## Blocking Issues (CRITICAL/HIGH)

### 1. Integer Type Mismatch: u32 vs i64 (BLOCKING - HIGH)
**Confidence**: 90% | **Impact**: API boundary friction

- **Location**: `storage_types.rs:18-20`, `types.rs:284-290`
- **Problem**: `FileTemporalStats` uses `u32` for commit counts while `HotspotRow`/`RiskRow` use `i64` (SQLite's native INTEGER type). These represent the same logical data (non-negative counts) but at different layers, forcing manual conversion at the sync boundary.
- **Why it blocks**: This type mismatch will cause conversion friction every time these layers are wired together, violating the consistency principle of "same data = same type" across related structures.
- **Resolution**: Standardize on `u32` in row types, widening to `i64` only at SQLite insertion boundary using `i64::from()`.

```rust
// storage_types.rs — change from i64 to u32
pub struct HotspotRow {
    pub file_path: String,
    pub score: f64,
    pub changes_30d: u32,  // was i64
    pub changes_90d: u32,  // was i64
}

pub struct RiskRow {
    pub file_path: String,
    pub risk_score: f64,
    pub total_commits: u32,   // was i64
    pub fix_commits: u32,     // was i64
    pub fix_density: f64,
}

pub struct CochangeRow {
    pub file_a: String,
    pub file_b: String,
    pub count: u32,  // was i64
    pub jaccard: f64,
}

// storage_ops.rs insert helpers — widen at boundary
stmt.execute(params![row.file_path, row.score, i64::from(row.changes_30d), i64::from(row.changes_90d)])
```

---

### 2. Function Length Exceeds Threshold (BLOCKING - HIGH)
**Confidence**: 82% | **Impact**: Maintainability risk

- **Location**: `scoring.rs:214-275` (`compute_file_temporal_stats`)
- **Problem**: At 61 lines, the function crosses the 50-line warning threshold. Max nesting is 4 levels with two sequential loops (dedup, then accumulate).
- **Why it blocks**: The function exceeds the critical complexity guideline and would require additional extraction once it grows further.
- **Resolution**: Extract the per-commit deduplication pass into a helper function.

```rust
fn dedup_changed_files<'a>(
    commit: &CommitInfo,
    buf: &'a mut HashSet<String>,
) -> &'a HashSet<String> {
    buf.clear();
    for file in &commit.changed_files {
        let path_cow = file.path_str();
        let path_ref: &str = &path_cow;
        if !buf.contains(path_ref) {
            buf.insert(path_cow.into_owned());
        }
    }
    buf
}

// In compute_file_temporal_stats, reduce to ~48 lines
let dedup_files = dedup_changed_files(commit, &mut seen_in_commit);
for file_path in dedup_files {
    // ... accumulation loop
}
```

---

### 3. Migrations Not Atomic (BLOCKING - HIGH)
**Confidence**: 82% | **Impact**: Future crash-recovery risk

- **Location**: `storage.rs:97-128` (`run_migrations`)
- **Problem**: Migration DDL uses `execute_batch()` which is not transactional. If a CREATE TABLE fails partway through, the database state will be inconsistent (some tables created, user_version=0). While `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` makes this idempotent in v1, future migrations (v2+) with `ALTER TABLE` would leave the database unrecoverable.
- **Why it blocks**: This violates the reliability principle that every database operation is bounded and recoverable. The crash-recovery contract is implicit but important.
- **Resolution**: Wrap the migration block in an explicit `BEGIN/COMMIT` transaction.

```rust
if version < 1 {
    conn.execute_batch(
        "BEGIN;
         CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS hotspot ( ... );
         CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS risk ( ... );
         CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS cochange ( ... );
         CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS meta ( ... );
         PRAGMA user_version = 1;
         COMMIT;",
    )
    .map_err(db_err)?;
}
```

---

### 4. WAL Mode Activation Not Verified (BLOCKING - HIGH)
**Confidence**: 82% | **Impact**: Runtime correctness of concurrency model

- **Location**: `storage.rs:192` (`TemporalDb::open`)
- **Problem**: `PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL` is executed via `execute_batch()` which ignores the result set. If WAL fails to activate (read-only filesystem, NFS, immutable mode), SQLite silently falls back to DELETE mode. The code proceeds assuming WAL is active, but reader-writer contention and busy timeout behavior differ between modes.
- **Why it blocks**: The concurrency model documented in the feature knowledge and the actual runtime behavior could diverge silently, causing hard-to-debug contention issues in production.
- **Resolution**: Query the journal mode and verify it was set successfully.

```rust
let journal_mode: String = conn
    .query_row("PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL", [], |row| row.get(0))
    .map_err(db_err)?;
if journal_mode.to_lowercase() != "wal" {
    return Err(SearchError::Database(format!(
        "failed to enable WAL mode; journal_mode is '{journal_mode}'"
    )));
}
conn.execute_batch("PRAGMA synchronous=NORMAL;")
    .map_err(db_err)?;
```

---

### 5. Capacity-Exceeded Error Path Untested (BLOCKING - HIGH)
**Confidence**: 90% | **Impact**: Safety rail untested

- **Location**: `storage_ops.rs` capacity guards (4 methods)
- **Problem**: The `store_hotspots`, `store_risks`, `store_cochanges`, and `sync` methods all return `SearchError::CapacityExceeded` when input exceeds `MAX_ROWS_PER_TABLE=500,000`. **None of these branches have test coverage**. These are explicitly documented safety rails, yet the actual rejection behavior is never exercised.
- **Why it blocks**: Without test coverage, there is no assurance the capacity bounds actually work when needed. A regression could silently allow unbounded inserts.
- **Resolution**: Add tests for capacity rejection.

```rust
#[test]
fn store_hotspots_rejects_over_capacity() {
    let (_dir, db) = temp_db();
    let rows: Vec<HotspotRow> = (0..=500_000)
        .map(|n| HotspotRow {
            file_path: format!("{n}"),
            score: 0.0,
            changes_30d: 0,
            changes_90d: 0,
        })
        .collect();
    let err = db.store_hotspots(&rows).unwrap_err();
    assert!(matches!(err, SearchError::CapacityExceeded(_)));
}

#[test]
fn sync_replaces_on_second_call() {
    let (_dir, db) = temp_db();
    db.sync(&[hotspot_a], &[risk_a], &[cochange_a], "sha1").unwrap();
    db.sync(&[hotspot_b], &[risk_b], &[cochange_b], "sha2").unwrap();
    assert_eq!(db.load_hotspots().unwrap().len(), 1);
    assert_eq!(db.load_hotspots().unwrap()[0].file_path, "b.rs");
}
```

## Should-Fix Issues (Appear in Multiple Reviewers)

### 6. SAFETY Comments Inaccurate: TemporalDb Type Bounds (MEDIUM)
**Confidence**: 92% (Reliability) / 82% (Architecture) | **Impact**: Documentation accuracy

- **Locations**: `storage_ops.rs:107`, `storage_ops.rs:130`, `storage_ops.rs:323` + 1 more in Architecture
- **Problem**: Comments state "TemporalDb is not Send/Sync" but `rusqlite::Connection` is actually `Send` (confirmed in source: `unsafe impl Send for Connection {}`). The actual safety property is that `TemporalDb` is not `Sync`, preventing concurrent access to the same connection. If someone wraps `TemporalDb` in `Arc<Mutex<>>` later, the current comments provide false confidence.
- **Resolution**: Correct the comments to accurately state Send-but-not-Sync.

```rust
// SAFETY: `TemporalDb` is `Send` but not `Sync` — it can be moved
// to another thread but cannot be shared. Since `&self` methods cannot
// be called concurrently, no nested transaction can be active.
```

---

### 7. Magic Number `86_400.0` Duplicated (MEDIUM)
**Confidence**: 85% | **Impact**: Code clarity

- **Locations**: `scoring.rs:129`, `scoring.rs:233`
- **Problem**: The literal `86_400.0` (seconds per day) appears in both `compute_file_risk_scores` (pre-existing) and the new `compute_file_temporal_stats`. While most developers recognize it, duplication across two functions is a maintainability concern.
- **Resolution**: Extract to a named constant.

```rust
/// Seconds in one day, used for epoch-to-days conversion.
const SECS_PER_DAY: f64 = 86_400.0;
```

---

### 8. `db_err` Visibility vs Established Pattern (MEDIUM)
**Confidence**: 82% | **Impact**: Consistency

- **Location**: `storage.rs:66`
- **Problem**: The existing `gix_err` helper is private to its module; the new `db_err` uses `pub(super)`, exposing it to parent `temporal` scope. While this works because `storage_ops.rs` is a `#[path]` child, it deviates from the established pattern. The doc comment says "Private to this module" but the visibility is wider.
- **Resolution**: Either standardize on `pub(in crate::temporal::storage)` (most precise) or update the doc comment to acknowledge the `storage_ops` sub-module access.

---

### 9. String Allocations in Dedup Loop (MEDIUM)
**Confidence**: 82% | **Impact**: Performance in infrequent path

- **Location**: `scoring.rs:245-252`
- **Problem**: The `seen_in_commit: HashSet<String>` allocates a new String per unique file per commit via `into_owned()`, even though the path strings are already borrowed from `commit.changed_files`. For large repositories this produces O(commits × files) allocations.
- **Context**: The whole point of this feature is to cache these results, so this function runs infrequently. The borrow-first pattern for `accum` already minimizes the heavier allocation. This is a MEDIUM-priority optimization suggestion, not a correctness issue.
- **Resolution**: Consider using `HashSet<&str>` or a zero-allocation alternative like `HashSet<usize>` keyed on file index, but the current approach is defensible given the caching architecture.

---

### 10. Load Methods Have No Row-Count Guard (MEDIUM)
**Confidence**: 80% (Performance) / 80% (Rust) | **Impact**: Unbounded resource consumption

- **Locations**: `storage_ops.rs:183-201`, `storage_ops.rs:183-258`
- **Problem**: The `load_*` methods perform unbounded `SELECT` with `.collect::<Vec<_>>()`. Store methods enforce `MAX_ROWS_PER_TABLE=500,000`, but loads could allocate unbounded memory if the database is externally modified. This inconsistency violates the bounded-resources principle.
- **Resolution**: Add a `LIMIT` clause or post-load bounds check.

```rust
pub fn load_hotspots(&self) -> Result<Vec<HotspotRow>> {
    let mut stmt = self
        .conn
        .prepare("SELECT file_path, score, changes_30d, changes_90d FROM hotspot LIMIT 500001")
        .map_err(db_err)?;
    let rows = stmt
        .query_map([], |row| { /* ... */ })
        .map_err(db_err)?
        .collect::<std::result::Result<Vec<_>, _>>()
        .map_err(db_err)?;
    if rows.len() > MAX_ROWS_PER_TABLE {
        return Err(SearchError::CapacityExceeded(
            format!("load_hotspots: {} rows exceeds limit of {MAX_ROWS_PER_TABLE}", rows.len())
        ));
    }
    Ok(rows)
}
```

## Strengths (No Action Required)

- **Regression Analysis**: All 436 tests pass; no breakage. Pre-existing functions untouched.
- **Security**: SQL injection prevention solid (parameterized queries throughout). File permissions hardened to 0o600. No rusqlite types leak into public API.
- **Architecture**: Clean SRP separation across three files (connection, row types, CRUD). Dependencies point inward correctly. Error boundaries well-defined.
- **Database Design**: Atomic multi-table sync via single transaction. Forward-compatible schema versioning. Capacity bounds enforced. 5-second busy timeout appropriate.
- **Performance Fundamentals**: WAL mode + NORMAL synchronous is correct for write-heavy cache. `prepare_cached` used for batch operations. Borrow-first allocation patterns demonstrate care for low-frequency hot paths.

## Action Plan

**Before merge, address these in priority order:**

1. **Fix type mismatch** (u32 → `storage_types.rs`, i64::from at boundaries) — 15 min
2. **Fix migration atomicity** (wrap in BEGIN/COMMIT) — 5 min
3. **Verify WAL mode** (query_row check) — 10 min
4. **Add capacity tests** (2 test functions) — 20 min
5. **Extract function** (`dedup_changed_files` helper or magic number constant) — 10 min
6. **Fix SAFETY comments** (3 locations: Send not Send) — 5 min
7. **Add load bounds checks** (LIMIT clause or post-load guard) — 10 min

**Total estimated fix time: 75 minutes**

## Cross-Cycle Convergence

**Cycle 1** (2026-05-26_0958) resolved 13 issues: doc comments, DRY helpers, capacity guards, permission warnings, PRAGMA synchronous, error alignment, #[must_use] removal, overflow protection, allocation order, perf thresholds, redundant allows, #[non_exhaustive].

**Cycle 2** surfaced 13 new issues: 5 in critical paths (type mismatch, atomicity, WAL verification, testing gaps, function length), 8 in secondary concerns (safety docs, magic numbers, visibility, allocations, bounds). No cycle-1 regressions detected. Prior fixes are verified in the current branch.

---

## Recommendation Details

**CHANGES_REQUESTED** because:
- 5 HIGH-priority issues block merge (type safety, transaction safety, runtime verification, test coverage)
- 8 MEDIUM-priority issues should be fixed while code is in review context
- All issues are straightforward to resolve (no architectural rework required)
- Architecture and design are sound; fixing is mechanical

After addressing the 13 issues above, this PR will be **APPROVED** for merge.
