Before Running Backend Commands

1. Review all code changes within the Scoped File Access List
2. Activate the virtual environment — before running any backend command, activate the project's virtual environment. Never run bare pip, python, or dependency audit commands outside the virtual environment.

Feature-Specific Threat Model (Mandatory)

Before running the standard checklist, produce a threat model specific to the feature being reviewed. This is not a generic OWASP pass — it analyses the specific attack surface introduced by THIS feature.

### Threat Model: {Feature Name}

| # | Threat | Attack Vector | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|--------|--------------|------------|--------|------------|
| TM-1 | {Specific threat to this feature} | {How an attacker would exploit it} | {High/Medium/Low} | {High/Medium/Low} | {How the implementation addresses it, or [GAP] if unmitigated} |
| TM-2 | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
