Goal: hand over a change that is easy to review and verify.

Use for:
- opening a pull request or asking for human/agent review
- packaging a branch so intent and evidence are clear
- self-reviewing before involving others

Workflow:
1. Self-review the full diff as if you did not write it.
2. Confirm tests exist and pass; capture the evidence.
3. Remove debug code, dead paths, and unrelated churn.
4. Write what changed, why, and how it was verified.
5. Call out risks, trade-offs, and areas needing scrutiny.
6. Keep the change focused; split unrelated work.

Review description:
- problem and chosen approach
- summary of changes by area
- test evidence and how to reproduce
- known risks and open questions

Rules:
- never request review without running the tests first
- keep diffs small and single-purpose
- flag your own uncertainty instead of hiding it
- do not bundle refactors with behavior changes
