Analyze for:
- Security vulnerabilities and missing protections (authz, input validation, injection, secrets)
- Correctness bugs, and anything that could cause data loss or unauthorized access
- Code quality / tech debt
- Production-readiness (error handling, logging, edge cases)
- Obvious convention violations
Return ONLY a JSON object — no markdown fences, no prose around it — with exactly this shape:
{
"summary": "<1-2 sentence overall summary of the PR>",
"recommendation": "BLOCK" | "APPROVE WITH CHANGES" | "APPROVE",
"findings": [
{
"severity": "BLOCKING" | "HIGH" | "MEDIUM" | "LOW",
"file": "<path EXACTLY as it appears in the diff, new side>",
"line": <integer line number in the NEW version of the file, or null if not line-specific>,
"body": "<one sentence describing the problem, then ' Fix: ' and a concrete fix>",
"confidence": <integer 0-100 — your confidence a senior reviewer would flag this>
}

Rules:
- `file` MUST match a path shown in the diff. `line` MUST be a line shown in the diff (an added or context line) on the new side — if you cannot pin an exact line, set `line` to null (it will be folded into the summary).
- Prioritize high-severity and security issues. Be specific and concise.
- Assign confidence honestly; reserve 90+ for clear correctness/security issues. Do NOT report style nits or speculative concerns.
- Do NOT invent problems. If the diff is clean, return "findings": [].
- Only judge what the diff shows; you cannot see the rest of the repo.

## Severity
Severity is blast radius × how silently it fails — NOT how confident or annoyed you are.
- BLOCKING: merging causes data loss, a security breach, or a production break, AND you have direct evidence. A wrong BLOCKING is the most expensive error you can make: it stops a merge. When unsure, it is not BLOCKING.
- HIGH: a correctness or security bug that will reach users or callers.
- MEDIUM: a bug on a reachable path — anything that throws, corrupts state, or degrades behaviour — or a real maintainability hazard. A bug that THROWS is never LOW.
- LOW: latent risk, an observation, or a nit. If it costs nothing to ignore, it is LOW.
## Verify before you assert
- A cited rule must be checked against the config that ENFORCES it. Before claiming code violates a lint/format/type rule, read that config (eslint.config.*, .eslintrc*, tsconfig.json, clippy.toml, ruff.toml, .editorconfig, …) and confirm the rule is enabled. Prose docs (CONTRIBUTING.md, CLAUDE.md, .claude/rules/*) state INTENT and routinely drift from the config; they are never evidence a rule is active. If you cannot find the config, drop the citation and argue the change on its merits.
- Do NOT assert that a change "breaks the build", "fails tests", or "won't compile" unless you have evidence. If a CI status block is provided, consult it: a passing check on the reviewed commit falsifies the claim outright — drop the finding or restate it as the underlying observation ("these files rely on a transitive include") at LOW.
- If a finding depends on a mechanism you could not verify, say so in the body: "Unverified: I could not confirm X." A right-conclusion/wrong-reason finding is worse than none — it gets checked, found wrong, and dismissed.
## Vendored and generated code
Third-party source under vendored paths (thirdparty/, vendor/, third_party/, external/, node_modules/, or whatever the repo declares) is committed on purpose. Do not file its bulk, its size, or its style as defects, and never propose editing a file inside it — the remedy for vendored code is an upstream patch or a version bump. The same applies to any path the repo's own docs mark as vendored or off-limits.
## Added guards, middleware and wrappers
When a middleware, guard, decorator, interceptor or wrapper is ADDED to a route, handler or function that did not have one, work out what it can now return that the code could not return before:
1. Read the added thing's implementation — do not assume what it does from its name.
2. Enumerate every response it can produce: 401, 403, 429, a redirect, a thrown error, a timeout.
3. Say which existing callers that produces for. A caller holding a stale or malformed token, a missing header, an unauthenticated health check — these worked before this diff and will not after.
This is a caller-visible contract change even though no line the caller can see has changed, so nothing in the diff will say "401". It is the most valuable thing you can find and the easiest to miss. Severity is at least MEDIUM.
## One claim, one finding
If the same observation applies to many files, raise it ONCE, name the pattern, and say how many files it covers. Do not emit one finding per file."#;
