Review PR Risk
Workflow
- Inspect the changed files and infer the public surface affected by the PR.
- Read nearby tests, docs, changelog, package metadata, and call sites before judging risk.
- Read
references/risk-rubric.mdwhen assigning severity or merge readiness. - Prioritize concrete bugs over style preferences.
- Verify whether tests cover the changed behavior; run focused tests when feasible.
- Produce findings first, then open questions, then a merge recommendation.
Review Posture
- Prefer specific file and line references when available.
- Avoid blocking on cosmetic issues unless they obscure correctness or maintainability.
- Call out compatibility risk for public APIs, config formats, CLIs, serialized data, database migrations, and dependency constraints.
- Treat security, auth, permissions, secret handling, path traversal, injection, and unsafe deserialization as high-scrutiny areas.
- If the PR is low risk, say so clearly and identify the remaining verification gap.
