Quality Gate

Run the full quality gate before merging. This orchestrates multiple checks into a single pass/fail verdict.

Gate 1 — Verification (automated)

Run the test and type-check commands (see project config).

• PASS: All tests green, zero type errors
• FAIL: Any test failure or type error → stop here, fix first

Gate 2 — Code Quality Audit

Check the codebase for structural issues:

Layer Violations

• Search for imports that violate the dependency flow (see Layers in project config)
• No lower layer importing from a higher layer

Dead Code

• Search for unused imports across the source root
• Search for functions/methods with zero callers
• Check for commented-out code blocks (remove or restore)

Concurrency

• Verify all external resource access is wrapped in the lock mechanism in the service class
• Verify no race conditions in middleware state

Observability

• Verify all state changes produce audit log entries
• Verify startup/shutdown events are logged
• Verify structured log format is consistent

Gate 3 — Security Review

Quick security pass:

• hmac.compare_digest() used for all secret comparisons
• No secrets in error responses (grep for stack trace patterns)
• No secrets logged at any level
• Auth enforced on all state-changing endpoints when API key is configured
• Input validation via Pydantic on all endpoints
• Rate limiting functional when configured

Gate 4 — Documentation Currency

• Project documentation API table matches actual routes
• Env example file matches all Settings fields
• OpenAPI metadata present on every endpoint
• from __future__ import annotations in every source file

Verdict

Gate 1 (Verify):    PASS / FAIL
Gate 2 (Quality):   PASS / FAIL (list violations)
Gate 3 (Security):  PASS / FAIL (list findings)
Gate 4 (Docs):      PASS / FAIL (list gaps)
─────────────────────────────────
OVERALL:            PASS / FAIL

PASS = Safe to merge. All gates green. FAIL = List every failing item with file:line and remediation. Do not merge.
