npm run lint
npm run type-check
npm run test
npm run format:check

Read the full diff as if reviewing a stranger's PR:
console.log, commented-out code, TODO, unused import, or dead file?src/components/ or src/lib/?Tests passing is not the same as the feature working:
npm run dev and load the route.src/__tests__/ (or co-located *.test.tsx) that
fails without your change.State what you verified and how. If something is untested or uncertain, say so explicitly — never imply verification that didn't happen.
