Fill the placeholders
Re-read the diff you just produced as a reviewer whose bonus depends on
finding a real defect. Answer:
- CORRECTNESS: an input/state where this misbehaves? Construct it.
- CONTRACT: does every consumer of the changed surface still hold? List them.
- SECURITY: what does this expose (authz, injection, secrets, cache)?
- SIMPLER: name a smaller diff achieving the same outcome, or state none exists.
Verdict: SHIP or FIX, with the single most important reason.
