✅ No circular imports or dependency issues
✅ Test coverage >95% (verified via coverage report)
✅ All tests passing (174/174)
✅ No SQL injection vulnerabilities

## CODE REVIEW CHECKLIST (4 Phases)

### PHASE 1: Quick Review (Before Deep Dive)
Quick scan to catch obvious issues:

- [ ] Code compiles/imports without errors
- [ ] No syntax errors
- [ ] No obvious bugs (off-by-one, null pointer, etc.)
- [ ] File structure matches specification
- [ ] All files present (models, schemas, validators, error_codes, constants, service, router)

### PHASE 2: Acceptance Criteria Validation
Verify each AC is implemented:

### PHASE 4: Code Quality Validation

**Type Safety:**

- [ ] SQLAlchemy models have type annotations

**Documentation:**
- [ ] All public functions have docstrings

### ADVANCED CHECKS

**Architecture:**
- [ ] Separation of concerns (models, schemas, validators, service, router)
- [ ] Business logic in service layer (not in routes)
- [ ] Validators are pure functions (no side effects)
- [ ] No circular dependencies
- [ ] Dependencies injected (not hardcoded)

**Error Mapping:**
- [ ] All error codes mapped to HTTP status
- [ ] Mapping documented in code
- [ ] Mapping matches specification
- [ ] Example error mapping:
  ```
  ERROR_TO_STATUS = {
    "INVALID_EMAIL_FORMAT": 400,
    "EMAIL_ALREADY_EXISTS": 409,
    "FORBIDDEN_PROFILE_ACCESS": 403,
    "CONCURRENT_UPDATE_CONFLICT": 409,
    "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED": 429,
    ...
  }
  ```

**Response Format:**
- [ ] All responses follow standard format:
  ```json
  {
    "status": int,
    "data": object or null,
    "error": {"code": string, "message": string} or null,
    "meta": {"timestamp": "ISO8601Z", "request_id": "UUID"}
  }
  ```
- [ ] Status field always set
- [ ] Data present on success, null on error
- [ ] Error present on failure, null on success
- [ ] Timestamp always ISO8601 with Z
- [ ] request_id always UUID format

**Code Organization:**
- [ ] models.py: Only ORM models (no business logic)
- [ ] schemas.py: Only Pydantic schemas (no validation logic)
- [ ] validators.py: Only pure validators (no side effects)
- [ ] error_codes.py: Only error constants
- [ ] constants.py: Only field constraints, limits, defaults
- [ ] service.py: Business logic, orchestration
- [ ] router.py: FastAPI endpoints, error mapping

## CODE REVIEWER MINDSET

> "I am the final gatekeeper between development and production.
> My job is to ensure cheap LLM code is production-ready.
> If I approve it, it must be SAFE and CORRECT."

Remember: You have the power to reject code.
Use it wisely. Don't compromise quality to be 'nice'.
Production outages are worse than code review feedback.
