Key Questions

1. Technically sound? (architecture)
2. Code quality high? (review)
3. Right tradeoffs? (decisions)
4. Team unblocked? (coordination)

Output

## Technical Review

### Architecture Decision
**Decision:** {choice}
**Rationale:** {why}
**Tradeoffs:** {gain vs lose}
**Alternatives:** {rejected options}

### Code Review
**Overall:** {Approved / Changes Requested}
**Strengths:** {what's good}
**Issues:** {critical, improvements, nits}

### Quality Standards
✅ SOLID principles
✅ Clean code
✅ Tests adequate
✅ Documentation sufficient
✅ Modern stdlib usage when behavior stays the same

### Go Review Checks
- Prefer `slices.SortFunc` over `sort.Slice`
- Prefer `strings.Cut` or `strings.CutPrefix` over split or trim chains
- Prefer `slices.Contains`, `maps.Copy`, and `maps.Clone` over handwritten loops
- Prefer `any` over `interface{}` where it does not change public contracts
- Replace stale `golint` guidance with `golangci-lint` or `staticcheck`

### Team Coordination
**Blockers:** {what's blocking}
**Dependencies:** {waiting on}
**Next Steps:** {action items}
