**Reviewers**: Architecture, Complexity, Consistency, Dependencies, Performance, Regression, Reliability, Rust, Security, Testing

---

## Merge Recommendation: CHANGES_REQUESTED

**Summary**: The PR is well-structured with strong decomposition and parallelization improvements, but has 5 HIGH-severity blocking issues that must be fixed before merge. The issues span reliability (unbounded recursion), consistency (missing clippy allow), testing (incomplete validation), performance (unnecessary allocations), and Rust patterns (stale diagnostic data). All are fixable within the current design.

## Blocking Issues (Must Fix Before Merge)

### HIGH Severity

**1. `walk_nodes` recursion has no depth bound** (Reliability + Rust)
- **Location**: `crates/rskim-bench/src/extract/mod.rs:90-111`
- **Confidence**: 85% (flagged by 2 reviewers)
- **Problem**: The recursive tree walk processes external git repository code with no depth limit. Pathologically nested source files could overflow the stack. Conflicts with project reliability guidelines: "Every loop, retry, and resource has an explicit bound."
- **Impact**: CRITICAL for untrusted input; HIGH for current known corpus.
- **Fix**: Add `depth: usize` parameter with `const MAX_DEPTH: usize = 256` check before recursion:
```rust
fn walk_nodes<F>(
    node: tree_sitter::Node<'_>,
    cursor: &mut tree_sitter::TreeCursor<'_>,
    bytes: &[u8],
    symbols: &mut Vec<ExtractedSymbol>,
    visit: &mut F,
    depth: usize,
) where
    F: FnMut(tree_sitter::Node<'_>, &[u8], &mut Vec<ExtractedSymbol>),
{
    const MAX_DEPTH: usize = 256;
    if depth >= MAX_DEPTH {
        return;
    }
    visit(node, bytes, symbols);
    if cursor.goto_first_child() {
        loop {
            let child = cursor.node();
            walk_nodes(child, cursor, bytes, symbols, visit, depth + 1);
            if !cursor.goto_next_sibling() {
                break;
            }
        }
        cursor.goto_parent();
    }
}
```

**2. Missing `#![allow(clippy::unwrap_used)]` in integration tests** (Consistency)
- **Location**: `crates/rskim-bench/tests/integration.rs:1`
- **Confidence**: 95%
- **Problem**: Crate denies `clippy::unwrap_used` globally, but integration test file has no allow annotation despite 19+ unwrap calls. Runs `cargo clippy -p rskim-bench --tests` will fail.
- **Fix**: Add at top of file:
```rust
#![allow(clippy::unwrap_used, clippy::expect_used)]
```

**3. `sweep_parameter` has 9 parameters** (Architecture + Complexity)
- **Location**: `crates/rskim-bench/src/tuning.rs:54`
- **Confidence**: 82-85% (flagged by 2 reviewers)
- **Problem**: Function accepts 9 arguments (exceeds 5-parameter cognitive threshold and triggers clippy suppression). Four arguments (`current`, `current_mrr`, `history`, `pass`) form a cohesive mutable state that is threaded identically through all call sites.
- **Fix**: Extract mutable state into a `SweepState` struct:
```rust
struct SweepState {
    current: BM25FConfig,
    current_mrr: f64,
    history: Vec<ConvergenceStep>,
    pass: usize,
}
```
Then `sweep_parameter` signature becomes: `&mut SweepState, param_name, candidates, get_value, make_candidate, evaluate` (6 params).

**4. `field_display_name` duplicates `SearchField` variant-to-string mapping** (Architecture)
- **Location**: `crates/rskim-bench/src/report.rs:32-43`
- **Confidence**: 85%
- **Problem**: Manually maps all 8 `SearchField` variants to PascalCase strings. `SearchField` already has a `name()` method and exhaustive match enforcement. Two locations must be updated when variants are added (tight coupling, DRY violation).
- **Fix**: Prefer (a) add `display_name()` method to `SearchField` in `rskim-search` crate (single source of truth) or (b) derive PascalCase programmatically from `SearchField::name()` in bench crate.

**5. `aggregate_results` only validates train_metrics, not test_metrics** (Testing)
- **Location**: `crates/rskim-bench/src/harness.rs:191-209`
- **Confidence**: 85%
- **Problem**: Validation checks that all repos share same config names in `train_metrics` (lines 192-209), but ignores `test_metrics`. Mismatched test config names would silently produce incorrect results. Integration test only covers train mismatch, not test mismatch.
- **Fix**: Either (a) validate both metrics or (b) add test documenting intentional asymmetry and verifying `macro_average` tolerates mismatches gracefully.

## Should-Fix Issues (Recommended Before Merge)

### MEDIUM Severity (Category 2: Code You Touched)

**1. `from_value` records stale value across multi-step sweeps** (Rust)
- **Location**: `crates/rskim-bench/src/tuning.rs:67`
- **Confidence**: 82%
- **Problem**: `from_value` captured once at sweep start. If later candidates improve, their history entries show original `from_value` rather than intermediate values. Diagnostic trace is misleading.
- **Fix**: Capture `from_value` just before mutation:
```rust
if candidate_mrr > *current_mrr {
    let from_value = get_value(current) as f64;  // capture here, not at sweep start
    // ... push to history ...
}
```

**2. PathBuf cloned in every node visitor** (Performance)
- **Location**: `crates/rskim-bench/src/extract/{go,python,rust_lang}.rs`
- **Confidence**: 85%
- **Problem**: Each language extractor clones `PathBuf` on every symbol push (inside closure on every node). Creates one heap allocation per extracted symbol. Refactoring traded correctness for allocations.
- **Fix**: Use `Arc<PathBuf>` once before closure:
```rust
let path = std::sync::Arc::new(path.to_path_buf());
super::walk_ast(content, language, move |node, bytes, symbols| {
    // path.clone() is now Rc bump, not heap alloc
```

**3. `run_tune` ID reassignment silently drops files** (Reliability)
- **Location**: `crates/rskim-bench/src/main.rs:360-372`
- **Confidence**: 83%
- **Problem**: If `lr.contents.remove(&old_id)` returns `None`, the file still gets pushed with no content (silent data integrity violation). Downstream code treats missing content as empty string.
- **Fix**: Assert or debug_assert that removal succeeds:
```rust
if let Some(content) = lr.contents.remove(&old_id) {
    all_contents.insert(FileId(global_id), content);
} else {
    debug_assert!(false, "FileId {old_id:?} has no content");
}
```

**4. Unused import `SearchField` in test module** (Consistency)
- **Location**: `crates/rskim-bench/src/report.rs:146`
- **Confidence**: 95%
- **Problem**: Test imports `SearchField` but only uses `FIELD_COUNT`. Triggers compiler warning.
- **Fix**: Remove `SearchField` from import:
```rust
use rskim_search::FIELD_COUNT;
```

**5. Inconsistent `#[allow(clippy::unwrap_used)]` comment style** (Consistency)
- **Location**: `crates/rskim-bench/src/extract/{go,python,rust_lang}.rs`
- **Confidence**: 85%
- **Problem**: Most modules got comment suffix (`// test code — unwrap acceptable`) but extract modules still use bare annotation. Inconsistent within same PR.
- **Fix**: Add comment suffix to all three modules.

---

## Should-Address (Category 2 & 3: Pre-existing Context)

### MEDIUM Severity

**1. `run_tune` is 118 lines, approaching maintainability threshold** (Complexity)
- **Location**: `crates/rskim-bench/src/main.rs:339-457`
- **Confidence**: 82%
- **Problem**: Handles 7 distinct responsibilities. While not blocking (under 200), could be further decomposed.
- **Suggestion**: Extract ID reassignment loop into `merge_loaded_repos` helper to bring main function below 100 lines.

**2. `top_two_boost_fields` assumes FIELD_COUNT >= 2 without assertion** (Reliability)
- **Location**: `crates/rskim-bench/src/tuning.rs:200-205`
- **Confidence**: 80%
- **Problem**: Unconditionally indexes `indexed[0].1` and `indexed[1].1` without checking `FIELD_COUNT >= 2`. If external constant changes, would panic at runtime.
- **Fix**: Add compile-time assertion:
```rust
const _: () = assert!(FIELD_COUNT >= 2, "FIELD_COUNT must be >= 2");
```

**3. No direct test coverage for `load_repo_files`, `build_index`, `make_train_qrels`** (Testing)
- **Location**: `crates/rskim-bench/src/main.rs:179-337`
- **Confidence**: 82%/80%
- **Problem**: Newly extracted helpers contain logic (sorting, overflow guard, qrel filtering) that is only tested indirectly through integration tests. Overflow path completely untested.
- **Suggestion**: Add unit tests using mock `FileSource` to verify sorting, ID assignment, and error paths.

**4. `file_id_assignment_deterministic_when_sorted` re-implements production logic** (Testing)
- **Location**: `crates/rskim-bench/tests/integration.rs:206-246`
- **Confidence**: 82%
- **Problem**: Test duplicates the ID assignment algorithm instead of calling actual production function. If production logic changes, test stays green with old logic.
- **Fix**: Call real `load_repo_files` function or whichever public API assigns IDs.

---

## Informational (Lower Confidence, Pre-existing)

- **`walk_ast_with_parser` is dead code** (Rust): Declared `pub(crate)` but only called internally via `walk_ast`. Consider making private or adding test that exercises it.
- **`main.rs` is 520 lines** (Complexity): Exceeds 500-line warning threshold. Consider splitting into `cli.rs` + `main.rs` in future PR.
- **CLI flag renamed from `--output` to `--format`** (Regression): Breaking change for internal crate. Acceptable since crate is unpublished, but documented for record.
- **Sequential ID reassignment may be inefficient for large corpora** (Performance): Acceptable for current corpus size.

---

## Positive Observations

1. **Well-decomposed architecture**: `walk_ast` helper eliminates 3x boilerplate across language extractors. New helpers (`load_repo_files`, `build_index`, `make_train_qrels`) cleanly separate concerns.

2. **Strong dependency management**: Minimal changes (rayon added via workspace, tempfile correctly moved from dev to production). No new external crates. All declared deps are verified in use.

3. **Excellent test suite**: 92 tests passing, 3 solid new integration tests added, strong validation guards in `aggregate_results`, mutation tracking with `eval_error_count`.

4. **Performance improvements**: Single-reader pattern (eliminate per-config index open), parallel repo processing with rayon, parallel file I/O, `QrelInput` borrowing, fixed-size arrays instead of vecs.

5. **Consistent refactoring**: FIELD_COUNT constant adoption, OutputFormat enum typing, consistent error handling pattern with `anyhow::Result`, DIP improvements (trait objects, dependency injection).

6. **Proper parallelism**: `run_bench` par_iter with isolated indexes, `run_tune` parallel loads + sequential ID reassignment (correct approach for avoiding collisions).

## Action Plan

### Before Merge (Blocking)

1. **Add depth bound to `walk_nodes`** — fixes unbounded recursion
2. **Add clippy allow to integration tests** — fixes clippy failure
3. **Extract `SweepState` struct from `sweep_parameter`** — fixes 9-parameter issue
4. **Consolidate `field_display_name` mapping** — fixes DRY violation
5. **Validate both train and test metrics in `aggregate_results`** — fixes test coverage gap

### Recommended (Should-Fix)

1. Capture `from_value` inside improvement branch — fixes diagnostic accuracy
2. Use `Arc<PathBuf>` for path clones — fixes unnecessary allocations
3. Debug assert for ID reassignment — prevents silent data loss
4. Remove unused import — fixes warning
5. Add comment suffixes to extract modules — fixes consistency

### Future (Informational)

1. Split `main.rs` into `cli.rs` + dispatch
2. Add direct unit tests for extracted helpers
3. Make `walk_ast_with_parser` private or add `#[cfg(test)]` test
4. Consider depth guard for `find_last_identifier` (same pattern)

## Summary

The PR delivers significant value: new BM25F tuning harness with proper parallelization, strong test coverage, and thoughtful refactoring. The 5 HIGH-severity blocking issues are all straightforward fixes within the existing design. Once addressed, this will be a high-quality merge that meaningfully improves the benchmark infrastructure.

**Confidence in recommendation**: 95% — blocking issues are well-understood, fixable, and do not require architectural changes.
