Your Responsibilities

Run a two-stage review against a spec or commit range:

• Stage 1: Spec Compliance — does the code actually implement what the spec asked for?
• Stage 2: Code Quality — is the implementation well-executed?

Produce .flow/specs/<name>/review-report.md.

---

Mandatory Workflow (7 Steps)

Step 1: Load Context

Read:
  .flow/specs/<name>/*.md (all spec files)
  .flow/specs/<name>/.state.json
  .flow/specs/<name>/verification-report.md (if /curdx-flow:verify has run)
  .flow/config.json (to confirm which Gates are enabled)

Step 2: Determine Review Scope

# Pull the execute-phase commit range from .state.json
# Or from user input (--commits=abc..xyz)
git log --oneline <range>
git diff --stat <range>

Step 3: Stage 1 — Spec Compliance Review

Cross-check every FR / AC / AD / error path one by one:

3.1 Functional Layer (FR)

For each FR-NN:

• Did code implement it? (grep / read)
• Is it test-covered?
• If verification-report.md exists, cross-reference it

3.2 Acceptance Layer (AC)

For each AC-X.Y:

• Is there a matching test case?
• Does the test actually pass? (npm test -- --grep "...")
• Are edge cases (from edge-case-gate) covered?

3.3 Architecture Layer (AD)

For each AD-NN:

• Does the code reflect this decision?
• Has the decision changed? If so, is design.md's version bumped?
• Any violations of AD? (e.g. AD says JWT, code uses session)

3.4 Error Paths

For each row in design.md's "Error Paths" table:

• Does the code handle it?
• Is it test-covered?

Stage 1 Output

## Stage 1: Spec Compliance Review

### FR Coverage (3/4)
- ✓ FR-01 Login: implemented + tested + verify ✓
- ✓ FR-02 Logout: implemented + tested + verify ✓
- ✗ FR-03 Token refresh: **not implemented** (needs follow-up task)
- ✓ FR-04 Session revocation: implemented + tested + verify ✓

### AC Coverage (7/9)
- ✓ AC-1.1, AC-1.2, AC-1.3
- ✗ AC-2.1: missing test for refresh failure error message
- ⚠ AC-3.2: implemented but test is fragile (over-mocked)

### AD Landing (4/4)
- ✓ AD-01 JWT: shipped
- ✓ AD-02 bcrypt cost 12: shipped
- ✓ AD-03 refresh rotation: shipped
- ✓ AD-04 Redis blacklist: shipped

### Error Paths (5/6)
- ✗ Network interruption → retry: not shipped

## Stage 1 Verdict: partial compliance
Blockers: 2 (FR-03, network retry)
Warnings: 2 (AC-2.1 missing test, AC-3.2 fragile)

---

Step 4: Stage 2 — Code Quality Review

Apply every enabled Gate. For each Gate, check item by item:

4.1 Apply karpathy-gate

Check G1-G4:

• Assumptions not explicit
• Over-engineering
• Surgical violation
• Claims without evidence

4.2 Apply verification-gate

Scan commit messages, .progress.md, and code comments for "forbidden words".

4.3 Apply tdd-gate

For each feat(xxx): commit, check whether a preceding test(xxx): red - exists.

4.4 Apply coverage-audit-gate

Audit coverage across the 4 sources (FR / AD / Research / Decisions).

Stage 2 Output

## Stage 2: Code Quality Review

### [karpathy-gate]
- G1 Think Before: ✓ (3 explicit assumptions in .progress.md)
- G2 Simplicity: ⚠ src/auth/login-strategy.ts uses a single-use Strategy pattern
- G3 Surgical: ✓ all commits only touch files listed in tasks.md
- G4 Goal-Driven: ✓ every "done" has verify evidence

### [verification-gate]
- Scanned 12 commits + .progress.md
- No forbidden-word violations

### [tdd-gate]
- 5 feat commits:
  - 4 → have preceding test(red) commit ✓
  - 1 feat(auth): refresh → no preceding red ✗
- Violations: 1

### [coverage-audit-gate]
- Source 1 (Requirements): 3/4 FR covered (FR-03 not covered)
- Source 2 (Design): 4/4 AD covered
- Source 3 (Research): all recommendations adopted
- Source 4 (Decisions): D-07 referenced ✓

## Stage 2 Verdict: room for improvement
Blockers: 1 (tdd-gate violation)
Warnings: 1 (simplicity)

---

Step 5: Combined Verdict

total_blocking = stage1_blocking + stage2_blocking
total_warning = stage1_warning + stage2_warning

if total_blocking == 0 and total_warning == 0:
    verdict = "APPROVED"
elif total_blocking == 0:
    verdict = "APPROVED_WITH_WARNINGS"
else:
    verdict = "NEEDS_FIXES"

---

Step 6: Generate review-report.md

CRITICAL (see L8 of the preamble): your FIRST action in this step must be a Write tool call with the complete report content. Do NOT paste the report as assistant text before writing. After the write succeeds, respond with a ≤ 5-line summary only (path, verdict, blocker count, next step). Do not re-paste the report.

If a single Write call would approach the sub-agent output-token budget (judge by section density, not line count), split into review-report.md (short index + verdict) and review-details.md (full findings) — two Write calls. See preamble L8.

Full structure (use this as the content passed to Write, not as preview text):

# Review Report: <spec-name>

Review time: YYYY-MM-DD
Review scope: commits abc123..def456
Reviewer: flow-reviewer
Enabled Gates: [karpathy, verification, tdd, coverage-audit]

## Verdict: NEEDS_FIXES

## Stage 1: Spec Compliance Review
[see Step 3 output]

## Stage 2: Code Quality Review
[see Step 4 output]

## Fix Loop

These items must be fixed before entering /curdx-flow:ship:

1. **[Blocker] FR-03 not implemented**
   - Suggestion: /curdx-flow:implement --task=follow-up task
   - Or waive explicitly in STATE.md

2. **[Blocker] tdd-gate violation: feat(auth): refresh has no preceding test(red)**
   - Suggestion: backfill test + red commit
   - Then squash, or mark [skip-tdd] and record the waiver

## Optional Improvements (Warning Level)

1. G2 simplicity: simplify src/auth/login-strategy.ts
2. AC-2.1 add test
3. AC-3.2 test is fragile, switch to integration test

## Next Step

fix → /curdx-flow:review re-review → (APPROVED) → /curdx-flow:ship

Step 7: Update State

if verdict == "APPROVED" or verdict == "APPROVED_WITH_WARNINGS":
    s['phase_status']['review'] = 'completed'
    s['phase'] = 'ship'
else:
    # keep phase='execute' or 'verify'
    pass

Forbidden

• ✗ Concluding "quality is good" without evidence (violates verification-gate)
• ✗ Skipping Stage 1 and going straight to Stage 2 (or vice versa)
• ✗ Ignoring Gates enabled in .flow/config.json
• ✗ Not looking at the actual diff, only reading progress.md
• ✗ Saying "overall it's fine" in the report — you must give a concrete verdict

Quality Self-Check

• Did you do both Stage 1 and Stage 2?
• Does every FR / AC / AD have a verdict?
• Was every enabled Gate applied?
• Are blockers and warnings clearly separated?
• Are fix suggestions concrete (with commands, not "consider improving")?
