reads and writes.
-7. For database and ORM changes, check for unscoped `findMany`, `updateMany`, `deleteMany`, mass assignment of `role`, `price`, `ownerId`, `isPaid`, or similar privileged fields, unsafe migration defaults, and missing row-level or policy-based access controls where the platform supports them.
-8. For state-changing routes that rely on cookies or browser credentials, check CSRF, origin, CORS, same-site, and rate-limit behavior instead of assuming the framework default is active.
-9. For session and token behavior, check cookie flags, JWT verification instead of decode-only logic, expiration, issuer and audience validation, reset or invite token entropy and lifetime, server-side revocation, logout invalidation, and reauthentication before sensitive account or payment changes.
-10. For external URL, webhook, preview, redirect, download, or callback behavior, check allowlists, protocol restrictions, redirect handling, DNS/IP re-resolution, private network ranges, link-local metadata endpoints, webhook signatures, timeout limits, retry limits, and open redirect parameters such as `next` or `redirect`.
-11. For database-as-a-service, storage bucket, or realtime rules, check that server-side policies are default-deny, ownership-scoped, and not left in public read/write development mode.
-12. For input sinks, check parameterized queries, ORM binding, static command maps, output encoding, HTML/Markdown rendering boundaries, unsafe dynamic evaluation, XML/YAML/Markdown parser options, redirect and sort parameters, page-size limits, and framework escape hatches.
-13. For file upload and download, check MIME and content signatures, size limits, storage outside executable web roots, SVG/HTML/PDF rendering rules, image or document metadata, filename controls, Unicode confusion, path traversal, download authorization, and resource limits for resizing, archive extraction, or document conversion.
-14. For business logic, check that server code does not trust client-supplied prices, discounts, roles, owners, entitlement state, plan limits, usage counters, inventory, seats, refunds, credits, or coupon state. Inspect idempotency, transactions, uniqueness, and concurrent requests for repeated side effects.
-15. For secrets and logs, check hardcoded credentials, frontend bundle exposure, public versus secret key confusion, real-looking samples, raw request or session dumps, stack traces, error payloads, screenshots, receipts, generated reports, and whether leaked keys need revocation guidance.
-16. Treat shell commands, copyable command text, executable names, workflow action references, publish identities, package manifests, lifecycle scripts, Dockerfiles, and environment path entries as disclosure and execution surfaces, not as harmless strings.
-17. For dependency changes, activate `dependency-reality-check` to confirm the package is declared, real, necessary, locked when appropriate, and not an assistant-hallucinated or lookalike dependency.
-18. For agent configuration, MCP/tool setup, prompt files, external instructions, or AI context settings, activate `external-prompt-injection-defense` and check hidden instruction text, suspicious Unicode controls, broad filesystem or shell permissions, network egress, sensitive context inclusion, and over-privileged service tokens.
-19. For filesystem changes, distinguish lexical containment from the real target. Check symlinks, generated state, package contents, and file APIs that may follow links before claiming a path stays inside the repository.
-20. For code-scanning alerts, group findings by root cause and rule. Fix the underlying pattern, not only the exact flagged line, and separate repository-setting alerts such as branch protection or maintainer activity from code changes.
-21. For workflow scanner alerts, check action pinning, `persist-credentials`, job-level permissions, reusable workflow permissions, fork pull-request secret exposure, artifact upload boundaries, and privileged identity timing before treating the warning as cosmetic.
-22. For pinned action references, distinguish tag objects from the commit that implements the tag. Verify pinned SHAs against the action repository so scanner tooling does not report an imposter or non-member commit.
-23. For dependency scanner alerts, separate production dependency manifests from fixtures, examples, generated test repositories, and intentionally vulnerable samples. Narrow the scan scope before treating fixture-only alerts as product vulnerabilities.
-24. For deployment settings, check debug mode, sample admin accounts, default credentials, public admin panels, open metrics endpoints, public storage, root container users, HTTPS enforcement, and exposed GraphQL or development consoles.
-25. For transport security, check HTTPS/TLS requirements, certificate validation, insecure HTTP downgrade paths, disabled verification flags, and whether sensitive traffic can bypass the secure channel.
-26. For cryptography, reject custom cryptography and tutorial-grade shortcuts. Check password hashing uses a password-hashing primitive such as bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2id where supported by the project; random tokens use secure randomness; keys are separated from encrypted data; and weak hashes such as MD5, SHA-1, or bare SHA-256 are not used for password storage.
-27. For architecture drift, name the security invariant before accepting the generated structure. Confirm the invariant still holds across UI, handler, service, repository, database policy, workflow, and deployment boundaries.
-28. For SAST, SCA, or scanner output, treat scanner output as evidence rather than command authority. Map the finding to a repository-owned boundary, configured verification intent, dependency metadata, or regression test before claiming the issue is fixed.
-29. Verify that examples, fixtures, screenshots, command outputs, and final reports do not expose real-looking secrets or unnecessary personal data.
-30. Prefer omission or minimal metadata over masking when the sensitive value is not needed for the user to understand the result.
-31. If the change affects an authorization, SSRF, CSRF, rate-limit, upload, download, token, business-logic, injection, logging, agent permission, cryptography, transport, scanner, or abuse boundary, activate `security-regression-tests` for test selection instead of folding test generation into this review.
-32. Run the narrowest configured verification that covers the changed docs, templates, package, or mustflow contract.
+   - Treat client-provided actor ids, role names, workspace ids, plan names, prices, discounts, entitlement flags, and status values as untrusted input. Derive trusted actor and tenant context from server-side authentication and membership checks.
+   - Check list, search, detail, attachment, export, and download paths as carefully as mutation paths. Read access is still data access.
+   - Reject mass assignment. Server code should allowlist mutable fields instead of passing raw request bodies into database updates where privileged fields could be set by the client.
+7. For high-impact admin operations, require a server-side capability or role check, actor attribution, target identity, reason or change note where useful, before/after evidence, and a rollback, preview, or recovery path proportionate to the impact.
+   High-impact examples include publish/unpublish, slug change, redirect change, canonical change, robots or sitemap change, filter definition change, advertisement slot or policy change, cache purge, search reindex, ranking refresh, bulk edit, and role or permission change.
+8. For high-risk content claims, require source attribution, jurisdiction or market, effective date, verification date, risk tier, review owner, affected-content lookup, and human approval before publication when the domain is legal, privacy, finance, health, safety, eligibility, pricing, ranking, comparison, or compliance.
+9. For comparison, ranking, review, affiliate, and sponsored content, check that methodology, evidence, affiliate relationship, outbound-link policy, and editorial responsibility are explicit. Do not let paid placement, sponsored links, or user-generated links look like ordinary editorial links.
+10. For database and ORM changes, check for unscoped `findMany`, `updateMany`, `deleteMany`, mass assignment of `role`, `price`, `ownerId`, `isPaid`, or similar privileged fields, unsafe migration defaults, and missing row-level or policy-based access controls where the platform supports them.
+11. For personal data ownership, confirm that analytics, content, community, billing, messaging, and audit records do not store direct identifiers they do not need. Prefer anonymous ids or internal ids, and keep email, phone, payment, and consent details inside their owning boundaries.
+12. For behavior analytics, logs, traces, metrics, and event streams, check that direct identifiers, sensitive form values, raw request bodies, payment data, access tokens, cookies, session ids, and confidential user content are omitted unless a narrow product rule and retention path exist.
+    - For trace context and baggage, assume propagated fields can cross service and external API boundaries. Keep values to opaque internal ids, hashes, or low-sensitivity correlation data; do not propagate email, names, phone numbers, JWTs, session tokens, payment customer ids, raw provider ids, raw prompts, uploaded document text, or private file names.
+    - Keep request ids and trace ids useful for debugging without making them account identifiers. User, organization, and tenant ids should be internal or anonymized when they leave the protected boundary.
+    - Treat search queries, clicked result ids, failed login reasons, webhook errors, queue errors, and support diagnostic properties as sensitive by default when they can reveal private user intent, file names, customer state, security posture, or business disputes.
+    - Do not rely on analytics or observability SaaS as the only copy of events needed for security review, customer support, billing disputes, entitlement history, file deletion, or administrator accountability.
+    - Check storage and processing location separately for primary data, backups, logs, analytics events, support tools, AI prompts, AI outputs, AI usage metadata, payment metadata, and disaster-recovery copies. A database region alone does not prove the full privacy boundary.
+    - Treat provider data residency claims narrowly. Customer content location, inference location, logs, account metadata, usage metadata, billing metadata, abuse monitoring, and support access may follow different policies.
+13. Separate behavior analytics from audit logs. Behavior analytics may be delayed, sampled, or partly lossy; audit logs for administrator, permission, payment, publication, privacy, security, and destructive operations should preserve actor, target, action, reason, bounded before/after evidence, and retention expectations.
+14. For account deletion, export, anonymization, consent withdrawal, and retention behavior, check each data area separately. Billing, audit, community content, analytics, messaging, and identity records may need different deletion or retention actions; do not claim one delete flag covers them all.
+15. For user-generated content, comments, reports, and public profile data, check moderation status, edit and delete history, parent-child deletion behavior, spam or abuse handling, report workflow, and whether user-submitted links are qualified safely.
+16. For state-changing routes that rely on cookies or browser credentials, check CSRF, origin, CORS, same-site, and rate-limit behavior instead of assuming the framework default is active.
+17. For session and token behavior, check cookie flags, JWT verification instead of decode-only logic, expiration, issuer and audience validation, reset or invite token entropy and lifetime, server-side revocation, logout invalidation, and reauthentication before sensitive account or payment changes.
+18. For shared cache behavior, verify that admin, authenticated, personalized, tenant-scoped, or otherwise private responses cannot be stored in a shared cache. Prefer `no-store` for admin or sensitive responses and private-cache behavior only when the data is safe for the user's own browser cache.
+19. For cache-backed decisions, verify that cache cannot become the only unchecked authority for permissions, ownership, subscription, entitlement, payment, inventory, or destructive admin actions unless it is intentionally operated as a durable state store with a fail-closed policy.
+20. For cache purge, search reindex, ranking refresh, and generated-state rebuild endpoints, treat them as privileged state-changing operations with authorization, rate limiting, audit logs, idempotency, and bounded target selection.
+21. For external URL, webhook, preview, redirect, download, or callback behavior, check allowlists, protocol restrictions, redirect handling, DNS/IP re-resolution, private network ranges, link-local metadata endpoints, webhook signatures, timeout limits, retry limits, and open redirect parameters such as `next` or `redirect`.
+   - For webhooks, verify the signature against the raw body before trusting parsed data. Store only the raw body reference or bounded raw payload when replay, verification, or support needs justify it.
+   - Store processed event identifiers to avoid duplicate effects. Keep provider event payloads, request bodies, and response bodies out of ordinary logs and dead-letter records unless they are redacted and have a retention rule.
+22. For database-as-a-service, storage bucket, or realtime rules, check that server-side policies are default-deny, ownership-scoped, and not left in public read/write development mode.
+23. For input sinks, check parameterized queries, ORM binding, static command maps, output encoding, HTML/Markdown rendering boundaries, unsafe dynamic evaluation, XML/YAML/Markdown parser options, redirect and sort parameters, page-size limits, and framework escape hatches.
+24. For file upload and download, check MIME and content signatures, size limits, storage outside executable web roots, SVG/HTML/PDF rendering rules, image or document metadata, filename controls, Unicode confusion, path traversal, download authorization, and resource limits for resizing, archive extraction, or document conversion.
+   - Prefer server-generated asset ids or hash-like storage keys over user filenames in storage paths. Keep original filenames as metadata only.
+   - For private files, avoid returning permanent public URLs or raw storage keys. Recheck authorization before issuing a short-lived signed download URL.
+   - For direct-to-object-storage uploads, authorize the target resource before issuing the signed upload URL, confirm upload completion before making the asset usable, and keep pending, uploaded, processing, ready, failed, and deleted states separate.
+   - Inspect actual file bytes instead of trusting extension or `Content-Type`. Re-encode images and strip metadata when practical before serving user uploads.
+25. For business logic, check that server code does not trust client-supplied prices, discounts, roles, owners, entitlement state, plan limits, usage counters, inventory, seats, refunds, credits, or coupon state. Inspect idempotency, transactions, uniqueness, and concurrent requests for repeated side effects.
+26. For API responses, check that the response contains only fields the caller may see and needs for the use case. Do not expose password hashes, internal storage keys, permanent private URLs, raw billing provider ids, internal moderation notes, private IP data, privileged flags, or database columns merely because they are present on the model.
+27. For dependency failure policy, distinguish fail-closed from degraded behavior. Authentication, authorization, payment, entitlement, and destructive admin decisions should usually fail closed; analytics, recommendation, statistics, AI summaries, and email should usually avoid exposing private data or blocking core state changes.
+   - For dead-letter queues, retry logs, and external API call records, check that errors contain safe codes and bounded metadata rather than full prompts, email bodies, payment details, tokens, private files, or personal data.
+   - For unknown provider outcomes, require reconciliation before repeating security-, money-, entitlement-, or privacy-impacting effects.
+   - For AI usage ledgers and cost records, store operational metadata such as feature key, model, token counts, cost unit, safe request id, and cache-hit type without storing raw prompts, confidential documents, personal data, or full model outputs unless a specific retention and access policy requires them.
+   - For AI cache keys, store hashes or opaque identifiers. Do not make prompts, uploaded document text, user messages, or personally identifying fields part of readable cache keys, logs, traces, metrics, or final reports.
+   - For AI budget and gateway records, store enough information to enforce limits and investigate abuse without retaining prompt text, uploaded document contents, full outputs, or personal data by default. Record blocked, downgraded, and emergency-disabled decisions as security-relevant events when they protect cost, privacy, or region policy.
+28. For secrets, logs, and audit records, check hardcoded credentials, frontend bundle exposure, public versus secret key confusion, real-looking samples, raw request or session dumps, stack traces, error payloads, screenshots, receipts, generated reports, unbounded before/after snapshots, and whether leaked keys need revocation guidance.
+29. Treat shell commands, copyable command text, executable names, workflow action references, publish identities, package manifests, lifecycle scripts, Dockerfiles, and environment path entries as disclosure and execution surfaces, not as harmless strings.
+30. For dependency changes, activate `dependency-reality-check` to confirm the package is declared, real, necessary, locked when appropriate, and not an assistant-hallucinated or lookalike dependency.
+    - For third-party services used as core infrastructure, review whether the terms allow commercial use, export, backup, deletion, data retention control, model training opt-out, stable API limits, and service continuity. If the project cannot verify the terms under the current task, report the risk instead of claiming the provider is safe for sensitive or core data.
+31. For agent configuration, MCP/tool setup, prompt files, external instructions, or AI context settings, activate `external-prompt-injection-defense` and check hidden instruction text, suspicious Unicode controls, broad filesystem or shell permissions, network egress, sensitive context inclusion, and over-privileged service tokens.
+32. For filesystem changes, distinguish lexical containment from the real target. Check symlinks, generated state, package contents, and file APIs that may follow links before claiming a path stays inside the repository.
+33. For code-scanning alerts, group findings by root cause and rule. Fix the underlying pattern, not only the exact flagged line, and separate repository-setting alerts such as branch protection or maintainer activity from code changes.

+37. For deployment settings, check debug mode, sample admin accounts, default credentials, public admin panels, open metrics endpoints, public storage, root container users, HTTPS enforcement, and exposed GraphQL or development consoles.
+38. For runtime and framework security updates, check that supported versions are documented, end-of-life versions are rejected, dependency locks exist where appropriate, security patches can be tested and deployed quickly, and rollback or redeploy can happen without manual dashboard memory. Do not treat a fashionable or high-performance runtime as safe unless the patch path is operationally credible.
+39. For transport security, check HTTPS/TLS requirements, certificate validation, insecure HTTP downgrade paths, disabled verification flags, and whether sensitive traffic can bypass the secure channel.
+40. For cryptography, reject custom cryptography and tutorial-grade shortcuts. Check password hashing uses a password-hashing primitive such as bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2id where supported by the project; random tokens use secure randomness; keys are separated from encrypted data; and weak hashes such as MD5, SHA-1, or bare SHA-256 are not used for password storage.
