Version 1.2.4

Review the Jakarta Faces code in $ARGUMENTS (if no argument, scan the project for .xhtml and backing bean files) against the rules in .claude/faces/rules.md and its topic files.

Review Checklist

XHTML / Facelets

XML namespaces match the project's Faces version.
HTML5 doctype <!DOCTYPE html> is used, not XHTML doctype.
No "god form" (single form wrapping entire page); forms are scoped to logical sections.
No nested UIForm components.
UIInput and UICommand components are inside UIForm.
Every UIInput has a corresponding UIMessage.
A catch-all UIMessages with redisplay="false" exists in each view; when using ajax, its ID is covered by render/update.
Conditionally rendered components that are ajax-updated are wrapped in an always-rendered container, and ajax updates target the wrapper ID.
NamingContainer, UIInput and UICommand components have explicit IDs (no generated IDs); IDs follow naming convention (property name for value, method name for action, view ID name for forms/panels).
binding is not used for data binding; binding is only used on page-scoped variables for component cross-referencing within the same view.
Ajax render/update references across NamingContainer boundaries use full client ID with leading colon.
JSTL tags are only used for build-time view construction, not for conditional rendering (use rendered attribute instead).
No inline styles; CSS is in separate files.
Templates, includes, tag files, and composites are inside /WEB-INF/ to prevent direct client access.
Resources (scripts, styles, images) are referenced via <h:outputScript>, <h:outputStylesheet>, <h:graphicImage>, or #{resource[]}; when WEBAPP_RESOURCES_DIRECTORY is set to WEB-INF/resources, verify resources are actually in that location.
No duplicate/copy-pasted XHTML blocks; reusable code is in templates, includes, tag files, or composite components.
File download commands do not use ajax (or use <p:fileDownload> if PrimeFaces).

Backing Beans

@Named is used with a CDI scope annotation (not @ManagedBean, not missing scope).
@ViewScoped is imported from jakarta.faces.view (or javax.faces.view), not from jakarta.enterprise.context or javax.faces.bean.
Beans stored in HttpSession (@ViewScoped, @SessionScoped, @ConversationScoped, @FlowScoped, @ClientWindowScoped) implement Serializable.
Initial state is loaded in @PostConstruct, not in constructors, field initializers, or getters.
Getters are pure (no business logic, no lazy-loading, no side effects).
UISelectMany backing properties use mutable collections (new ArrayList), not List.of(), Arrays.asList(), or Stream.toList().
action methods are used for business logic; actionListener is only used to prepare/gate the action.
Scope matches usage: @RequestScoped for simple non-ajax forms, @ViewScoped for ajax forms/datatables, @ApplicationScoped for shared caches (must be thread-safe).

Configuration (if accessible)

web.xml has FACELETS_SKIP_COMMENTS set to true.
web.xml has INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL set to true.
WEBAPP_RESOURCES_DIRECTORY: when the resources directory contains composite components (.xhtml files), it MUST be set to WEB-INF/resources to prevent direct client access to composite component source code; for plain assets only (scripts, styles, images, fonts) it's merely a recommendation.
FacesServlet is mapped to *.xhtml only (no legacy *.jsf, *.faces, /faces/*).
faces-config.xml version matches pom.xml Faces dependency version.

PrimeFaces (if present)

Consult .claude/faces/topics/primefaces.md and check its rules.

OmniFaces (if present)

Consult .claude/faces/topics/omnifaces.md and check for opportunities to simplify code.

Output Format

For each finding, report:

File and line — the location.
Rule violated — short description of which rule.
Severity — error (will cause bugs), warning (anti-pattern/risk), or info (improvement opportunity).
Fix — concrete suggestion.

Group findings by file. If no issues are found, confirm the code follows Faces best practices.
