Code Review Guide

Check out the branch $ARGUMENTS and give me a thorough guided tour of the changes.

Steps

1. Run git fetch origin then git checkout $ARGUMENTS
2. Run git diff main...$ARGUMENTS --stat to get an overview of changed files
3. Run git log main...$ARGUMENTS --oneline to understand the commit history
4. For each changed file, run git diff main...$ARGUMENTS -- <file> and analyze the diff

For each file, provide:

• Summary: What changed and the likely intent
• Risks: Bugs, security issues, race conditions, error handling gaps
• Performance: N+1 queries, unnecessary allocations, missing indexes
• Style: Naming, structure, consistency with surrounding code
• Testing gaps: What's untested or under-tested

At the end, provide:

• An overall assessment (approve / request changes / needs discussion)
• A prioritized list of the top issues to raise in review
• Suggested review comments I can paste directly into the PR
• Suggested files for a human reviewer to pay attention to
