Systems Review

After implementing, let's review for second-order effects:

Implementation Summary

  1. What was built? Brief description.
  2. What changed? Files modified.
  3. What's the interface? Input/output contracts.

Performance Review

Analyze performance implications:

  • What's the time complexity?
  • What happens at 10x scale?
  • Where are potential bottlenecks?
  • Are there N+1 query risks?
  • Is caching appropriate?

Security Review

Check for security issues:

  • Is input validated?
  • Is authorization checked?
  • Could this be exploited?
  • Is sensitive data protected?
  • Are there injection risks?

Downstream Effects

Consider blast radius:

  • What breaks if this fails?
  • What systems depend on this?
  • Are there race conditions?
  • Could this cause cascading failures?

Test Coverage

Verify testing:

  • Is the happy path tested?
  • Are error paths tested?
  • Are edge cases covered?
  • Is the interface contract verified?

Recommendations

Based on review, provide:

  1. Critical - Must fix before shipping
  2. High - Should fix soon
  3. Medium - Consider improving
  4. Low - Nice to have

Sign-off Checklist

  • Decomposition was followed
  • Interfaces are verified
  • Error handling is complete
  • Performance is acceptable
  • Security is reviewed
  • Tests are adequate
