## Issues in Your Changes (BLOCKING)

Issues introduced in lines you added or modified:

### Security (CRITICAL: 0, HIGH: 1, MEDIUM: 1)

| Severity | Issue | Location |
|----------|-------|----------|
| **HIGH** | Missing dependency chain depth validation (DoS vulnerability) | `dependency-handler.ts:102-137` |
| MEDIUM | Graph-database synchronization gap on delete operations | `dependency-repository.ts:531-546` |

**Details**: The refactoring removed `MAX_DEPENDENCY_CHAIN_DEPTH` validation from the repository but did not add equivalent validation to the handler. An attacker could create chains of 1000+ tasks causing stack overflow or CPU exhaustion.

### Performance (CRITICAL: 0, HIGH: 0, MEDIUM: 1)

| Severity | Issue | Location |
|----------|-------|----------|
| MEDIUM | Missing depth validation migration | `dependency-handler.ts` |

**Note**: Core performance optimization is sound - 70-80% latency reduction verified.

### Architecture (HIGH: 0, MEDIUM: 2)

| Severity | Issue | Location |
|----------|-------|----------|
| MEDIUM | Depth validation removed but not moved to handler | `dependency-repository.ts:219-221` |
| LOW | Dead code - `MAX_DEPENDENCY_CHAIN_DEPTH` constant unused | `dependency-repository.ts:17-18` |

### Tests (HIGH: 0, MEDIUM: 2)

| Severity | Issue | Location |
|----------|-------|----------|
| MEDIUM | Missing input validation tests for `addEdge()` | `dependency-graph.test.ts` |
| MEDIUM | Missing input validation tests for `removeEdge()`/`removeTask()` | `dependency-graph.test.ts` |

### Complexity (HIGH: 0)

No blocking issues. Complexity is justified for performance gains.

### Dependencies (HIGH: 0, MEDIUM: 1)

| Severity | Issue | Location |
|----------|-------|----------|
| MEDIUM | Broken `validate` script (calls blocked `npm test`) | `package.json:51` |

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

| Severity | Issue | Location |
|----------|-------|----------|
| **HIGH** | CLAUDE.md Release Process uses blocked `npm test` | `CLAUDE.md` |
| MEDIUM | Version mismatch - docs say v0.3.2+ but package.json is 0.3.0 | `CLAUDE.md` |

### TypeScript (HIGH: 0)

No blocking issues. Type safety is maintained.

## Should Fix While You're Here

Issues in code you touched (from each audit):

- Security: 1 issue (TOCTOU window in cycle detection)
- Performance: 2 issues (graph cleanup, N+1 pattern)
- Architecture: 2 issues (missing TaskDeleted event, batch failure event)
- Tests: 2 issues (input validation tests, timing sensitivity)
- Complexity: 3 issues (all justified for performance)
- Documentation: 5 issues (stale architecture docs, unverified perf claims)
- TypeScript: 3 issues (definite assignment, throw vs Result)

See individual audit reports for details.

## Pre-existing Issues Found

Issues unrelated to your changes:

- Security: 0 pre-existing issues
- Performance: 2 pre-existing issues (N+1 pattern, shallow copy in wouldCreateCycle)
- Architecture: 2 pre-existing issues (race condition window, test timing)
- Tests: 2 pre-existing issues
- Complexity: 2 pre-existing issues
- Dependencies: 12 pre-existing issues (2 vulnerabilities, 10 outdated packages)
- Documentation: 3 pre-existing issues

Consider fixing in separate PRs.

## Action Plan

**Before Merge (Priority Order):**

1. **Fix CLAUDE.md Release Process** (HIGH - Documentation)
   - File: `CLAUDE.md`
   - Fix: Change `npm test` to `npm run test:all` in release process section

2. **Add depth validation to handler** (HIGH - Security)
   - File: `src/services/handlers/dependency-handler.ts:102-137`
   - Fix: Add `MAX_DEPENDENCY_CHAIN_DEPTH` check using `graph.getMaxDepth()` before persisting dependencies

3. **Fix validate script** (MEDIUM - Dependencies)
   - File: `package.json:51`
   - Fix: Change `"validate": "npm run typecheck && npm run build && npm test"` to use `npm run test:all`

**While You're Here (Optional):**
- Remove unused `MAX_DEPENDENCY_CHAIN_DEPTH` constant from repository
- Add input validation error path tests
- Update architecture docs post-merge

**Future Work:**
- Create issues for pre-existing problems
- Address 2 security vulnerabilities in dev dependencies
- Update outdated packages

## Next Steps

**Fix 2 HIGH priority issues then re-run `/code-review` to verify**

After fixing:
1. Run `/commit` to create final commits
2. Run `/pull-request` to create PR with this review as reference
