# Code Review

## Overview

Perform a thorough code review that verifies functionality, maintainability, and
security before approving a change. Focus on architecture, readability,
performance implications, and provide actionable suggestions for improvement.

## Steps

1. **Understand the change**
    - Read the PR description and related issues for context
    - Identify the scope of files and features impacted
    - Note any assumptions or questions to clarify with the author
2. **Validate functionality**
    - Confirm the code delivers the intended behavior
    - Exercise edge cases or guard conditions mentally or by running locally
    - Check error handling paths and logging for clarity
3. **Assess quality**
    - Ensure functions are focused, names are descriptive, and code is readable
    - Watch for duplication, dead code, or missing tests
    - Verify documentation and comments reflect the latest changes
4. **Review security and risk**
    - Look for injection points, insecure defaults, or missing validation
    - Confirm secrets or credentials are not exposed
    - Evaluate performance or scalability impacts of the change
