# Pull Request Review Template
Use this shape as a copyable reference for substantive PR reviews; GitHub does
not auto-apply this file to review comments. Omit sections that do not add
useful signal. Lead with confirmed findings; keep speculative notes out of the
public review unless they are framed as a concrete open question.
## Small PR Path
For narrow docs, typo, test-only, or obvious local fixes, a short review is
enough:
```md
LGTM after checking:
- scope:
- validation:
- residual risk:
```
Use the fuller structure below for larger, risky, multi-finding, or
security-sensitive reviews.
## Findings
**<sub><sub>![P2 Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/P2-yellow?style=flat)</sub></sub> issue (test): Short issue title**
- **Problem:** Concrete broken flow, contract, input, or risk.
- **Impact:** Why this matters to users, CI, maintainers, data, security, or scale.
- **Ask:** Smallest practical correction or decision the author should make.
- **Location:** `path:line`
## Open Questions
- **question (scope, non-blocking): Short author question** Ask the concrete
intent, scope, or tradeoff question.
## Validation
- Ran:
- Not run:
- Residual risk:
## PR Hygiene
- Target/template/checks:
- Related, duplicate, or superseding context:
## No Findings Variant
```md
## Findings
none confirmed
## Validation
- Ran:
- Not run:
- Residual risk:
```
## Legend
- **Findings:** Verified, author-actionable issues that should be fixed or
consciously accepted before merge.
- **Priority badges:** The shields.io badges below are optional formatting for
priority labels. Plain `P0`, `P1`, `P2`, or `P3` text is also acceptable when
an external image dependency is undesirable or may not render.
- **P0:** `![P0 Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/P0-red?style=flat)` -
release-blocking or actively dangerous.
- **P1:** `![P1 Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/P1-orange?style=flat)` -
serious bug, security risk, data-loss risk, or broken primary flow.
- **P2:** `![P2 Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/P2-yellow?style=flat)` -
meaningful correctness, test, maintainability, or edge-case issue.
- **P3:** `![P3 Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/P3-lightgrey?style=flat)` -
minor polish or low-risk cleanup.
- **Intent labels:**
- **`issue`:** A confirmed defect, regression, broken contract, or concrete
risk.
- **`suggestion`:** A non-blocking improvement that would make the PR clearer,
safer, or easier to maintain.
- **`nit`:** A tiny, non-blocking cleanup or style note. Use it only when the
author can safely ignore it without changing the review outcome.
- **`question`:** A real author-facing clarification about intent, scope, or
tradeoffs. Do not use questions to hide an issue that should be stated
directly.
- **`LGTM`:** "Looks good to me." Use only when the review found no blocking
issues, or when any remaining notes are clearly optional.
- **Decorations:** Optional labels in parentheses that clarify the finding type,
scope, or merge impact.
- **`security`:** Auth, authorization, ownership, secrets, SSRF, injection,
unsafe external input, or other trust-boundary concerns.
- **`test`:** Missing, failing, misleading, brittle, or insufficient tests.
- **`scope`:** PR scope, feature boundaries, unrelated churn, or work that
should be split into a separate issue or PR.
- **`ci`:** CI configuration, workflow failures, flaky checks, or validation
signal quality.
- **`api`:** Route, request/response, public function, schema, persistence, or
integration contract changes.
- **`docs`:** User-facing docs, contributor docs, examples, or comments that
need to change with the code.
- **`non-blocking`:** Useful feedback that should not prevent merge by
itself.
- **Finding fields:**
- **Problem:** What is wrong, what contract is ambiguous, or what risk the PR
introduces.
- **Impact:** Why the problem matters in practical terms.
- **Ask:** The smallest concrete fix, test, or decision requested from the PR
author.
- **Location:** The most useful repo-relative file and line reference for the
finding, using `path:line`.
- **Optional sections:**
- **Open Questions:** Genuine scope or intent questions; omit when there are
no real questions.
- **Validation:** What the reviewer ran, what was intentionally not run, and
what risk remains after review.
- **PR Hygiene:** Target-branch, template, CI/check, duplicate, related-work,
or superseding-PR notes.
- **`none confirmed`:** Use only when no review-worthy findings were confirmed;
still list validation gaps or residual risk when relevant.
