• Senior: objective, business logic, tables, dependencies, risks.
• Funcional: what it does, when it runs, what data it reads/changes, business rules, module impact.
• Never invent behavior not present in the code — only describe what is actually implemented.
• Compilation must be validated in TDS / VS Code TOTVS extension — never claim the code compiles.
