# Atelier — Final Review + Audit (P7)
> Final phase review and audit for milestone v0.1. Conducted before milestone ship.
## Review (Multi-Persona, across all phases)
### Structural Review
- **All 64 MANIFEST-listed documents exist:** ✓
- 3 core, 11 domain first-principles, 27 derived, 2 matrix, 3 review, 4 good examples, 3 bad examples, 4 languages, 5 meta (README, LICENSE, CHANGELOG, CONTRIBUTING, MANIFEST)
- **No unlisted docs:** the framework tree contains only docs in the manifest (plus `.ciagent/` governance, which is meta, not framework content).
### Behavioral Review
- **Every domain has exactly 10 P-rules** (verified per domain: api 10, security 10, data 10, testing 10, performance 10, observability 10, errors 10, documentation 10, concurrency 10, devops 10, uiux 10).
- **Matrix has exactly 110 rows** (11 domains × 10 principles).
- **Every matrix row maps to a C-rule** that exists in `core/first-principles.md` (C1C8 all present).
- **Every example cites principles** (good: 1018 citations; bad: 711 citations).
### Security Review
- **No secret in git history:** the GITEA_API_TOKEN value does not appear in any committed file or commit message. `.ciagent/.env.secrets` is gitignored and never staged.
- **No security anti-patterns in framework content:** the `review/anti-patterns.md` catalog is complete; examples/bad/* cite the security principles they violate.
### Quality Review
- **Document structure consistent:** all first-principles docs follow the template (Manifesto → Principles → Conflict Resolution → What Violates → Relationship to Core).
- **Reading order links resolve:** `core/reading-order.md` forward references to P2P6 docs now resolve (all created).
- **CHANGELOG follows Keep a Changelog format:** Added section, phases enumerated.
### P1+ Issues Found (post-hoc, not blocking)
1. **Squash-merge commits lack `---ci---` blocks:** the 7 `docs(P0N): complete ...` commits (consolidation points) and the initial `chore: initialize` commit do not have `---ci---` blocks. The task commits on phase branches all have them. Per commit-discipline, consolidation commits could include a `---ci---` block. This is a P1 (post-hoc) issue, not blocking. The milestone ship commit below includes a comprehensive `---ci---` block covering the milestone.
**P0 fixes applied:** none required. No blocking issues found.
## Audit
### Reconstruction Test
- **MANIFEST.md lists all framework documents:** ✓ (64 docs)
- **Every listed document exists:** ✓
- **Git log reconstructs project state:** the `---ci---` blocks in task commits record phase, milestone, status, and requirements covered. The git log + `.ciagent/` files reconstruct the full project state.
### Branch Hygiene
- **Before ship:** `main`, `milestone/v0.1-atelier`, 7 phase branches (0006), `phase/07-final-review-ship` (current).
- **After ship:** all phase branches deleted; `main` + `milestone/v0.1-atelier` remain briefly, then milestone branch deleted after merge to main. Tags preserve all history.
### Commit Discipline
- **Task commits** (on phase branches): all have `---ci---` blocks with project, phase, milestone, status, requirements. ✓
- **Squash-merge commits** (on milestone branch): consolidation commits without `---ci---` blocks. P1 (post-hoc).
- **Init commit**: has full `---ci---` block. ✓
### File Discipline
- `.ciagent/` holds only governance files (config, PROJECT, ROADMAP, REQUIREMENTS, ARCHITECTURE, PERSONAS, PLAN, RESEARCH, CLARIFY, AUDIT-P2, CHECKPOINT). ✓
- Framework content is in the repo root (`core/`, `domains/`, etc.). ✓
- `.env.secrets` is gitignored, never committed. ✓
## Milestone Ship Checklist
- [x] All execution phases (P1P6) shipped (v0.0.1v0.0.6)
- [x] Review passed (structural, behavioral, security, quality)

# Contributing to Atelier
Thank you for considering a contribution to Atelier. This framework lives by its principles; contributions are expected to follow them.
## What We Accept
- **New domain first-principles** — if a domain is missing (e.g., `domains/ai-ml/`), propose it with 10 principles (P1P10), each traced to a core principle (C1C8) in `matrix/principles-matrix.md`.
- **New domain derived docs** — topic docs under an existing domain (e.g., `domains/api/webhooks.md`), deriving from the domain's first-principles.
- **New language application docs** — `languages/<lang>.md` showing how domain principles apply in a specific language.
- **New examples** — `examples/good/*` (with principle citations) or `examples/bad/*` (with violation citations).
- **Corrections** — to existing principles, derivations, or examples. A correction to a core principle is a major version change; treat with care.
- **Improvements to the matrix** — if a derivation is missing or wrong, propose the fix with the rationale.
## What We Do Not Accept
- **Style rules** — Atelier is principles, not style. Use a linter for style.
- **Tooling** — linters, analyzers, or enforcement code. Atelier is markdown.
- **Unlisted docs** — every document must be in `MANIFEST.md`. An unlisted doc is not part of the framework.
- **Principles without derivation** — a domain principle that does not trace to a core principle is orphaned and will be rejected.
## How to Contribute
### 1. Read the relevant docs first
- `core/first-principles.md` — the eight axioms.
- `core/conflict-resolution.md` — how conflicts are resolved.
- The domain(s) you are contributing to.
- `matrix/principles-matrix.md` — to see existing derivations.
### 2. Follow the document structure
See `domains/documentation/doc-templates.md` for the canonical structure. Every first-principles doc has:
- Manifesto
- The Principles (P1P10, named, defined, with "what violates it")
- Conflict Resolution
- What Violates These Principles (table)
- Relationship to Core
### 3. Update the matrix
If you add or change a principle, update `matrix/principles-matrix.md` with the derivation. A PR with a new principle but no matrix row is incomplete.
### 4. Update the manifest
If you add a new document, add it to `MANIFEST.md` in the correct section. An unlisted document is not part of the framework.
### 5. Add examples
If you add a principle, add at least one good example and one bad example in `examples/`. Examples are mandatory (Documentation P3).
### 6. Write a clear PR description
- What principle or document you are adding/changing.
- Why (the rationale, not just the what — Documentation P8 Why Over What).
- Which core principle(s) it derives from.
- What conflicts it might introduce (if any).
## Review Criteria
Reviewers will check (see `review/peer-review-checklist.md`):
- Does the new principle trace to a core principle?
- Is the matrix updated?
- Is the manifest updated?
- Are there examples?
- Does the structure follow the template?
- Does it conflict with existing principles? If so, is the conflict resolvable per `core/conflict-resolution.md`?
## Versioning
- A new domain or language doc is a minor version (e.g., v0.1 → v0.2).
- A new topic doc or example is a patch version (e.g., v0.1.0 → v0.1.1).
- A change to `core/first-principles.md` (adding, removing, or reordering a core principle) is a major version (e.g., v0.x → v1.0).
- See `CHANGELOG.md` for the version history.

// ... 200 more lines of helper methods
}
```
## Violations
### C3 Simplicity (Core)
- A 1,200-line class doing 8 different things (CRUD, email, auth, cache, audit, validation, serialization).
- The class cannot be understood in one read. Complexity is the liability.
- **Fix:** Split into `UserRepository` (CRUD), `UserEmailService` (email), `UserAuthService` (auth), `UserCache` (cache), `UserAuditLogger` (audit), `UserValidator` (validation), `UserSerializer` (serialization).
### C6 Composability (Core)
- The class takes 4 dependencies and does 8 jobs. It is not composable; it is monolithic.
- You cannot reuse the email logic without the DB, the cache, the audit log.
- **Fix:** Each responsibility is its own class. Compose them: `UserEmailService` takes only `EmailService`.
### components.md §1 Single Responsibility (UI/UX, applies to code)
- The class name is `UserManager`. "Manager" is a smell — it manages what? Everything.
- If the name is "Manager," it has no single responsibility.
- **Fix:** Name by responsibility: `UserRepository`, `UserAuthService`. Names that cannot be "And"-ed.
### C4 Locality (Core)
- Cache logic is in the same class as email logic. A change to cache touches the email methods' neighbor.
- Related logic (cache get/set/invalidate) is grouped, but unrelated logic (email) is adjacent.
- **Fix:** `UserCache` is its own class. Cache changes are local to cache.
### C2 Clarity (Core)
- A reader cannot answer "what does `UserManager` do?" in one sentence.
- The class has 20+ methods. The reader must scan all of them to find the one they need.
- **Fix:** Smaller classes with clear names. The name is the documentation.
### Security P2 Least Privilege (Security)
- The class has `db`, `emailService`, `logger`, `auditLog` — all available to all methods.
- `sendWelcomeEmail` has access to `db.delete`. Least privilege is violated.
- **Fix:** Each service has only the dependencies it needs. `UserEmailService` has `EmailService`, not `Database`.
### Testing P2 Independence (Testing)
- To test `sendWelcomeEmail`, you must construct `UserManager` with a real/mock DB, email, logger, audit.
- The test setup is 4 mocks for one method. Independence is violated.
- **Fix:** Test `UserEmailService` with one mock (`EmailService`).
## What This Example Reveals
The "God Object" is the cardinal sin of OOP. It violates C3 (Simplicity), C6 (Composability), C4 (Locality), and C2 (Clarity) simultaneously. Every other principle suffers downstream:
- Testing is hard (T2 Independence).
- Security is loose (S2 Least Privilege).
- Evolution is brittle (a change to email risks cache).
- Review is exhausting (a 1,200-line diff).
The fix is always the same: **decompose by responsibility**. The class name is the test: if it is "Manager," "Handler," or "Helper," it has no single responsibility.

# Bad Example: Leaky Abstraction
> An abstraction that leaks its implementation details, violating Atelier principles. Each violation is cited.
## The Code
```typescript
// UserRepository — "abstracts" the database
class UserRepository {
async findAll(): Promise<UserRow[]> {
// Leaks: returns the raw DB row type, not a domain User
return db.query('SELECT id, email, password_hash, created_at, deleted_at FROM users');
}
async findByEmail(email: string): Promise<UserRow | null> {
// Leaks: the caller must know to filter deleted_at
const rows = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = $1', [email]);
return rows[0] || null;
}
async save(user: UserRow): Promise<void> {
// Leaks: the caller must know the column names and the SQL
await db.query(
'UPDATE users SET email = $1, password_hash = $2, updated_at = now() WHERE id = $3',
[user.email, user.password_hash, user.id]
);
}
}
// Usage — the leak is visible
const repo = new UserRepository();
const user = await repo.findByEmail('jane@example.com');
if (user && !user.deleted_at) { // caller must know about soft delete
user.password_hash = await hash(newPassword); // caller must know the column
await repo.save(user); // caller must know it's an UPDATE
}
```
## Violations
### C6 Composability (Core)
- The abstraction is supposed to hide the database. It does not.
- The caller must know: the row type (`UserRow`), the soft-delete column (`deleted_at`), the password column (`password_hash`), the SQL operation (`UPDATE`).
- The abstraction is a thin wrapper. It composes nothing; it leaks everything.
- **Fix:** Return a domain `User` (no `password_hash`, no `deleted_at`). Hide soft delete (the repo filters it). Hide persistence (the caller calls `save`, not `UPDATE`).
### C2 Clarity (Core)
- The caller's code is unclear: `if (user && !user.deleted_at)` — what is `deleted_at`? Why does the caller check it?
- The abstraction was supposed to clarify. It muddied.
- **Fix:** `repo.findByEmail()` returns `User | null` (already filtered). The caller does not know soft delete exists.
### API P2 Clarity (API, by analogy)
- The repo's API exposes the DB schema in its return types. `UserRow` is a DB concept, not a domain concept.
- The public contract (return type) leaks the private implementation (the table).
- **Fix:** The return type is `User`, a domain type. `UserRow` is internal.
### Data P8 Lifecycle Awareness (Data)
- The soft-delete lifecycle (`deleted_at`) is the repo's concern. The caller should not manage it.
- By exposing `deleted_at`, the repo forces every caller to remember the filter. A forgotten filter is a soft-delete leak.
- **Fix:** The repo filters `deleted_at IS NULL` in every query. The caller never sees `deleted_at`.
### Security P9 Secret Hygiene (Security)
- `password_hash` is in the returned `UserRow`. The caller now has access to the password hash.
- A caller that logs `user` logs the hash. A caller that serializes `user` serializes the hash.
- **Fix:** `User` does not include `password_hash`. Only `UserRepository` and `AuthService` (internal) see it.
### C4 Locality (Core)
- The SQL is in the repo, but the column knowledge (`password_hash`, `deleted_at`) is in the caller.
- A column rename touches the repo AND every caller. Locality is violated.
- **Fix:** Column names are local to the repo. The caller knows only the domain `User`.
### C5 Reversibility (Core)
- Changing the database (e.g., from SQL to NoSQL, or renaming a column) requires touching every caller.
- The abstraction was supposed to make the change local. It does not.
- **Fix:** The repo's interface (`findByEmail`, `save`) is stable. The implementation changes; the callers do not.
## What This Example Reveals
The leaky abstraction is the false promise of encapsulation. The class is named `UserRepository` (suggesting it abstracts persistence), but it returns raw DB rows, exposes lifecycle columns, and leaks secret fields. The abstraction exists in name only.
The cost:
- Every caller must know the DB schema (C6 violated).
- A schema change touches every caller (C5 violated, C4 violated).
- Secret fields leak to callers (Security P9 violated).
- The lifecycle is the caller's burden (Data P8 violated).
The fix is always the same: **the abstraction's public type is the domain type, not the implementation type**. `UserRepository.findByEmail()` returns `User | null`, where `User` has `id`, `email`, `name` — and nothing else. `password_hash`, `deleted_at`, `UserRow` are internal. The caller knows nothing about the database.

# Bad Example: Silent Error
> An error-handling pattern that violates Atelier principles. Each violation is cited.
## The Code
```typescript
async function getUser(id: string): Promise<User | null> {
try {
const user = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1', [id]);
return user;
} catch (e) {
return null;
}
}
async function processOrder(orderId: string): Promise<void> {
const order = await getOrder(orderId);
if (!order) {
return; // silently do nothing
}
// ... process
}
// Usage in a route
router.get('/users/:id', async (req, res) => {
const user = await getUser(req.params.id);
if (!user) {
res.status(404).json({ error: 'Not found' });
} else {
res.json({ data: user });
}
});
```
## Violations
### Errors P2 Fail Loudly (Errors)
- `catch (e) { return null }` swallows the error. The caller cannot distinguish "user not found" from "database down."
- A database outage returns 404s. The operator never knows. Silent failure.
- **Fix:** Catch and re-throw with context, or return a typed error (`Result<User, Error>`). Never `null` for "an error happened."
### Errors P3 Fail Specifically (Errors)
- `return null` is the least specific response. It could mean: not found, db error, network error, permission error.
- The caller's `if (!user)` cannot distinguish these. The 404 is a lie if the real cause was a 500.
- **Fix:** Return `Result` or throw. The error type/code carries the specificity.
### Errors P1 Errors are Data (Errors)
- `null` is not data. It is the absence of data. Conflating "error" with "absence" loses information.
- The error (a database failure) was data; it was thrown away and replaced with `null`.
- **Fix:** Errors are values. Return the error value, not a sentinel absence.
### Errors P4 Preserve Context (Errors)
- The catch block discards `e`. The stack trace, the error message, the cause — all gone.
- The log has no record. The operator cannot debug.
- **Fix:** Log the error with context. Wrap and re-throw: `throw new Error('getUser failed', { cause: e })`.
### Errors P9 Errors are Logged (Errors)
- The error is not logged. The handling (return null) is the entire response. The log is missing.
- An error that is not logged is an error that cannot be investigated.
- **Fix:** `logger.error({ err: e, userId: id })` before returning/rethrowing.
### Errors P10 Errors Don't Lie (Errors)
- `return null` claims "no user" when the truth may be "database down." The function lies.
- The 404 response claims "not found" when the truth may be "internal error." The API lies.
- **Fix:** The response status must match the actual condition. 500 for server errors, 404 for not found.
### Observability P2 Correlation, P3 Context (Observability)
- No `request_id`. No correlation across services.
- No context in the (missing) log. "What was the user doing?" is unanswerable.
- **Fix:** Propagate `request_id`. Log with path, method, user_id.
### Security P8 Fail Securely (Security)
- The silent failure is fail-open in disguise. If `getUser` fails due to an authz check throwing, the catch returns `null`.
- The caller treats `null` as "not found" and may proceed, or may 404. Either way, the security failure is hidden.
- **Fix:** Distinguish "not found" (404) from "authz error" (403) from "db error" (500). Never collapse them into `null`.
## What This Example Reveals
The silent error is the most common and most damaging anti-pattern. It violates Errors P2 (Fail Loudly), P3 (Fail Specifically), P1 (Errors are Data), P4 (Preserve Context), P9 (Errors are Logged), P10 (Errors Don't Lie) — six of ten error principles in one catch block.
The downstream effects:
- Operators cannot debug (no log, no context).
- Users see wrong errors (404 for a 500).
- Security failures hide (authz error becomes "not found").
- The system appears healthy when it is not (no metrics, no logs).
The fix is always the same: **never swallow an error**. Log it, wrap it, rethrow it, or return it as a typed value. Never `return null` for "something went wrong."

# Good Example: API Endpoint
> A REST endpoint that follows Atelier's API principles. Each aspect cites the principle it satisfies.
## The Endpoint
```typescript
// POST /v1/orders — create an order
router.post('/v1/orders', auth, validate(CreateOrderSchema), async (req, res) => {
const { userId, items } = req.body;
const order = await orderService.create({ userId, items });
res.status(201).location(`/v1/orders/${order.id}`).json({
data: order,
});
});
```
## What Makes It Good
### Resource Naming (API P2 Clarity, P3 Predictability)
- `/v1/orders` — noun, plural, lowercase, hyphenated.
- Versioned (`/v1`) — P5 Versioning.
- No verb in the URL; the HTTP method is the verb.
### Method Semantics (API P1 Contract Fidelity, P6 Idempotency)
- POST for creation. 201 on success (not 200). `Location` header for the new resource.
- Idempotency key supported via middleware (omitted for brevity) — P6.
### Authentication (API P8 Security, Security P1 Zero Trust)
- `auth` middleware runs on every endpoint by default. No opt-in auth.
- The endpoint does not re-implement auth; it relies on the boundary check.
### Input Validation (API P8, Security P4 Input Validation)
- `validate(CreateOrderSchema)` — schema-based validation at the boundary.
- The schema (zod, joi, etc.) defines types, ranges, required fields.
- Unknown fields rejected (`additionalProperties: false` in the schema).
### Response Shape (API P2 Clarity)
- `{ data: order }` — wrapped, not a bare object. Allows adding pagination/metadata without breaking.
- The shape is consistent across all endpoints in the API.
### Error Handling (API P9 Error Transparency, Errors P1 Errors are Data)
- Errors thrown in `orderService.create` are caught by centralized middleware.
- Errors are structured: `{ error: { code, message, request_id } }`.
- 404 → `ORDER_NOT_FOUND`, 409 → `DUPLICATE_ORDER`, 422 → `VALIDATION_FAILED`.
### Observability (Observability P2 Correlation, P3 Sufficient Context)
- `request_id` propagated via middleware. Every log in the request includes it.
- Significant events logged: "order created", "order creation failed".
### Economy (Core C8, Performance P4 Resource Bounds)
- The order creation is bounded in time (the service has a timeout).
- No unbounded query; no loading all products into memory.
## The Schema (for completeness)
```typescript
const CreateOrderSchema = z.object({
userId: z.string().uuid(),
items: z.array(z.object({
productId: z.string().uuid(),
quantity: z.number().int().positive().max(100),
})).min(1).max(50),
}).strict(); // additionalProperties: false
```
- `userId` is a UUID (Data P7 Type Fidelity).
- `quantity` is bounded (Performance P4).
- `items` is bounded (150) (Performance P4, Security P10 Surface Minimization).
- `.strict()` rejects unknown fields (Security P4).
## What This Example Does NOT Do (And Why That's Good)
- Does not return 200 on error — the status code is the first signal (API P9).
- Does not log the request body — may contain PII (Observability P6, Security P9).
- Does not construct SQL by string interpolation — uses a service layer (Security P5 Output Safety).
- Does not skip auth for "internal" callers — Zero Trust (Security P1).

# Good Example: Database Schema
> A SQL schema that follows Atelier's Data principles. Each aspect cites the principle it satisfies.
## The Schema
```sql
-- Users table
CREATE TABLE users (
id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
created_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
deleted_at TIMESTAMPTZ,
CONSTRAINT users_email_unique UNIQUE (email),
CONSTRAINT users_email_format CHECK (email ~ '^[^@]+@[^@]+\.[^@]+$')
);
CREATE INDEX users_email_idx ON users (email) WHERE deleted_at IS NULL;
CREATE INDEX users_created_at_idx ON users (created_at DESC);
-- Orders table
CREATE TABLE orders (
id UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(),
user_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE RESTRICT,
status VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'pending',
total_cents INTEGER NOT NULL,
created_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),
CONSTRAINT orders_status_valid CHECK (status IN ('pending', 'paid', 'shipped', 'cancelled')),
CONSTRAINT orders_total_positive CHECK (total_cents >= 0)
);
CREATE INDEX orders_user_id_idx ON orders (user_id);
CREATE INDEX orders_status_created_idx ON orders (status, created_at DESC);
```
## What Makes It Good
### Truth (Data P1)
- The schema reflects the domain: `users` have `email`, `name`, lifecycle timestamps. `orders` have `status`, `total`.
- No column named after a feature (`is_active_for_X`). No application state in the schema.
### Invariants in the Schema (Data P3)
- `NOT NULL` where required: `email`, `name`, `user_id`, `status`, `total_cents`.
- `UNIQUE (email)` — emails are unique. Enforced in the DB, defended in the app.
- `CHECK (status IN (...))` — status is a finite domain. Enforced in the DB.
- `CHECK (total_cents >= 0)` — totals are non-negative. Enforced in the DB.
- `REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE RESTRICT` — you cannot delete a user with orders. Referential integrity (P9).
### Type Fidelity (Data P7)
- `id` is `UUID`, not `VARCHAR(36)`. The type matches the domain.
- `created_at` is `TIMESTAMPTZ`, not `VARCHAR` or `INTEGER`. Timezone-aware.
- `total_cents` is `INTEGER`, not `FLOAT`. Money in cents avoids floating point (P1 Truth).
- `status` is `VARCHAR(20)` with a CHECK, not a free `TEXT`. Bounded.
### Naming Consistency (Data P6)
- snake_case: `users`, `orders`, `user_id`, `created_at`.
- Foreign key: `user_id` (singular table + `_id`), not `uid` or `user`.
- Timestamps: `created_at`, `updated_at`, `deleted_at` — consistent suffix `_at`.
### Lifecycle Awareness (Data P8)
- `deleted_at` for soft delete. Lifecycle is first-class.
- The unique index on email is partial: `WHERE deleted_at IS NULL` — allows re-registration after soft delete.
- Every query must filter `deleted_at IS NULL` (a discipline, not a schema property).
### Indexing with Intent (Data P5, P10)
- `users_email_idx` — queries by email (login, lookup). Partial (excludes soft-deleted).
- `users_created_at_idx` — list users by recency. DESC matches the typical query.
- `orders_user_id_idx` — list a user's orders. FK index (join performance).
- `orders_status_created_idx` — composite for "open orders by recency" (`WHERE status = 'pending' ORDER BY created_at DESC`).
- No index on every column. Each index serves a query.
### Migration Safety (Data P4)
- This schema is created via a migration with an `up` and a `down`.
- The `down` drops the tables in reverse order (orders, then users) to respect FKs.
- Adding a column later uses expand-contract (nullable first, then constrained).
## What This Example Does NOT Do (And Why That's Good)
- Does not use `FLOAT` for money — floating point errors (P7, P1).
- Does not use `VARCHAR` for the UUID — wrong type (P7).
- Does not omit the FK on `orders.user_id` — unenforced relationship (P9).
- Does not index every column — write amplification (P10, C8).
- Does not use `is_deleted BOOLEAN` without a timestamp — loses the deletion time (P8).
- Does not allow `status` to be free text — would lose the finite domain (P3).

# Good Example: Error Handler
> An error handler that follows Atelier's Errors principles. Each aspect cites the principle it satisfies.
## The Handler
```typescript
// Centralized error middleware
import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
type AppError = {
code: string;
message: string;
statusCode: number;
details?: Record<string, unknown>;
cause?: unknown;
};
function errorHandler(err: unknown, req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) {
const requestId = req.headers['x-request-id'] as string || uuidv4();
const appError = normalizeError(err, requestId);
// Log with full context (server-side only)
logger.error({
request_id: requestId,
code: appError.code,
message: appError.message,
details: appError.details,
path: req.path,
method: req.method,
user_id: req.user?.id,
stack: err instanceof Error ? err.stack : undefined,
});
// Respond with safe, structured error
res.status(appError.statusCode).json({
error: {
code: appError.code,
message: appError.message,
request_id: requestId,
...(appError.details ? { details: appError.details } : {}),
},
});
}
function normalizeError(err: unknown, requestId: string): AppError {
// Known error types — preserve their code and status
if (err instanceof ValidationError) {
return {
code: err.code,
message: err.message,
statusCode: 422,
details: err.details,
};
}
if (err instanceof NotFoundError) {
return { code: err.code, message: err.message, statusCode: 404 };
}
if (err instanceof AuthError) {
return { code: 'AUTH_REQUIRED', message: 'Authentication required', statusCode: 401 };
}
// Unknown error — fail securely, do not leak internals
return {
code: 'INTERNAL_ERROR',
message: 'An internal error occurred',
statusCode: 500,
cause: err,
};
}
```
## What Makes It Good
### Errors are Data (Errors P1)
- Errors are normalized into a structured `AppError` type. They are values, not raw exceptions.
- The `code` is a stable, machine-consumable string (`VALIDATION_FAILED`, not a free message).
- The handler treats every error as data to be transformed, not a flow to be caught.
### Fail Loudly (Errors P2)
- No `catch (e) {}`. Every error reaches the handler.
- No silent swallowing. The error is logged and responded to.
- The middleware is centralized — every route uses it. No route can "forget" to handle errors.
### Fail Specifically (Errors P3)
- `ValidationError` → 422 with `code: err.code` (specific, e.g., `INVALID_EMAIL`).
- `NotFoundError` → 404 with `code: err.code` (e.g., `USER_NOT_FOUND`).
- Unknown → 500 with `INTERNAL_ERROR` (generic only when truly unknown).
- Never "Something went wrong" — always a specific code.
### Preserve Context (Errors P4)
- Server-side log includes: `request_id`, `code`, `message`, `details`, `path`, `method`, `user_id`, `stack`.
- Client-side response includes: `code`, `message`, `request_id`, `details`.
- The `request_id` ties the client response to the server log. Debuggable.
### Recoverable When Possible (Errors P5)
- 422 (validation) — the client can fix and retry.
- 401 (auth) — the client can re-auth and retry.
- 404 (not found) — the client can correct the ID.
- Only 500 is "the server has a bug" — not recoverable by the client.
### Unrecoverable Means Stop (Errors P6)
- A 500 does not limp on. It logs and returns.
- The server does not try to "recover" from an unknown error by guessing. It fails fast.
### Errors are Boundaries (Errors P7)
- The middleware is the boundary. Internal error types (`ValidationError`, `NotFoundError`) are translated to HTTP responses here.
- Internal code throws domain errors; the boundary translates to HTTP. No internal error type leaks to the client.
### User-Facing Errors are UX (Errors P8)
- `message` is for the developer (log + response). The client UI renders a user-facing message based on `code`.
- `INTERNAL_ERROR` → "Something went wrong. We're on it." (user-facing), not the stack.
### Errors are Logged (Errors P9)
- Every error is logged at ERROR level with full context.
- The handling is the recovery (return a response); the log is the memory (investigate later).
### Errors Don't Lie (Errors P10)
- The status code matches the error type. 422 for validation, not 200.
- `INTERNAL_ERROR` is returned only for unknown errors. Known errors get their specific code.
- Never claim success on failure. Never claim failure on success.
### Security (Security P5 Output Safety, P9 Secret Hygiene)
- Unknown errors return `INTERNAL_ERROR` with no internal details. No stack trace to the client.
- The stack is logged server-side, never sent to the client.
- The error message does not echo the input (which may contain a token).
### Observability (Observability P2 Correlation, P3 Context)
- `request_id` on every error. Correlatable across services.
- Sufficient context in the log: path, method, user_id. "What was the user doing?" is answerable.
## What This Example Does NOT Do (And Why That's Good)
- Does not `catch (e) { return null }` — silent failure (P2).
- Does not return 200 with `{ error: ... }` — the status code lies (API P9).
- Does not send the stack trace to the client — information leak (Security P5).
- Does not log the request body — may contain secrets (Security P9, Observability P6).
- Does not use a generic `Error("error")` — not specific (P3).

# Good Example: React Component
> A UI component that follows Atelier's UI/UX principles. Each aspect cites the principle it satisfies.
## The Component
```tsx
import { useId, useState } from 'react';
import { Button } from './Button';
import { Spinner } from './Spinner';
type DeleteButtonProps = {
/** The resource name to display in the confirmation */
resourceName: string;
/** Called when the user confirms deletion */
onDelete: () => Promise<void>;
};
export function DeleteButton({ resourceName, onDelete }: DeleteButtonProps) {
const [isConfirming, setIsConfirming] = useState(false);
const [isDeleting, setIsDeleting] = useState(false);
const confirmId = useId();
const handleConfirm = async () => {
setIsDeleting(true);
try {
await onDelete();
} finally {
setIsDeleting(false);
setIsConfirming(false);
}
};
if (isConfirming) {
return (
<span role="group" aria-labelledby={confirmId}>
<span id={confirmId}>Delete {resourceName}? This cannot be undone.</span>
<Button variant="danger" onClick={handleConfirm} disabled={isDeleting}>
{isDeleting ? <Spinner label="Deleting" /> : 'Yes, delete'}
</Button>
<Button variant="ghost" onClick={() => setIsConfirming(false)} disabled={isDeleting}>
Cancel
</Button>
</span>
);
}
return (
<Button variant="danger" onClick={() => setIsConfirming(true)}>
Delete
</Button>
);
}
```
## What Makes It Good
### Single Responsibility (components.md §1)
- The component does one thing: confirm and trigger a deletion. No "And" in the name.
- The `onDelete` callback is the single output. The component owns the confirmation UI, not the deletion logic.
### Explicit Boundaries (components.md §3)
- Props are typed (`DeleteButtonProps`). Required props are required.
- `onDelete` returns a `Promise<void>` — the caller knows it's async.
- The component never reads global state. It receives `resourceName` and `onDelete`.
### Predictable State (components.md §4)
- `isConfirming` and `isDeleting` are owned by the component (only it cares).
- State is not duplicated. The parent does not know about confirmation.
- The component transitions: idle → confirming → deleting → idle.
### Render Purity (components.md §5)
- Given the same props and state, the component renders the same output.
- Side effects (`onDelete`) are in the event handler, not in render.
- `useId()` is deterministic per component instance (React guarantee).
### Accessible by Default (components.md §6, uiux P2)
- The confirmation group has `role="group"` and `aria-labelledby`.
- The Spinner has a `label` (screen reader announces "Deleting").
- Buttons have text labels (not icon-only).
- Focus order is logical (confirm → cancel).
- Keyboard-reachable (buttons are natively focusable).
### Forgiveness (UI/UX P5, P10 Reversibility)
- Destructive action requires confirmation (P5).
- "This cannot be undone" names the consequence (P3 Clarity).
- "Cancel" is offered and is not disabled during deletion (the user can cancel the *next* action).
- The state is reversible: `isConfirming` can be set back to `false` (P10).
### Style via Tokens (components.md §7)
- `variant="danger"` and `variant="ghost"` reference design tokens, not raw colors.
- No `style={{ color: 'red' }}` — the token system owns the visual.
### Feedback (UI/UX P4)
- The button shows a Spinner while deleting (P4, P6 Performance perception).
- The button is disabled while deleting (prevents double-click).
- The label changes: "Yes, delete" → Spinner (state is communicated).
### Clarity (UI/UX P3)
- "Delete {resourceName}? This cannot be undone." — specific, names the resource and the consequence.
- No "Are you sure?" — vague. No "Submit" — wrong verb.
## What This Example Does NOT Do (And Why That's Good)
- Does not use a `window.confirm()` dialog — not accessible, not styled, not composable.
- Does not render a modal — the inline confirmation is lighter and less disruptive (P9 Simplicity).
- Does not auto-delete on click — forgiveness (P5).
- Does not hardcode "Project" — the resource name is a prop (composability, components.md §3).

# Go — Language Application
> How Atelier's domain principles apply in Go specifically. Derives from `domains/` docs.
## Type System (C1 Correctness, Data P7 Type Fidelity)
- **Named types for domain concepts:** `type UserId string`, not bare `string`.
- **No `interface{}`/`any` without justification:** Go 1.18+ generics reduce the need.
- **`any` requires a type assertion or switch:** never use the value without narrowing.
```go
type UserId string
type OrderId string
// UserId and OrderId are distinct; cannot be mixed
func GetUser(id UserId) (*User, error) { ... }
```
## Error Handling (Errors P1 Errors are Data)
- **Errors are values:** `error` is an interface, not an exception. Handle explicitly.
- **Sentinel errors with `errors.Is`:**
```go
var ErrNotFound = errors.New("not found")
if errors.Is(err, ErrNotFound) { ... }
```
- **Wrap with context:** `fmt.Errorf("get user %d: %w", id, err)`.
- **Never `_ = err`:** swallowed error (Errors P2). Handle or return.
- **Custom error types with `errors.As`:**
```go
type ValidationError struct {
Field string
Msg string
}
func (e *ValidationError) Error() string { return e.Field + ": " + e.Msg }
```
## Concurrency (Concurrency — Go's strength)
- **Goroutines + channels** for message passing (P5 Lock Minimization).
- **`context.Context` for cancellation and timeout:** every function that does I/O takes a `ctx`.
- **`sync.Mutex` scoped minimally:** not held across I/O (P3 Lock Scope).
- **Bounded channels:** `make(chan T, N)`, not unbounded (P9 Bounded Queues).
```go
func fetchWithTimeout(ctx context.Context, url string) (*Response, error) {
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, 5*time.Second)
defer cancel()
return doFetch(ctx, url)
}
```
## Immutability (Concurrency P1)
- **Pass by value for small structs; pass by pointer for large or mutable.**
- **No mutation of method receivers:** use a value receiver, not a pointer receiver, for read-only methods.
- **Copy-on-write for shared state:** return a new struct, not a mutated one.
## Nullability (C1)
- **Pointers can be nil; values cannot.** Be explicit: `*User` (nullable) vs `User` (not).
- **`nil` check before deref:** a nil deref is a panic.
- **Return `(T, error)`, not `(*T, nil)`:** avoid the "nil pointer" trap.
## Testing (Testing)
- **`testing` package + `testify/assert`** or stdlib only.
- **Table-driven tests:** `[]struct{ name string; input X; want Y }`.
- **`t.Parallel()`** for independent tests (P2 Independence).
- **`httptest` for HTTP handlers; `sqlite` or testcontainers for DB.**
## Observability (Observability P1)
- **`slog` (stdlib, Go 1.21+) or `zap`/`zerolog`:** structured logs.
- **`context.Context` carries `trace_id`:** propagated via middleware.
- **No `fmt.Println`:** use the logger.
## Tooling (DevOps P2)
- **`go vet` + `golangci-lint`:** lint.
- **`gofmt`/`goimports`:** format (automated, not debated).
- **`go test -race` in CI:** race detector (Concurrency P6 No Silent Races).
- **`go mod tidy` + committed `go.sum`:** reproducible builds.

# Python — Language Application
> How Atelier's domain principles apply in Python specifically. Derives from `domains/` docs.
## Type System (C1 Correctness, Data P7 Type Fidelity)
- **Type hints on every function:** `def get_user(id: UUID) -> User | None:`.
- **`mypy --strict` or `pyright` in CI:** type check is not optional.
- **No `Any` without justification:** `Any` disables the type checker. Use `object` + narrowing.
- **Pydantic for runtime validation:** schemas validate and type at the boundary.
```python
from pydantic import BaseModel
from uuid import UUID
class UserCreate(BaseModel):
email: str
name: str
# additionalProperties: false by default (extra='forbid')
```
## Error Handling (Errors P1 Errors are Data)
- **Exceptions for exceptional cases,** not control flow. `raise` not `return None` for errors.
- **Custom exception hierarchy:**
```python
class AppError(Exception): pass
class ValidationError(AppError): pass
class NotFoundError(AppError): pass
```
- **Never bare `except:`:** `except Exception as e:` (catch specific, not everything).
- **Never `except: pass`:** log and re-raise or handle, never swallow (Errors P2).
## Async (Concurrency P7, P8)
- **`asyncio` for I/O-bound:** `async def`, `await`. Not threads for I/O.
- **`anyio` for portability** if you may switch runtimes (trio compatibility).
- **Timeout on every `await`:** `asyncio.wait_for(coro, timeout=5)`, not bare `await`.
- **Cancellation propagated:** `asyncio.CancelledError` is not caught; it propagates.
## Immutability (Concurrency P1)
- **`frozen=True` dataclasses** for value objects:
```python
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass(frozen=True)
class UserId:
value: str
```
- **Tuples over lists** for fixed-length, immutable sequences.
- **No in-place mutation of shared state:** return new objects.
## Nullability (C1)
- **`Optional[T]` is `T | None`:** explicit, must be checked.
- **`None` is not "not found":** raise `NotFoundError` or return `Result`, not `None`.
- **`assert` is for invariants,** not for runtime checks (stripped with `-O`).
## Testing (Testing)
- **pytest** with fixtures (factories, not shared state).
- **`pytest --randomly`** to catch order-dependent tests (P2 Independence).
- **`freezegun` for time:** no `datetime.now()` in tests; inject the clock.
- **`factory_boy` or `pytest-factoryboy`** for realistic factories.
## Observability (Observability P1)
- **`structlog` or `python-json-logger`:** JSON logs, not `print`.
- **`logging` with structured formatter:** every log has `request_id`, `user_id`, `event`.
- **No secrets in logs:** `mask_secret()` helper, or `structlog` processors.
## Tooling (DevOps P2)
- **`ruff` for lint + format:** replaces flake8 + black + isort.
- **`mypy --strict` in CI:** type check.
- **`pip-tools` or `poetry` for lockfile:** pinned dependencies.
- **`pip install --no-deps -r requirements.txt`:** reproducible install.

# Rust — Language Application
> How Atelier's domain principles apply in Rust specifically. Derives from `domains/` docs.
## Type System (C1 Correctness, Data P7 Type Fidelity)
- **Newtypes for domain concepts:** `struct UserId(String);` — zero-cost, type-safe.
- **`enum` for finite domains:** `enum Status { Pending, Paid, Shipped }` — exhaustive.
- **No `unsafe` without justification and review:** `unsafe` opts out of the compiler's guarantees.
```rust
struct UserId(String);
struct OrderId(String);
// Cannot pass OrderId where UserId is expected
fn get_user(id: UserId) -> Result<User, Error> { ... }
```
## Error Handling (Errors P1 Errors are Data)
- **`Result<T, E>` for fallible operations:** errors are values, not exceptions.
- **`thiserror` for error enums, `anyhow` for applications:**
```rust
#[derive(thiserror::Error)]
enum AppError {
#[error("not found: {0}")]
NotFound(String),
#[error("validation: {0}")]
Validation(String),
#[error(transparent)]
Io(#[from] std::io::Error),
}
```
- **`?` for propagation, not `unwrap()`:** `unwrap()` panics in production.
- **No `panic::catch_unwind` for control flow:** panics are for bugs, not errors.
## Concurrency (Concurrency — Rust's ownership model)
- **`Send` and `Sync` traits enforced by the compiler:** data races are compile errors.
- **`Arc<T>` for shared, `Mutex<T>`/`RwLock<T>` for mutation:** the lock is explicit.
- **`tokio` for async:** `async fn`, `.await`. Bounded channels (`tokio::sync::mpsc::channel(N)`).
- **`Drop` for cleanup:** no leaked resources (no `defer` needed; RAII).
```rust
async fn fetch_with_timeout(url: &str) -> Result<Response, Error> {
tokio::time::timeout(Duration::from_secs(5), fetch(url)).await??;
}
```
## Immutability (Concurrency P1 Immutability by Default)
- **Variables are immutable by default:** `let x = 5;` not `let mut x = 5;`.
- **`&T` (shared ref) over `&mut T` (exclusive ref):** the compiler enforces aliasing rules.
- **Interior mutability (`Cell`/`RefCell`) only when needed:** not as a default.
## Nullability (C1)
- **`Option<T>`, not nullable pointers:** `Some(x)` / `None`. The compiler enforces handling.
- **No `null`:** Rust has no null. `Option::None` is the explicit absence.
- **`?` on `Option` for propagation:** `fn get_name(user: User) -> Option<String> { user.profile?.name }`.
## Testing (Testing)
- **`#[test]` + `#[cfg(test)] mod tests`:** tests co-located.
- **`proptest` or `quickcheck` for property-based tests:** edge case coverage (P9).
- **`tokio::test` for async tests.**
- **No `SystemTime::now()` in tests:** inject an `Instant` or a mock clock.
## Observability (Observability P1)
- **`tracing` crate:** structured logs + spans + traces. Not `println!`.
- **`tracing::instrument` on functions:** automatic span context.
- **`tracing-subscriber` with JSON format:** structured output for production.
## Tooling (DevOps P2)
- **`cargo clippy`:** lint. `cargo clippy -- -D warnings` in CI.
- **`cargo fmt`:** format.
- **`cargo test`:** tests. `cargo test --release` for perf-sensitive.
- **Committed `Cargo.lock`:** reproducible builds (even for libraries, for CI).

# TypeScript — Language Application
> How Atelier's domain principles apply in TypeScript specifically. Derives from `domains/` docs; this file is the language-specific lens.
## Type System (C1 Correctness, Data P7 Type Fidelity)
- **Strict mode on:** `strict: true` in `tsconfig.json`. No `any` without justification.
- **No `any`, no `unknown` without narrowing:** `any` disables the type checker. `unknown` requires narrowing before use.
- **Discriminated unions over enums:** `type Status = { type: 'pending' } | { type: 'paid'; amount: number }` — exhaustive, type-safe.
- **Branded types for domain IDs:** `type UserId = string & { __brand: 'UserId' }` — prevents passing a `PostId` where a `UserId` is expected.
```typescript
type UserId = string & { readonly __brand: 'UserId' };
function getUser(id: UserId): User { ... }
// getUser("abc") // type error
// getUser("abc" as UserId) // ok
```
## Error Handling (Errors P1 Errors are Data)
- **Result type over exceptions for expected failures:**
```typescript
type Result<T, E> = { ok: true; value: T } | { ok: false; error: E };
```
- **Exceptions for programmer errors:** null deref, invariant violation. Not for "user not found."
- **Never `any` in catch:** `catch (e: unknown)` then narrow with `instanceof` or a type guard.
## Async (Concurrency P7 Cancellation Support, P8 Timeout Discipline)
- **`Promise` with `AbortSignal`:** every async function accepts an optional `AbortSignal` for cancellation.
- **`Promise.race` with a timeout:** never `await` without a timeout for external calls.
- **No `await` in a hot loop without batching:** use `Promise.all` for parallelism.
```typescript
async function fetchWithTimeout(url: string, signal?: AbortSignal): Promise<Response> {
const timeout = new AbortController();
signal?.addEventListener('abort', () => timeout.abort());
const timer = setTimeout(() => timeout.abort(), 5000);
try {
return await fetch(url, { signal: timeout.signal });
} finally {
clearTimeout(timer);
}
}
```
## Immutability (Concurrency P1 Immutability by Default)
- **`readonly` on arrays and objects:** `readonly string[]`, `readonly { id: string }`.
- **`as const` for literals:** `const status = 'pending' as const`.
- **Immutable update patterns:** `spread` or `Immer` for nested updates, never mutation.
## Nullability (C1 Correctness)
- **`strictNullChecks: true`:** `null` and `undefined` are distinct and must be handled.
- **No `!` (non-null assertion) without justification:** it disables the null check. Use narrowing.
- **`optional chaining` over `&&`:** `user?.profile?.name` not `user && user.profile && user.profile.name`.
## Testing (Testing)
- **Jest or Vitest** with `ts-jest`/`vite`. Test files co-located: `user.ts``user.test.ts`.
- **Factories over fixtures:** `makeUser()` returns a fresh object per test.
- **No `Date.now()` in tests:** inject the clock. `jest.useFakeTimers()` or pass a `now` function.
## Observability (Observability P1 Structured by Default)
- **Structured logger:** `pino` or `winston` in JSON mode. Not `console.log`.
- **`request_id` via middleware:** propagated on every log in the request.
- **No secrets in logs:** the logger redacts known secret fields (`pino` redact option).
## Tooling (DevOps P2 Automation)
- **ESLint with `@typescript-eslint`** — strict ruleset.
- **Prettier** — format, not debated.
- **`tsc --noEmit` in CI** — type check without emitting.
- **`npm ci`** — lockfile install, not `npm install`.

# Domain Coverage
> Where each core principle applies across the domains. The complement to `principles-matrix.md`: the matrix maps domain → core; this maps core → domains.
## Core Principle Coverage
| Core Principle | Domains that derive from it | Count |
|----------------|---------------------------|-------|
| C1 Correctness | All 11 (security, data, api, testing, performance, observability, errors, uiux, documentation, concurrency, devops) | Universal |
| C2 Clarity | uiux, api, data, testing, observability, errors, documentation, devops | 8 |
| C3 Simplicity | security, data, testing, performance, documentation, concurrency, devops | 7 |
| C4 Locality | testing, concurrency | 2 |
| C5 Reversibility | api, data, uiux, concurrency, devops | 5 |
| C6 Composability | api, security, observability, errors, documentation, concurrency | 6 |
| C7 Observability | api, data, testing, performance, observability, errors, devops | 7 |
| C8 Economy | security, testing, performance, observability, concurrency | 5 |
## Interpretation
- **C1 Correctness** is universal — every domain derives from it. This confirms C1 as the floor.
- **C4 Locality** is the narrowest (2 domains: testing independence, concurrency boundaries). Locality is inherently domain-specific; not a gap.
- **C2 Clarity** and **C7 Observability** are the next-most-derived, confirming they are cross-cutting concerns.
- **C6 Composability** appears in 6 domains — it is most relevant where parts combine (api, errors, observability, documentation, concurrency) and least relevant where the unit is monolithic.
## Per-Domain Coverage
| Domain | C-rules derived from | Notes |
|--------|---------------------|-------|
| UI/UX | C1, C2, C3, C5, C7 | User-facing; clarity + reversibility |
| API | C1, C2, C3, C5, C6, C7 | Contracts; composability + stability |
| Security | C1, C3, C6, C7, C8 | 8/10 non-tradeable (promoted to C1) |
| Data | C1, C2, C3, C5, C7 | Truth + migration safety |
| Testing | C1, C2, C3, C4, C7, C8 | Independence (C4) is unique |
| Performance | C1, C3, C6, C7, C8 | Economy + measurement |
| Observability | C1, C2, C6, C7, C8 | Self-referential (P7 derives from C7) |
| Errors | C1, C2, C5, C6, C7 | Errors as data + reversibility |
| Documentation | C1, C2, C3, C5, C6 | Docs-as-code + living docs |
| Concurrency | C1, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8 | Broadest derivation; locality (C4) unique |
| DevOps | C1, C2, C3, C5, C7 | Reproducibility + rollback |
## Gaps and Notes
- No domain derives from only one C-rule. The minimum is 4 (UI/UX: C1, C2, C3, C5, C7 — actually 5). Every domain is multi-rooted.
- **Concurrency** has the broadest derivation (7 C-rules) — it touches the most core concerns.
- **UI/UX** and **API** are the most user-facing; they emphasize C2 (Clarity) heavily.
- **Security** is the only domain with explicit non-tradeable declarations; this promotes 8 of its rules to C1-equivalent per `core/conflict-resolution.md` §6.

# Agent Pre-Completion Checklist
> Every AI agent runs this checklist before completing a task. If any item fails, fix it before finishing. This is the gate between "the code is written" and "the task is done."
## How to Use This
1. Read the relevant `domains/<x>/first-principles.md` before starting the task.
2. Implement the task.
3. Run this checklist. Every item must pass (or be explicitly justified).
4. If an item fails, fix it. Do not "skip" without a written reason.
## Core Principles Checklist (C1C8)
### C1 Correctness
- [ ] Does the code do what the task asked, completely?
- [ ] Does it handle the specified edge cases? (nulls, empties, max, min)
- [ ] Does it handle the failure cases? (errors, timeouts, invalid input)
- [ ] Is there a test that would fail if the code were wrong?
### C2 Clarity
- [ ] Can a stranger read this and understand it without asking you?
- [ ] Are names intent-revealing? (No `data`, `temp`, `x`, `doStuff`)
- [ ] Do comments explain *why*, not *what*?
- [ ] Is the structure scannable? (Short functions, clear sections)
### C3 Simplicity
- [ ] Is this the simplest solution that is complete?
- [ ] Is there dead code? (Unreachable branches, unused variables)
- [ ] Is there premature abstraction? (An interface with one implementation)
- [ ] Could 50 lines do what 200 lines do?
### C4 Locality
- [ ] Does related logic live together?
- [ ] Are side effects near their causes?
- [ ] Does a change to this feature require touching distant files?
### C5 Reversibility
- [ ] Is this change undoable? (migration has a `down`, deploy has a rollback)
- [ ] Did I avoid irreversible actions without explicit confirmation?
- [ ] Is state recoverable? (Can the user get back to where they were?)
### C6 Composability
- [ ] Does this component/function do one thing?
- [ ] Is the boundary (props/args/return) explicit and typed?
- [ ] Can this be reused in a new context without modification?
### C7 Observability
- [ ] Are there logs for significant events?
- [ ] Do errors carry enough context to debug? (request ID, user, action)
- [ ] Are there metrics for the operation? (count, latency)
- [ ] Are there no secrets in logs?
### C8 Economy
- [ ] Is memory bounded? (No unbounded growth, no loading everything)
- [ ] Is time bounded? (No N+1, no blocking without timeout)
- [ ] Are resources released? (file handles, connections, locks)
## Domain-Specific Triggers
If the task touches a domain, run that domain's checklist:
### If UI/UX (see `domains/uiux/`)
- [ ] Every interactive element is keyboard-reachable
- [ ] Every image has alt text (or marked decorative)
- [ ] Every form control has a label
- [ ] Focus is visible
- [ ] No color-only information
- [ ] Components use design tokens, not raw values
### If API (see `domains/api/`)
- [ ] Endpoints are nouns, plural, lowercase-hyphenated
- [ ] Status codes are correct (200/201/204/4xx/5xx per semantics)
- [ ] Errors are structured (code, message, request_id)
- [ ] Input is validated against a schema
- [ ] Auth is required by default
### If Security (see `domains/security/`)
- [ ] No secrets in code, logs, URLs, or error messages
- [ ] Input is validated at the boundary
- [ ] Output is encoded for its context
- [ ] Crypto uses vetted libraries (no MD5/SHA1 for security)
- [ ] Authorization is checked, not assumed
### If Data (see `domains/data/`)
- [ ] Schema reflects the domain (not the application)
- [ ] Constraints are in the schema (NOT NULL, UNIQUE, FK)
- [ ] Migration has an `up` and a `down`
- [ ] Types are domain-accurate (UUID, TIMESTAMPTZ, DECIMAL for money)
- [ ] No `SELECT *`; no N+1
### If Testing (see `domains/testing/`)
- [ ] Tests are independent (order doesn't matter)
- [ ] Tests are deterministic (no `Date.now()`, no `random()`)
- [ ] Edge cases are covered (empty, single, max, invalid)
- [ ] A failing test names the problem specifically
### If Performance (see `domains/performance/`)
- [ ] No unbounded operations (loops, allocations, queries)
- [ ] No N+1 queries
- [ ] Every external call has a timeout
- [ ] Caches have invalidation strategies
### If Observability (see `domains/observability/`)
- [ ] Logs are structured (JSON, fields)
- [ ] Every request has a correlation ID
- [ ] No high-cardinality labels in metrics
- [ ] Alerts have runbooks
### If Errors (see `domains/errors/`)
- [ ] Errors are not swallowed silently
- [ ] Errors are specific (not generic "something went wrong")
- [ ] Errors preserve context (where, when, why, what)
- [ ] Recovery is attempted when possible; fail fast when not
### If Concurrency (see `domains/concurrency/`)
- [ ] Shared state is minimized; immutability preferred
- [ ] Locks are minimal in scope
- [ ] Queues are bounded
- [ ] Every blocking call has a timeout
- [ ] Cancellation is supported
### If DevOps (see `domains/devops/`)
- [ ] The pipeline is the process (no manual steps)
- [ ] Rollback path is known
- [ ] Config is in code, not on the server
- [ ] Environments are parity (dev = prod modulo data)
## Final Gate
- [ ] Have I read the relevant domain's first-principles?
- [ ] Have I run the domain-specific checklist?
- [ ] Have I run the core checklist?
- [ ] Are all failures either fixed or explicitly justified in the task notes?
If any unchecked item is not justified, the task is not complete. Do not mark done.

# Anti-Patterns
> A catalog of violations. Each entry names the principle it breaches. Use this to recognize and reject patterns on sight.

# Peer Review Checklist
> For human reviewers. Run this when reviewing a PR or a change. Complements `agent-checklist.md` (which the author ran before finishing).
## Purpose
A peer review is a second set of eyes on correctness, clarity, and completeness. It is not a gatekeeping ritual; it is a quality multiplier. The author ran the agent checklist; the reviewer checks what the author could not see.
## The Review
### Understanding (read first, judge never)
- [ ] Read the PR description. What is the change trying to do?
- [ ] Read the linked issue/spec. Does the change address it?
- [ ] Read the changed files in order. Do not jump to judgment.
### Correctness (C1)
- [ ] Does the change do what it claims?
- [ ] Are there edge cases the author missed? (Comment, don't fix in review)
- [ ] Are there failure cases unhandled?
- [ ] Are the tests testing the right thing? (A test that cannot fail is theater)
- [ ] Would this code fail in production? (Different from "does it pass CI")
### Clarity (C2)
- [ ] Can you understand the change without asking the author?
- [ ] Are names intent-revealing?
- [ ] Is there a comment that explains *why* where the *why* is non-obvious?
- [ ] Is the diff minimal? (Unrelated changes are review noise)
### Simplicity (C3)
- [ ] Is there dead code introduced?
- [ ] Is there premature abstraction?
- [ ] Could the change be simpler? (Suggest, don't block unless egregious)
- [ ] Is there a simpler approach the author may not have considered?
### Locality (C4)
- [ ] Are related changes grouped?
- [ ] Are unrelated changes separated (different PRs)?
- [ ] Does a change require touching distant files unnecessarily?
### Reversibility (C5)
- [ ] Is the change undoable?
- [ ] Are there migrations? Do they have rollbacks?
- [ ] Are there breaking changes? If so, is there a deprecation path?
### Composability (C6)
- [ ] Does the change respect existing boundaries?
- [ ] Does it introduce coupling that should be an interface?
- [ ] Is the new code reusable, or one-off?
### Observability (C7)
- [ ] Are there logs/metrics for the new behavior?
- [ ] Are errors structured and traceable?
- [ ] Are there no secrets in logs?
### Economy (C8)
- [ ] Are there unbounded operations?
- [ ] Is memory/time bounded?
- [ ] Is the cost proportional to the need?
## Domain-Specific (if applicable)
Run the relevant domain section from `agent-checklist.md` (UI/UX, API, Security, Data, Testing, Performance, Observability, Errors, Concurrency, DevOps). The author ran it; the reviewer verifies.
## Review Etiquette
- **Comment, don't command.** "This could be X" not "Change this to X."
- **Distinguish blocking from suggestions.** "Blocking: correctness bug. Suggestion: naming."
- **Praise good code.** Reviews are not just for finding problems.
- **Don't review style the linter should catch.** Fix the linter, not the PR.
- **Ask questions.** "Why this approach?" often reveals more than "This is wrong."
## Approving
- Approve when: the change is correct, clear, and complete. Minor suggestions can be left for the author.
- Request changes when: there is a correctness bug, a missing test, or a clarity problem that blocks understanding.
- Reject when: the change should not exist (wrong direction, duplicate, scope-violating).
## What This Checklist is Not
- Not a style guide. Style is automated (linter, formatter).
- Not a gatekeeping tool. The goal is quality, not perfection.
- Not a substitute for the author's own checklist. The author runs `agent-checklist.md` first; this is the second pass.
