From d94e1d69b4a1e22e8708c2c0fb91eabe5b2eb4df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Kropachev Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 13:43:07 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Improve review coverage and use runner settings Share evidence criteria across hosts so supported maintenance risks and minor findings remain visible. Inspect changed files before deep checks, recover truncated output, and reconcile every candidate explicitly.

For a changed bound, parser, allocation, or panic guard, construct concrete untested input shapes, including nested or malformed values and an alternate destination type where applicable. Calculate the bound against the actual minimum encoded bytes and allocation, and trace component indexing and nil/interface paths to the consumer. If the fix limits peer-controlled allocation, compute the maximum allocation before a later decoder rejects each shape and its ratio to payload bytes; compare that ratio with the PR's stated resource goal. A later error or linear big-O growth does not make a large amplification harmless. Verify any claimed companion or upstream input rejection in the pinned checkout's parser; do not assume it exists because the PR body mentions another change. Cite the rejecting branch for each shape or report the failure; do not call the code sound based only on the supplied tests. For a new wait, trace one in-flight producer without an actual configured timeout or cancellation: name what resolves its future, what shutdown or abort would unblock it, and whether the changed order places that action after the wait. Compare an active front entry and a queued successor separately; a previous close that could stall on one schedule does not prove the new wait cannot stall on an additional one. Do not call the old flush equivalent without checking whether it reaches the same unblocker before waiting on each entry. Give each agent these checks in its own prompt rather than only a summary of the supplied claim inventory. @@ -57,9 +60,9 @@ rather than overstating it as an existing runtime failure. **Standards evidence required in its agent prompt:** List whether each changed commit has a body; when applicable guidance or a PR checklist requires an explanation of what and why, check the subject-only commits as a group. Measure new and rewrapped documentation-line lengths against the surrounding file convention instead of judging wrapping visually. For a new queue or lifecycle flag, search all writers of the guarded queue/future, including setup-only writers, and report any concrete unguarded path. - **Toolkit:** In one pass, inspect comments and documentation for factual mismatch; test behavior and missing cases; error handling and swallowed failures; type and API design; correctness, maintainability, and security. For a new error path that discards a resource and schedules a retry, trace the stored state used by the next attempt: whether failure clears or changes it, whether repeated retries can succeed without external change, and what happens as existing resources expire. State that mechanism in a finding; scheduling another retry is not itself recovery. For a changed error log level, compare base and head and check whether repeated failures remain visible to operators or callers at default verbosity; report the visibility consequence separately from a commit-message mismatch. Compare a new error variant's display text and doc comment with every path that can produce it, not just the first call site. For changed tests, check that assertions enforce the claimed behavior, including whether they already hold before the changed action, every wait has a failure deadline, and cleanup still runs after an assertion or unexpected exception. A wait without a deadline and cleanup skipped by an exception are distinct hazards even when both can hang the test; cite both mechanisms. Map each changed production branch and client/server path to an actual test stimulus; do not count a test merely because it calls the surrounding method. When a test creates fixtures for both sides, check whether each captured hook is actually invoked and asserted. For a newly added override, compare the base declaration and nearby implementations under supported compile-time guards; a method that overrides only in the default configuration can leave another configuration abstract or fail to compile. For a new wait on queued work, trace every operation needed to settle that work, including peer I/O and shutdown or abort actions sequenced after the wait. Compare base and head ordering before concluding an older flush had the same liveness behavior. For changed docs and test comments, compare the stated consequence or platform coverage with the actual error, assertion, abort, or supported build path. Report an inaccurate failure contract when, for example, documentation promises a recoverable exception but the implementation aborts. Calling an assertion "an error" alone does not promise recoverability. For a comment about a pending future, trace object identity through moves and exchanges. A later wait on a ready replacement does not refute a claim about the original pending future. Inspect comments claiming coverage on a particular architecture against source constraints and build configuration; if read-only evidence is insufficient, mark the claim unproven. Check newly added comments against adjacent existing comments for duplication or contradiction. Combine overlapping checks into one finding.

Inspect the PR body and each commit for concrete rule violations, unsupported attribution or validation claims, broken local issue references, a fix split from its test into a later commit, and later fixup commits. For each commit, compare its subject and body with all behavior, public types, and ordering it changes; a subject about one fix may conceal a moved check or another bundled change.

A timeout bounds a poll but does not make its observation deterministic, and lack of an existing signal does not itself make polling the best test structure. For each new lifecycle flag, enumerate every writer of the guarded state, including setup-only paths, and check whether each is guarded or relies only on a comment about call order; report only a current failure or rule violation. Check whether send-like paths or existing predicates omit the flag. Compare newly added or rewrapped documentation lines with the surrounding file's line-length convention, reporting a concrete violation of an applicable documented rule. When a new documentation block sits above an older comment on the same declaration, check for duplicated descriptions and whether the old comment separates the doc block from the declaration. For each new test wrapper, name the behavior it adds and check whether its class name communicates that behavior; report unclear names separately from duplicated forwarding methods.

If a new wait makes close or stop explicitly depend on earlier queued work, check whether the PR describes that completion order; report a documentation gap only if that observable order is absent from the stated contract. If the PR already describes it, the new order alone is not a documentation defect. A separate runtime finding still needs its own reachable base/head counterexample. If a wait can remain pending on a peer, I/O, or a promise, check whether the PR describes that observable behavior and whether a test covers it.

Check whether one path's guard excludes a future already moved by the other only because the other writes the marker before moving it without suspending. This is a separate invariant from the local order of flag installation and exchange inside one path; if a new path relies on it, report the dependency when it causes a concrete current failure, violates an applicable rule, or demonstrates a maintenance risk across named paths and a coordination invariant. **When a queue wait moves ahead of a stream close, include this in both code-focused agent prompts:** Trace the old close through the output stream's local buffer, its flush implementation, the underlying sink's flush, and the sink's close or socket shutdown. A pending sink `put()` is not necessarily awaited by a separate flush of an empty local buffer. Check both batched and non-batched paths and identify whether the old close could reach the sink shutdown while that `put()` was pending, whereas the new queue wait cannot. Cite the actual implementations before claiming the two orders have the same liveness behavior. Report a newly delayed unblocker or widened trigger even if another old schedule could already stall. diff --git a/common/codex/passes/standards.md b/common/codex/passes/standards.md index 5fd1a8c..945918d 100644 --- a/common/codex/passes/standards.md +++ b/common/codex/passes/standards.md @@ -1,3 +1,3 @@ # Standards pass -Review against applicable, documented repository rules and established conventions supported by specific files.
