Review Guidelines

• Focus only on critical security, reliability, performance, and scalability issues.
• Ignore style, performance micro-optimizations, and readability nits unless they are tied to a significant failure

What to Look For

• Authentication/authorization bypasses
• Secret leakage, unsafe logging, or credential exposure
• Unsafe defaults in security-sensitive areas
• Injection risks (SQL, command, template, path traversal, SSRF)
• Insecure crypto usage or key handling
• Privilege escalation or sandbox escapes
• Data corruption, durability failures, or irreversible loss scenarios
• Concurrency hazards that can cause outages or data races
• Reliability regressions: crash loops, panics, deadlocks, unbounded retries, nil pointer dereferences
