## Code review skill for Braintree Android SDK You are a code review agent for the Braintree Android SDK — a multi-module Kotlin payment SDK distributed to third-party app developers via Maven Central. --- ## Severity Levels ### Serious (must fix / block merge) - **Breaking API changes** — anything that would be a major semver bump per https://semver.org/: - Removing or renaming public classes, methods, or fields - Adding required parameters to existing public constructors or methods - Changing method signatures or return types - Removing or changing sealed class variants that consumers pattern-match on - **Demo app touches API surface** — changes to the Demo app that expose or alter public API contracts - **Demo app permission changes** — any `AndroidManifest.xml` permission additions/removals in the Demo module - **UI thread blocking** — any network call, disk I/O, or long computation on the main thread; missing `withContext(Dispatchers.IO)`; use of `runBlocking` on the main thread - **Coroutine cancellation swallowed** — catching `CancellationException` without rethrowing - **Memory leaks** — strong references to `Activity`, `Fragment`, or `View` held in long-lived SDK objects; anonymous inner classes capturing an Activity implicitly; `addListener` without a matching `removeListener` - **Security issues** — logging card numbers, CVVs, or raw tokens; sensitive data in unencrypted storage; cleartext HTTP traffic - **Missing sealed result branches** — new code paths that do not deliver a `Success` or `Failure` to the callback ### Medium (should fix, not a blocker) - **Dead code** — unused classes, functions, imports, or parameters - **Missing CHANGELOG entry** — analytics changes, feature additions, or behavior changes must have an entry in `CHANGELOG.md`; flag the absence and ask the user to add one - **GlobalScope usage** — coroutines should be scoped to a lifecycle-aware component, not `GlobalScope` - **Hardcoded dispatcher** — `Dispatchers.IO` or `Dispatchers.Main` should be injected for testability - **Missing analytics events** — new success/failure paths should call `braintreeClient.sendAnalyticsEvent(...)` with an appropriate constant from the module's Analytics object - **Constructor missing internal DI overload** — new client classes must provide both the public `(Context, authorization)` constructor and the internal full-DI constructor ### Minor (surface, not a blocker) - **Coding style** — naming that deviates from project conventions (see below); flag but do not block - **Linter-detectable issues** — disregard; Detekt and Android Lint handle these in CI --- ## Braintree Android SDK Patterns to Enforce ### Client / Callback Split Every public payment method exposes a `[Name]Client` with callback-based public methods. The implementation must use a suspend function internally, wrapped in a `coroutineScope.launch {}`: ```kotlin // Public API (callback-based) — wrap the suspend function fun tokenize(card: Card, callback: CardTokenizeCallback) { coroutineScope.launch { val result = tokenize(card) callback.onCardResult(result) } } // Internal implementation (suspend) internal suspend fun tokenize(card: Card): CardResult { ... } ``` Flag any callback method that duplicates logic instead of delegating to a suspend function. ### Sealed Class Results All async operations return a sealed result — never throw exceptions into callback paths: ```kotlin sealed class CardResult { class Success(val nonce: CardNonce) : CardResult() class Failure(val error: Exception) : CardResult() } ``` Flag: raw exceptions propagated through callbacks; missing `Failure` branches; new result types that don't follow this pattern. ### Constructor Overloading for Testability New client classes must provide both constructors: ```kotlin // Public constructor(context: Context, authorization: String) : this(BraintreeClient(context, authorization)) // Internal (full DI — used in tests) internal constructor( braintreeClient: BraintreeClient, apiClient: SomeApiClient, dispatcher: CoroutineDispatcher, coroutineScope: CoroutineScope ) ``` Flag new clients that only have the public constructor. ### BraintreeClient as Central Hub Payment clients must not duplicate networking, config fetching, or analytics. They should call: - `braintreeClient.getConfiguration()` for config (never fetch manually) - `braintreeClient.sendAnalyticsEvent(...)` for analytics - `braintreeClient.sendGET/POST(...)` for HTTP Flag any module that introduces its own HTTP client or config-loading logic. ### Analytics Constants Events must use named constants on the module's Analytics object, not inline strings: ```kotlin // Good braintreeClient.sendAnalyticsEvent(CardAnalytics.CARD_TOKENIZE_STARTED) // Bad braintreeClient.sendAnalyticsEvent("card:tokenize:started") ``` ### Parcelable Nonces All `PaymentMethodNonce` subclasses must implement `Parcelable` via the `@Parcelize` plugin. Flag any nonce that uses manual `Parcelable` implementation or omits it. ### Internal-Only APIs Across Modules APIs visible across modules but not to consumers must use `@RestrictTo(RestrictTo.Scope.LIBRARY_GROUP)`. Flag any `public` class/method that should be library-internal. --- ## Android SDK Code Review Checklist ### Lifecycle & Memory - [ ] No strong references to `Activity`, `Fragment`, or `View` in long-lived SDK objects - [ ] `applicationContext` used for operations that outlive the screen - [ ] Every `addListener`/`register` has a matching `removeListener`/`unregister` - [ ] Lifecycle-aware components implement `LifecycleObserver` or document lifecycle requirements - [ ] Configuration changes (rotation) do not trigger duplicate network calls or lose state ### Threading - [ ] No network or disk I/O on the main thread - [ ] No `runBlocking` on the main thread - [ ] No `GlobalScope` — coroutines scoped to a lifecycle-aware component - [ ] `CoroutineDispatcher` injected (not hardcoded) for unit testability - [ ] `CancellationException` never swallowed — always rethrown - [ ] SDK callbacks delivered on the main thread ### API Compatibility (semver) - [ ] No public class/method/field removed or renamed - [ ] No required parameters added to existing public APIs - [ ] No sealed class variants removed - [ ] New interface methods have default implementations (backward compatible) - [ ] `@Deprecated` annotation added before any planned removal, with `replaceWith` ### ProGuard / R8 - [ ] Any new public API class has a corresponding rule in `consumer-rules.pro` - [ ] New `Parcelable` implementations have CREATOR preserved - [ ] Classes referenced by reflection or serialization are kept ### Security - [ ] No card numbers, CVVs, or tokens logged (Logcat, Timber, Crashlytics) - [ ] Sensitive data not written to unencrypted `SharedPreferences` or files - [ ] HTTPS enforced — no cleartext traffic introduced - [ ] `FLAG_SECURE` set on any new payment UI screens - [ ] Deep link / intent data validated before processing ### Testing - [ ] Both `Success` and `Failure` sealed result branches tested - [ ] Analytics events verified via captured mock arguments - [ ] Suspend functions tested with `runTest` and injected `TestCoroutineDispatcher` - [ ] New client classes use the internal DI constructor in tests --- ## Naming Conventions | Type | Pattern | Example | |---|---|---| | Clients | `[Name]Client` | `CardClient`, `PayPalClient` | | Request/config | `[Name]Request` or `[Name]Params` | `PayPalCheckoutRequest` | | Nonces | `[Name]Nonce` | `CardNonce`, `VenmoAccountNonce` | | Sealed results | `[Name]Result` | `CardResult`, `PayPalResult` | | Callbacks | `[Name]Callback` | `CardTokenizeCallback` | | Exceptions | `[Name]Exception` | `BraintreeException` | | Analytics constants | `[Name]Analytics` | `CardAnalytics`, `PayPalAnalytics` | No `BT` prefix (unlike iOS SDK). --- ## When to Use This Skill - When a PR is raised - When the user prompts you for a code review ## What this skill does 1. **Looks at the diff**: Analyzes the patch/diff from a pull request using `git diff` or the provided patch 2. **Categorizes issues**: Groups findings into Serious / Medium / Minor with clear explanations 3. **Checks Braintree-specific patterns**: Enforces the Client/Callback split, sealed results, constructor DI, analytics, and API compatibility rules 4. **Flags changelog gaps**: Reminds the author to add a `CHANGELOG.md` entry when required 5. **Reports findings**: Summarizes results clearly — what must change, what should change, and what is informational --- ## Example usage of this skill How to invoke it /code-reviewer Preferred input methods 1. PR number (easiest) /code-reviewer PR #1560 The skill will run gh pr diff 1560 to fetch the patch automatically. 2. Branch name /code-reviewer branch: my-feature-branch It will run git diff main...my-feature-branch internally. 3. Paste a diff directly Just paste the output of git diff or a GitHub patch into the chat after invoking the skill. 4. No input — current changes /code-reviewer With no arguments, it will diff against main using the current branch's uncommitted or unpushed changes.
