Issue: Description
Fix: What to change
Repo directlyhandle_event should be offloaded with send(self(), msg)stream/3 for large, updatable lists (not assign)temporary_assigns for data that doesn't need to persist across renderscontent-type: application/problem+json) with type, title, status, detail, instance — not { error: "message" }%{ "data" => ... } with optional meta for pagination — not bare mapsaction_fallback MyAppWeb.FallbackController should render Problem Details for all {:error, ...} tuplesFor Elixir patterns and testing examples, see skills: elixir-patterns, elixir-testing, elixir-patterns-advanced.

Review with the mindset: "Would this pass code review at a top Elixir/Phoenix shop?"
Input: 3 modified .ex files after adding a market publishing feature in a Phoenix app.
Output:
## Review: lib/my_app/markets/market_context.ex
### CRITICAL
- [market_context.ex:28] SQL injection: string interpolation in `Repo.query("SELECT * FROM markets WHERE slug = '#{slug}'"` — Fix: use Ecto query DSL `from m in Market, where: m.slug == ^slug`
- [market_context.ex:45] Unsupervised process: `spawn(fn -> send_notification(market) end)` — Fix: use `Task.Supervisor.start_child(MyApp.TaskSupervisor, fn -> ... end)`
### HIGH
- [market_context.ex:67] N+1 queries: accessing `market.owner` inside `Enum.map` loop — Fix: add `Repo.preload(markets, :owner)` before the map
### MEDIUM
- [market.ex:12] Missing @spec on public `publish/1` function — Fix: add `@spec publish(Market.t()) :: {:ok, Market.t()} | {:error, Ecto.Changeset.t()}`
### Summary
2 critical, 1 high, 1 medium. Block merge until CRITICAL and HIGH are resolved.
Input: 2 modified .ex files after adding a LiveView dashboard with a real-time metrics stream.
Output:
## Review: lib/my_app_web/live/metrics_live.ex
### CRITICAL
- [metrics_live.ex:19] Atom exhaustion: `String.to_atom(params["metric_type"])` — Fix: use `String.to_existing_atom/1` with rescue, or a whitelist map
### HIGH
- [metrics_live.ex:44] LiveView assign explosion: assigning full `metrics` list on every tick — Fix: use `stream(socket, :metrics, new_entries)` for large, updatable lists
- [metrics_live.ex:61] Blocking handle_info: heavy aggregation in `handle_info(:tick, socket)` blocks the LiveView process — Fix: offload with `send(self(), :compute)` and return immediately
### MEDIUM
- [metrics_live.ex:8] Missing @doc on public `mount/3` — add documentation describing required assigns
### Summary
1 critical, 2 high, 1 medium. Block merge until CRITICAL and HIGH are resolved.
