## 🔴 Blocking Issues (Must Fix Before Merge)

Issues introduced in lines you added or modified:

### Security (CRITICAL: 1, HIGH: 2, MEDIUM: 2)

**CRITICAL - Graph-Database Desynchronization** (`dependency-repository.ts:284`)
- Graph updated INSIDE database transaction
- If transaction rolls back, graph retains edge but database doesn't
- Allows bypass of DAG cycle detection → deadlocks in production
- **Fix**: Move `graph.addEdge()` calls AFTER transaction commits

**HIGH - Missing Input Validation** (`dependency-graph.ts:77, 96, 127`)
- New methods `addEdge`, `removeEdge`, `removeTask` accept null/undefined
- No validation of TaskId parameters
- Can corrupt graph with invalid nodes
- **Fix**: Add `validateTaskId()` method to all public methods

**HIGH - No Validation After Updates** (`dependency-repository.ts:284, 592`)
- No check that graph matches database state
- Over time, bugs could cause silent drift
- **Fix**: Add periodic consistency validation

**MEDIUM - Race Condition in Initialization** (`dependency-repository.ts:104-106`)
- Graph reads all dependencies without transaction lock
- TOCTOU window during initialization
- **Fix**: Wrap initialization in transaction

**MEDIUM - No Rollback Handling** (`dependency-repository.ts:592`)
- `graph.removeTask()` called even if delete fails
- **Fix**: Only update graph when database operation succeeds

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

**HIGH - Event-Driven Architecture Violation** (`dependency-repository.ts:284`)
- Repository directly mutates graph without emitting events
- Violates pure event-driven architecture documented in project
- Creates duplicate graph ownership (repository + handler)
- **Fix**: Remove graph from repository, move to DependencyHandler

**HIGH - Duplicate Graph State Ownership** (`dependency-repository.ts:38`)
- Both repository and DependencyHandler own graph instances
- Two independent sources of truth will diverge
- **Fix**: Single graph ownership in DependencyHandler only

**MEDIUM - Cycle Detection in Wrong Layer** (`dependency-repository.ts:235`)
- Business logic (cycle detection) in repository (data layer)
- Violates separation of concerns
- **Fix**: Move cycle detection to DependencyHandler

### Performance (HIGH: 1, MEDIUM: 1)

**HIGH - Memory Leak in removeEdge()** (`dependency-graph.ts:96-111`)
- Deletes from Sets but never cleans up empty Map entries
- Empty Set objects accumulate indefinitely
- **Fix**: Add cleanup: `if (deps.size === 0) this.graph.delete(taskIdStr)`

**MEDIUM - Same Leak in removeTask()** (`dependency-graph.ts:127-153`)
- Should apply same empty Set cleanup pattern
- **Fix**: Apply same cleanup as above

### Tests (HIGH: 3)

**HIGH - Missing Graph Synchronization Tests** (`tests/unit/`)
- No tests for transaction rollback → graph consistency
- No tests for initialization failure handling
- Critical gap for production reliability
- **Fix**: Add transaction failure tests (30 min)

**HIGH - Obsolete Cache Invalidation Tests** (`tests/unit/dependency-repository.test.ts`)
- Tests still check for `cachedGraph` which no longer exists
- False confidence - tests pass but validate wrong behavior
- **Fix**: Update to verify incremental updates (15 min)

**HIGH - Missing Empty Set Cleanup Tests** (`tests/unit/dependency-graph.test.ts`)
- No test verifies memory leak fix
- **Fix**: Add test for empty Set cleanup (20 min)

### Database (CRITICAL: 1, HIGH: 1, MEDIUM: 1)

**CRITICAL - Graph Sync Race Condition** (`dependency-repository.ts:284`)
- Same as Security CRITICAL above
- Graph updated before transaction commits
- **Fix**: Update graph AFTER commit only

**HIGH - Inconsistent Graph Update in deleteDependencies** (`dependency-repository.ts:592`)
- `removeTask()` removes entire task node
- SQL only deletes edges, task still exists in database
- Creates graph-database divergence
- **Fix**: Use `removeEdge()` for each dependency instead

**MEDIUM - Synchronous Initialization** (`dependency-repository.ts:102-106`)
- Constructor loads all dependencies synchronously
- Blocks event loop with large databases
- No error handling for failures
- **Fix**: Use lazy initialization or document assumptions

## ⚠️ Issues in Code You Touched (Should Fix While You're Here)

Issues in code you modified but didn't create:

### Security (HIGH: 2, MEDIUM: 1)
- HIGH: No atomicity in removeTask (7 operations without transaction)
- HIGH: Breaks immutability contract (readonly field holds mutable object)
- MEDIUM: No consistency validation mechanism

### Architecture (MEDIUM: 2, LOW: 1)
- MEDIUM: Missing error handling for graph mutations (void methods can't report errors)
- MEDIUM: Synchronous DB I/O in constructor (can't return errors)
- LOW: Documentation claims ARCHITECTURE but contradicts documented patterns

### Performance (MEDIUM: 1, LOW: 1)
- MEDIUM: Redundant empty Sets in constructor (50-100 bytes per task)
- LOW: Full table scan on startup (10-50ms for 10K deps)

### Tests (MEDIUM: 1)
- MEDIUM: Test suite lacks overview documentation (5 min fix)

### TypeScript (HIGH: 1, MEDIUM: 1)
- HIGH: Unsafe 'any' in database row mapping (affects initialization)

## 🎯 Action Plan - Priority Order

### CRITICAL (Must Fix Immediately)

**1. Move graph updates OUTSIDE transactions** (30 min)
   - File: `src/implementations/dependency-repository.ts:284, 592`
   - Problem: Graph updated before commit → desynchronization on rollback
   - Fix: Update graph only after successful transaction commit
   ```typescript
   const result = tryCatch(() => transaction());
   if (result.ok) {
     for (const dep of deps) {
       this.graph.addEdge(dep.taskId, dep.dependsOnTaskId);
     }
   }
   ```

**2. Fix deleteDependencies graph logic** (20 min)
   - File: `src/implementations/dependency-repository.ts:592`
   - Problem: `removeTask()` removes node, but task still exists
   - Fix: Use `removeEdge()` for each dependency instead

**3. Add input validation to graph methods** (25 min)
   - File: `src/core/dependency-graph.ts:77, 96, 127`
   - Problem: Accept null/undefined without validation
   - Fix: Add `validateTaskId()` helper and call in all public methods

### HIGH (Must Fix Before Merge)

**4. Fix memory leak in removeEdge/removeTask** (15 min)
   - File: `src/core/dependency-graph.ts:96-111, 127-153`
   - Add empty Set cleanup: `if (deps.size === 0) this.graph.delete(taskIdStr)`

**5. Add transaction failure tests** (30 min)
   - File: `tests/unit/implementations/dependency-repository.test.ts`
   - Test graph rollback when transaction fails
   - Test initialization failure handling

**6. Update obsolete cache tests** (15 min)
   - File: `tests/unit/implementations/dependency-repository.test.ts`
   - Remove or rewrite tests checking `cachedGraph`
   - Verify incremental updates instead

**7. Wrap initialization in transaction** (10 min)
   - File: `src/implementations/dependency-repository.ts:104-106`
   - Ensure snapshot isolation during initialization

### MEDIUM (Should Fix Before Merge)

**8. Architecture violation: Remove graph from repository** (2-4 hours)
   - Move graph ownership to DependencyHandler
   - Handler updates graph on events
   - Repository becomes pure data layer
   - **NOTE**: This is the "correct" fix but requires significant refactoring

**OR: Document architecture exception** (5 min)
   - Add comment explaining performance trade-off
   - Acknowledge violation of event-driven architecture
   - Justify with 70-80% latency reduction

**9. Add graph/DB sync integration tests** (30 min)
   - Verify graph matches database across multiple operations

**10. Add test suite overview comment** (5 min)
   - File: `tests/unit/core/dependency-graph.test.ts:609`
   - Explain what incremental updates are and why they exist

## 💡 What You Did Well

**Excellent work on**:
- ✅ Clean, well-documented code
- ✅ Comprehensive test coverage (18 new tests, 282 lines)
- ✅ Strong performance improvement (70-80% latency reduction)
- ✅ Good use of Result types and branded types
- ✅ Low cyclomatic complexity (all methods ≤ 5)
- ✅ Clear JSDoc with examples and rationale
- ✅ Optimal algorithm design (O(1) incremental updates)

**The performance optimization is sound** - the issues are in integration with existing architecture (transactions, events) rather than the core graph logic itself.

---

## 🚨 Critical Decision Required

You have two paths forward:

### Option A: Quick Fix (4-6 hours)
- Fix CRITICAL transaction issue
- Add input validation
- Fix memory leaks
- Add missing tests
- Document architecture exception
- **Result**: Functional but violates architecture principles

### Option B: Correct Fix (1-2 days)
- All of Option A, PLUS:
- Refactor to move graph to DependencyHandler
- Implement event-driven incremental updates
- Maintain same performance benefits
- **Result**: Functional AND architecturally correct

**Recommendation**: Option A now, Option B in follow-up PR if time permits.

---

## 💭 Next Steps

**Immediate**:
1. Fix the 3 CRITICAL issues (transaction sync, input validation, database sync)
2. Fix the 4 HIGH priority issues (memory leaks, tests)
3. Re-run `/code-review` to verify fixes

**Before creating PR**:
4. Run full test suite: `npm test`
5. Verify CI passes
6. Add release notes mentioning breaking architecture change

**After PR created**:
7. File bug report for wouldCreateCycle shallow copy issue
8. Consider scheduling Option B refactor for next sprint
