An estate MAY carry a documented exception for a repository whose gates are commit hooks rather
than review. Such an exception belongs in that estate's own working copy of this guide, is
scoped to the named repository, and is never precedent for a second one.
**Do not use `pr-review.sh` or `issue-comment.sh` to post a verdict** (mosaicstack#1280). Post
through a direct authenticated API call as your own seat, or hand the verdict to the requesting
seat. Handing it over is a legitimate delivery path, not a fallback.
## Evidence Discipline (applies to every finding)
The checklist below says what to look at. This section says when you are allowed to believe what
you saw. Every rule here was earned by a wrong conclusion that reached a report.
1. **A finding is a claim about behavior.** State the failing input, the path taken, and the
wrong result. "This looks fragile" is not a finding.
2. **A green check is not a result until you have shown it could go red.** Run the control. A
`0`, an empty result, or a column of identical values with no failing counterpart is a
non-result.
3. **Measurement and explanation are separate sentences.** Report the command and its output,
then, as its own sentence, what you think it means.
4. **Never widen the case you measured.** If you checked one path, the finding covers one path.
5. **Reproduce a reported failure before recording it, and say which tree you measured.** Two
correct measurements of two different trees disagree without either being wrong.
6. **Verify by content on the ref that ships**, never by ancestry of a local sha. A rebase mints
new shas; a commit being an ancestor of something local proves nothing about the remote.
Compare by digest against `origin/<branch>`.
7. **Confidence is part of the finding.** "I could not reproduce this" is a usable review
comment. A confident guess is not.
8. **Author is not reviewer** (Gate-16). Do not review your own work, or work you shaped closely
enough to be a co-author of. Say so and hand it back.
### Measuring a shell suite
Each of these produced a wrong conclusion before it was written down.
9. **`cmd | tail; echo rc=$?` reports `tail`'s exit code, not `cmd`'s.** It reads as a pass when
the command failed. Redirect to a file and check `rc` directly, or use `${PIPESTATUS[0]}`.
10. **Under `set -o pipefail`, a missed glob makes `ls` exit 2**, the pipeline inherits it, and
`set -e` kills the run. Iterate a glob with a `for` loop and an `-e` test instead of piping
`ls`.
11. **A suite that exits nonzero with ZERO output is an environment question, not a defect in
the code under review.** The usual cause is a sourced dependency that is absent, so `set -e`
kills the first case before anything prints. Extract whole tool trees — `tools/git` alone is
missing `tools/_lib/credentials.sh`. Isolate the variable and prove it by adding only that
back.
12. **`git -C <dir>` in a directory that is not itself a repo answers from the enclosing repo.**
A scratch tree under `~/.mosaic` reports `~/.mosaic`'s HEAD, not the PR's, and every
conclusion drawn from it describes the wrong tree. Confirm `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`
is the tree you think it is before trusting any git output.
13. **Run the repository's PINNED tool version.** `npx <tool>` resolves a local `node_modules`
install when one is present and fetches the latest release when one is not, so the same
command answers differently depending on where it ran. A reviewer measuring in a fresh clone
or a detached worktree — which is exactly where reviewers measure — has no `node_modules` and
silently gets the latest release instead of the pinned one. Measured on mosaicstack#1313: the
lockfile pins prettier 3.8.1, under which three guides pass; a version-less `npx` in a
worktree resolved 3.9.6, under which the same three fail; and 3.0.0, the floor of the declared
`^3.0.0` range, fails a different one. Three versions, three verdicts, identical bytes. Use
`node_modules/.bin/<tool>`, or name the version the lockfile pins.
14. **A formatter or linter declared as a range is a dated verdict, not a fact.** If a lockfile
pins it, the gate is reproducible today and will disagree with itself the day the pin moves.
Report a formatting failure with the version that produced it, always.

- **Should Fix**: important but not blocking (code quality, minor issues)
- **Suggestion**: optional improvement (style preference, nice-to-have)
- **Question**: seeking clarification
## Review Checklist
Reviewer seats split this checklist by class rather than duplicating it. A seat reviews its own
sections in full and may raise anything it notices outside them as a Suggestion, never as a
Blocker on someone else's ground.
| Reviewer class | Owns |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `rev-code-*` | 1 Correctness, 3 Testing, 4 Code Quality, 4a TypeScript, 5 Documentation, 6 Performance, 7 Dependencies |
| `rev-security-*` | 2 Security, 2a OWASP |
Where two seats of the same class review the same change, they review independently and compare
after. A second seat that reads the first seat's findings before measuring is a proofreader, not
a second opinion.
