13## Core Workflow
14 
151. **Context** — Read PR description, understand the problem being solved. **Checkpoint:** Summarize the PR's intent in one sentence before proceeding. If you cannot, ask the author to clarify.
162. **Structure** — Review architecture and design decisions. Ask: Does this follow existing patterns in the codebase? Are new abstractions justified?
173. **Details** — Check code quality, security, and performance. Apply the checks in the Reference Guide below. Ask: Are there N+1 queries, hardcoded secrets, or injection risks?
184. **Tests** — Validate test coverage and quality. Ask: Are edge cases covered? Do tests assert behavior, not implementation?
195. **Feedback** — Produce a categorized report using the Output Template. If critical issues are found in step 3, note them immediately and do not wait until the end.
