## 🚦 Merge Recommendation

⚠️ **REVIEW REQUIRED** - 6 issues need attention before merge

**Confidence**: HIGH

**Summary**: The code demonstrates excellent security engineering and comprehensive testing. However, there are 6 issues that should be addressed:
- 3 BLOCKING issues (architecture, tests, documentation)
- 1 HIGH priority performance issue
- 2 MEDIUM priority issues (complexity, documentation)

All issues are straightforward to fix (~30 minutes total effort).

## 🔴 Blocking Issues (Must Fix Before Merge)

Issues introduced in your changes that **must** be fixed:

### Architecture (CRITICAL: 1, HIGH: 2)

**1. CRITICAL: Unused `visited` variable in getMaxDepth()**
- **File**: `src/core/dependency-graph.ts:378`
- **Issue**: Dead code - `visited` Set is created but never used
- **Fix**: Remove line 378 (`const visited = new Set<string>();`)
- **Impact**: Wastes memory, suggests incomplete refactoring
- **Effort**: 10 seconds

**2. HIGH: Redundant cycle detection in getMaxDepth()**
- **File**: `src/core/dependency-graph.ts:385-388`
- **Issue**: Silently returns 0 instead of using Result pattern to signal error
- **Fix**: Either remove defensive cycle check (callers validate) OR return proper error via Result
- **Impact**: Violates Result pattern, creates dead error handling code
- **Effort**: 2 minutes

**3. HIGH: Magic numbers (100) hardcoded instead of constants**
- **File**: `src/implementations/dependency-repository.ts:253, 277, 349, 191`
- **Issue**: Limit `100` appears 4 times without named constant
- **Fix**: Extract to `private static readonly MAX_DEPENDENCIES_PER_TASK = 100;`
- **Impact**: Violates DRY, reduces configurability
- **Effort**: 5 minutes

### Tests (BLOCKING: 2)

**4. BLOCKING: Flaky performance test**
- **File**: `tests/unit/core/dependency-graph.test.ts:627`
- **Issue**: `expect(endTime - startTime).toBeLessThan(10)` will fail in CI/slow machines
- **Fix**: Remove timeout assertion or move to separate benchmark suite
- **Impact**: Will cause random CI failures
- **Effort**: 1 minute

**5. BLOCKING: Result pattern inconsistency**
- **File**: `src/core/dependency-graph.ts:375` + `src/implementations/dependency-repository.ts:342-345`
- **Issue**: `getMaxDepth()` returns `Result<number>` but never returns errors, creates dead code
- **Fix**: Either add error cases + tests OR change return type to `number`
- **Impact**: Dead error handling code, unclear API contract
- **Effort**: 5 minutes

### Documentation (BLOCKING: 1)

**6. BLOCKING: CHANGELOG missing version header**
- **File**: `CHANGELOG.md:7`
- **Issue**: Still says `## [Unreleased]`, should be `## [0.3.1] - 2025-11-17`
- **Fix**: Update header to match release version
- **Impact**: Per project guidelines, release notes must match package.json
- **Effort**: 10 seconds

---

## ⚠️ High Priority Issues (Should Fix)

**Performance - Quadratic Depth Validation Loop**
- **File**: `src/implementations/dependency-repository.ts:340-356`
- **Issue**: Calls `getMaxDepth()` inside loop (up to 100 times) instead of calculating once
- **Fix**: Move `getMaxDepth()` outside the loop, calculate max depth once for all dependencies
- **Impact**: O(N * (V+E)) instead of O(V+E) - makes batch 100x slower for max batch
- **Effort**: 5 minutes

## 🎯 Action Plan

**Fix these 6 issues before merge** (~30 minutes total):

### 1. Remove dead code (10 seconds)
```typescript
// src/core/dependency-graph.ts:378
// DELETE this line:
const visited = new Set<string>();
```

### 2. Fix cycle detection (2 minutes)
```typescript
// src/core/dependency-graph.ts:384-388
// OPTION A: Remove defensive check (callers validate)
// DELETE lines 384-388

// OPTION B: Return proper error
if (currentPath.has(node)) {
  return err(new DelegateError(ErrorCode.INVALID_OPERATION, 'Cycle detected'));
}
```

### 3. Extract magic numbers (5 minutes)
```typescript
// src/implementations/dependency-repository.ts (top of class)
private static readonly MAX_DEPENDENCIES_PER_TASK = 100;
private static readonly MAX_DEPENDENCY_CHAIN_DEPTH = 100;

// Replace all occurrences of 100 with these constants
```

### 4. Fix flaky test (1 minute)
```typescript
// tests/unit/core/dependency-graph.test.ts:619-628
// DELETE lines 620-622 (startTime, endTime, expect timing)
// OR move to separate benchmark file
```

### 5. Fix Result pattern (5 minutes)
```typescript
// OPTION A: Change return type to number
getMaxDepth(taskId: TaskId): number {
  // Remove Result wrapper
}

// OPTION B: Add proper error handling + tests
// Add test case for cycle scenario
// Return err() when cycle detected
```

### 6. Update CHANGELOG header (10 seconds)
```markdown
## [0.3.1] - 2025-11-17
```

### 7. OPTIONAL: Fix quadratic loop (5 minutes)
```typescript
// src/implementations/dependency-repository.ts:326-356
// Move depth checks OUTSIDE the loop:
// 1. Find max depth among all dependsOn tasks
// 2. Check once: if (1 + maxDepth > 100) throw error
```
