## Critical Issues
_None._

## Major Issues

- [x] **[OBS]** `call_hierarchy_prepare` / `call_hierarchy_incoming` / `call_hierarchy_outgoing` log at `tracing::debug!` rather than `tracing::info!` — it is consistent with the LSP definition log level for its own protocol logging, but the **start** of the `analyze_impact` and `read_with_deep_context` tools is logged at `info!`, and the LSP logs should emit at the same level so they appear in production traces without enabling debug output. — [client/mod.rs:361-405](file:///home/irahardianto/works/projects/pathfinder/crates/pathfinder-lsp/src/client/mod.rs#L361)
  - **Resolved:** Promoted `debug!` → `info!` for all three call hierarchy completion logs.

- [x] **[ERR]** In `analyze_impact_impl` (navigation.rs L424-427), `call_hierarchy_incoming` errors during BFS traversal are silently swallowed — the loop uses `if let Ok(calls) = self.lawyer.call_hierarchy_incoming(...).await` and skips any error. A transient LSP error (timeout, crash) will silently produce an incomplete impact graph. The error should be logged at `warn!` so operators can distinguish "no callers found" from "LSP timed out while searching callers". Same pattern applies to `call_hierarchy_outgoing` in the BFS outgoing loop (L462-465). — [navigation.rs:424-486](file:///home/irahardianto/works/projects/pathfinder/crates/pathfinder/src/server/tools/navigation.rs#L424)
  - **Resolved:** Replaced `if let Ok(...)` with `match` blocks that emit `warn!` on BFS LSP errors for both incoming and outgoing loops.

---

## Minor Issues

- [x] **[PAT]** In `repo_map.rs` (`generate_skeleton_text`), the `files_in_scope` counter is incremented unconditionally for every non-directory entry before language detection — including non-source files like `README.md`, `Cargo.lock`, `Makefile`. This inflates the denominator of `coverage_percent`, making it lower than expected (e.g., 40% instead of 80%). The intent is clearly "files that Pathfinder could potentially map" but it conflates "file in directory" with "file in language scope". The counter should only count files of supported languages (post-`SupportedLanguage::detect`), matching the `files_scanned` logic. — [repo_map.rs:216-270](file:///home/irahardianto/works/projects/pathfinder/crates/pathfinder-treesitter/src/repo_map.rs#L216)
  - **Resolved:** Already fixed — counter is at line 225 (after language detection at line 220) in current codebase.

---

## Nit

- [x] The `_workspace_root` field in `sandbox.rs` (`Sandbox` struct) has a leading underscore to suppress the unused-field warning. The field is never read after construction. If no plans exist to use it, it should be removed. If it is a planned future reference (e.g., for resolving `.pathfinderignore` relative paths), add a `// KEEP: needed for ...` comment. — [sandbox.rs:50](file:///home/irahardianto/works/projects/pathfinder/crates/pathfinder-common/src/sandbox.rs#L50)
  - **Resolved:** Already has `// KEEP:` comment at lines 50-52 explaining the future use.

## Positive Observations (Not Issues)

The following patterns were notably well implemented in this delta and serve as good baselines:

1. **Testability boundary**: The `Lawyer` trait / `MockLawyer` / `NoOpLawyer` triad is a textbook I/O abstraction. All navigation tools have unit tests exercising both the LSP-success path and the degraded-mode path — fully exercisable without a real language server.

2. **BFS cycle prevention**: Both `analyze_impact_impl` BFS loops use `HashSet` deduplication keyed on `(file, line)` — prevents infinite loops when call graphs have cycles, which is the correct approach.

3. **Diagnostic diffing multiset logic**: `diff_diagnostics` in `diagnostics.rs` correctly implements a multiset difference (not a set difference) with proper excess-counting, plus position-agnostic keying. The test coverage (7 cases) is thorough.

4. **Sandbox exact-match guards**: The `is_additional_denied` fix (bare-word→filename-only match, directory→boundary match) correctly closes the substring overmatch vulnerability identified in Audit 0026-F1.

5. **Crash recovery / exponential backoff**: `start_process` in `client/mod.rs` implements PRD §6.3 crash recovery (3 retries, 1s→2s→4s backoff) with correct `Unavailable` state promotion — no flapping possible.

6. **`#[expect]` over `#[allow]`**: All lint suppressions in the new code use `#[expect(clippy::too_many_lines, reason = "...")]` with explicit justifications, in compliance with the post-audit-0026 standard.

## Verification Results

| Check | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` | ✅ PASS | 0 warnings |
| `cargo fmt --check` | ✅ PASS | No formatting issues |
| `cargo test --all` | ✅ PASS | **278 tests**, 0 failed |

## Rules Applied

- `security-mandate.md` — no security issues found
- `architectural-pattern.md` — testability boundaries excellent; I/O behind `Lawyer` trait
- `logging-and-observability-mandate.md` — two logging level concerns identified (Major, Nit)
- `error-handling-principles.md` — silent BFS error swallow identified (Major)
- `rust-idioms-and-patterns.md` — idiomatic throughout; `?` propagation, typed errors
- `code-organization-principles.md` — `files_in_scope` counter semantic mismatch identified (Minor)
- `rugged-software-constitution.md` — no violations found; defensive coding patterns present

## Feedback Loop

| Finding | Type | Recommended Next Action |
|---|---|---|
| BFS error swallow in `analyze_impact_impl` | Small isolated fix | `/quick-fix` — add `warn!` logs on BFS LSP errors |
| Call hierarchy LSP log levels | Small isolated fix | `/quick-fix` — promote `debug!` to `info!` in `client/mod.rs` |
| `files_in_scope` counting semantics | Minor tech debt | Fix in place (single-line change to `repo_map.rs`) |
| `_workspace_root` unused field | Nit | Fix in place (remove or add comment) |
