## Issues in Your Changes (BLOCKING)

### Issue 1: Missing JSDoc for new `DependencyHandlerOptions` interface
**Severity**: BLOCKING
**File**: `/workspace/delegate/src/services/handlers/dependency-handler.ts`
**Lines**: 28-32

The new `DependencyHandlerOptions` interface was added but has incomplete documentation. The interface itself has a brief TSDoc comment but lacks:
- `@since` tag indicating which version introduced it
- `@example` showing usage

**Current Code**:
```typescript
/** Options for DependencyHandler configuration */
export interface DependencyHandlerOptions {
  /** Maximum allowed depth for dependency chains (DoS prevention). Default: 100 */
  readonly maxChainDepth?: number;
}
```

**Recommended Fix**:
```typescript
/**
 * Options for DependencyHandler configuration
 * @since 0.3.2
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * const handler = await DependencyHandler.create(
 *   dependencyRepo,
 *   taskRepo,
 *   logger,
 *   eventBus,
 *   { maxChainDepth: 50 }
 * );
 * ```
 */
export interface DependencyHandlerOptions {
  /** Maximum allowed depth for dependency chains (DoS prevention). Default: 100 */
  readonly maxChainDepth?: number;
}
```

### Issue 2: Missing CHANGELOG entry for v0.3.2 changes
**Severity**: BLOCKING
**File**: `/workspace/delegate/CHANGELOG.md`
**Lines**: 7-9

The CHANGELOG shows `[Unreleased]` section with "*No unreleased changes at this time.*" but this branch introduces multiple changes that should be documented:
- Type safety improvements (DependencyRow, TaskRow interfaces)
- `getQueueStats()` replaced with `getQueueSize()`
- CHECK constraint on resolution column
- Configurable `MAX_DEPENDENCY_CHAIN_DEPTH`
- Documentation corrections

**Current Code**:
```markdown
## [Unreleased]

*No unreleased changes at this time.*
```

**Recommended Fix**: Add v0.3.2 section documenting all changes in this branch.

## Issues in Code You Touched (Should Fix)

### Issue 3: Factory method JSDoc does not document `options` parameter fully
**Severity**: HIGH
**File**: `/workspace/delegate/src/services/handlers/dependency-handler.ts`
**Lines**: 57-75

The `DependencyHandler.create()` factory method's JSDoc was updated to mention `options` parameter but does not document what happens when `options.maxChainDepth` is not provided (defaults to 100).

**Current Code**:
```typescript
/**
 * Factory method to create a fully initialized DependencyHandler
 * ...
 * @param options - Optional configuration (maxChainDepth, etc.)
 * @returns Result containing initialized handler or error
 */
static async create(
```

**Recommended Fix**:
```typescript
/**
 * Factory method to create a fully initialized DependencyHandler
 * ...
 * @param options - Optional configuration. If not provided, defaults are used:
 *   - `maxChainDepth`: 100 (see DEFAULT_MAX_DEPENDENCY_CHAIN_DEPTH)
 * @returns Result containing initialized handler or error
 */
```

---

### Issue 4: `getQueueSize()` method lacks JSDoc `@since` and `@see` tags
**Severity**: MEDIUM
**File**: `/workspace/delegate/src/services/handlers/queue-handler.ts`
**Lines**: 348-354

The replacement method `getQueueSize()` has good documentation but lacks version tagging and reference to the deprecated method it replaces.

**Current Code**:
```typescript
/**
 * Get queue size efficiently without copying task array
 * PERFORMANCE: Only returns count, not full task list
 */
getQueueSize(): number {
```

**Recommended Fix**:
```typescript
/**
 * Get queue size efficiently without copying task array
 * PERFORMANCE: Only returns count, not full task list
 * 
 * @since 0.3.2
 * @see getQueueStats - Deprecated method this replaces
 */
getQueueSize(): number {
```

---

### Issue 5: Database migration lacks version tracking in documentation
**Severity**: MEDIUM
**File**: `/workspace/delegate/src/implementations/database.ts`
**Lines**: 273-318

The new migration (version 2) adding CHECK constraint is well-documented in code comments but there's no corresponding documentation in `docs/architecture/` explaining the migration strategy or data safety guarantees.

**Location in code**:
```typescript
{
  version: 2,
  description: 'Add CHECK constraint on resolution column for defense-in-depth',
  up: (db) => {
    // SQLite doesn't support adding CHECK constraints to existing columns
    // So we recreate the table with the constraint
    // Pattern: Safe table migration with data preservation
```

**Recommendation**: Add a brief section to `docs/architecture/TASK_ARCHITECTURE.md` or a new migration guide documenting:
- Migration version 2 purpose
- Data preservation guarantees
- Rollback considerations

---

## Pre-existing Issues (Not Blocking)

### Issue 6: TASK_ARCHITECTURE.md still references hardcoded constant
**Severity**: LOW
**File**: `/workspace/delegate/docs/architecture/TASK_ARCHITECTURE.md`
**Lines**: 405

The documentation mentions `MAX_DEPENDENCY_CHAIN_DEPTH = 100` as if it's a hardcoded constant, but this branch makes it configurable. The documentation should clarify it's now the default value.

**Current Text**:
```markdown
**DoS Prevention**: Handler enforces `MAX_DEPENDENCY_CHAIN_DEPTH = 100` to prevent deep dependency chains...
```

**Recommended Fix**:
```markdown
**DoS Prevention**: Handler enforces max chain depth (default: 100, configurable via `DependencyHandlerOptions.maxChainDepth`) to prevent deep dependency chains...
```

---

### Issue 7: HANDLER-DECOMPOSITION-INVARIANTS.md references hardcoded constant
**Severity**: LOW
**File**: `/workspace/delegate/docs/architecture/HANDLER-DECOMPOSITION-INVARIANTS.md`
**Lines**: 120

Same issue as above - references `MAX_DEPENDENCY_CHAIN_DEPTH = 100` without noting configurability.

**Current Text**:
```markdown
- `MAX_DEPENDENCY_CHAIN_DEPTH = 100` - prevents DoS via deep chains
```

**Recommended Fix**:
```markdown
- `DEFAULT_MAX_DEPENDENCY_CHAIN_DEPTH = 100` (configurable) - prevents DoS via deep chains
```

---

### Issue 8: README roadmap does not mention v0.3.2
**Severity**: INFO
**File**: `/workspace/delegate/README.md`
**Lines**: 204-213

The roadmap section jumps from v0.3.0 to v0.3.1 to v0.4.0, with no mention of v0.3.2 or its focus on tech debt.

**Current Text**:
```markdown
- [x] v0.3.0 - Task dependency resolution
- [ ] v0.3.1 - Dependency performance optimizations
- [ ] v0.4.0 - Task resumption and scheduling
```

**Recommendation**: This is informational only - roadmap granularity is a project decision.

---

### Issue 9: Test file does not exercise `options` parameter
**Severity**: INFO
**File**: `/workspace/delegate/tests/unit/services/handlers/dependency-handler.test.ts`
**Lines**: 36-41, 61-66

The test file calls `DependencyHandler.create()` without passing `options`, so the new `maxChainDepth` configuration is not tested. While the default behavior is tested, explicit configuration testing would improve coverage.

**Current Test Code**:
```typescript
const handlerResult = await DependencyHandler.create(
  dependencyRepo,
  taskRepo,
  logger,
  eventBus
);
```

**Recommendation**: Add test case exercising custom `maxChainDepth` option.

---

## Summary

**Your Changes (BLOCKING)**:
- 2 BLOCKING issues (missing CHANGELOG, incomplete JSDoc)

**Code You Touched (Should Fix)**:
- 1 HIGH (factory method JSDoc incomplete)
- 2 MEDIUM (missing @since tags, migration docs)

**Pre-existing (Informational)**:
- 2 LOW (hardcoded constant references in docs)
- 2 INFO (roadmap, test coverage)

**Documentation Score**: 7/10

The code changes themselves are well-documented with inline comments explaining the "why" (PERFORMANCE, SECURITY, TYPE-SAFETY markers). The main gaps are:
1. Missing CHANGELOG updates for the release
2. Some JSDoc tags for version tracking
3. Minor doc references to now-configurable constants

**Merge Recommendation**: BLOCK

The PR should not be merged until:
1. CHANGELOG.md is updated with v0.3.2 changes
2. `DependencyHandlerOptions` interface has complete JSDoc with @since and @example

After these fixes: APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS (should-fix items addressed in follow-up or this PR)
