Review code changes for patchwork only, not correctness. One line per finding.
Format
L<line>: <tag> <what is patched>. <redesign>.
Tags:
patch: fix covering a design flaw. Name the flaw.complexity: code added to fight existing complexity. Name the root.phantom: error handling for a scenario that shouldn't exist.shrink: same logic, genuinely simpler structure. Show the simpler form.
Examples
✅ L22-45: patch: null guard hiding upstream caller passing wrong type. Fix the caller.
✅ L8: phantom: try/catch around code that can't throw. Remove.
✅ L31-60: complexity: retry logic working around a non-idempotent API. Make the API idempotent.
✅ L14-28: shrink: manual recursion reimplementing reduce. sum(items), 1 line.
Scoring
End with: root causes addressable: <N>.
If nothing to fix: Clean pipes. Ship.
Boundaries
Scope: patchwork and complexity only. Correctness bugs and security are out of scope. Lists findings, applies nothing. One-shot.
