1.2 Review Comment Patterns

# AI Review Structure

## 📋 Summary

Brief description of what this PR does.

## ✅ What looks good

- Well-structured code
- Good test coverage
- Clear naming conventions

## ⚠️ Potential Issues

1. **Line 42**: Possible null pointer exception
   ```javascript
   // Current
   user.profile.name;
   // Suggested
   user?.profile?.name ?? "Unknown";
   ```

Line 78: Consider error handling
```
// Add try-catch or .catch()
```

💡 Suggestions

Consider extracting the validation logic into a separate function
Add JSDoc comments for public methods

🔒 Security Notes

No sensitive data exposure detected
API key handling looks correct

Best Practices

Security

Store API keys in GitHub Secrets
Use minimal permissions in workflows
Validate all inputs
Don't expose sensitive data in logs

Performance

Cache dependencies
Use matrix builds for parallel testing
Skip unnecessary jobs with path filters
Use self-hosted runners for heavy workloads

Reliability

Add timeouts to jobs
Handle rate limits gracefully
Implement retry logic
Have rollback procedures

Resources

Limitations

Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for enprojectnment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
