description	Use after meaningful implementation work to create an independent Yardlet review task

Requesting Code Review

Purpose

Turn review into an explicit Yardlet queue item with bounded inputs and a structured verdict. Review is independent work, not an implicit hidden action.

When to Request

Request review after a meaningful implementation slice, before integration, or when the task contract explicitly requires independent acceptance review.

Prepare Evidence

Record:

• what was implemented;
• the governing intent, task, or specification;
• the exact changed files or local revision range;
• validation commands already run and their results;
• unresolved risks or assumptions.

Do not claim that the implementation is correct. The review task owns that judgment.

Create the Review Task

Create or propose a normal Yardlet queue task with kind: review. Keep its allowed scope read-only unless the contract explicitly creates a separate repair task. Use code-reviewer.md as the review body.

The review must return one verdict per acceptance criterion with concrete file, command, or runtime evidence. A failed criterion remains failed until a later repair task changes the workspace and review is rerun.

Act on Findings

• Repair critical and important findings in a bounded implementation task.
• Challenge an incorrect finding with code or test evidence.
• Keep optional polish separate from blocking acceptance.
• Never mark the reviewed task complete solely because the implementer reports success.
