Slang Review Judgment-Call Resolution
Review candidates marked Status: Needs judgment call or with Overlap decision: Needs judgment call. The goal is to resolve uncertainty through focused analysis, not to wait for a
human reviewer.
Do not post comments. Update the canonical candidate markdown file in place.
Inputs
Read:
- The canonical candidate markdown file after consolidation and scope filtering.
tmp/pr-diff.patch and tmp/pr-files.txt, or the equivalent PR diff and file list.
- PR-version and base-version source around the candidate location.
- Callers, callees, tests, comments, and related declarations needed to answer the specific
uncertainty recorded in the candidate.
Decisions
For each judgment-call candidate, spend focused effort to make a decision:
Status: Keep when the concern is credible, in scope, and useful to post.
Status: Revise when the concern is credible but the proposed comment needs a narrower
location, clearer wording, or a different request.
Status: Drop when the concern is unsupported, duplicate, superseded, out of scope, or too
speculative after follow-up analysis.
Status: Needs judgment call only when focused analysis still cannot resolve the question.
Update or add:
- Judgment decision: Keep | Revise | Drop | Needs judgment call
- Judgment rationale: <one or two sentences describing the decisive evidence or remaining uncertainty>
If keeping, revising, or leaving a candidate as Needs judgment call, make sure it still has
postable metadata:
- Scope decision: Direct | Contextual
- Scope rationale: <one sentence>
- Overlap decision: Keep
- Overlap rationale: <one sentence>
Working Process
- Inventory all candidates marked
Needs judgment call.
- For each one, read the recorded uncertainty and identify the smallest source context needed
to answer it.
- Follow local call graph, data-flow, type, declaration-reference, test, or documentation
evidence far enough to decide whether the concern is credible and useful.
- Revise the proposed comment when the concern is real but the wording overstates confidence
or points at the wrong location.
- Move dropped candidates to a later
## Dropped section when practical, preserving enough
rationale for auditability.
