Review Increment

One review surface (it replaces the old grill / code-reviewer / judge-llm passes). Reads the increment's spec, its diff and the code around it, then reports what is actually wrong — with path:line for every claim. Writes reports/review.md + reports/review.json under the increment. specweave complete prints a notice when review.md is absent but never blocks.

Usage

sw:review <increment-id>            # single adversarial pass
sw:review <increment-id> --full     # 3 parallel lenses: correctness, security, spec-compliance

Rules

1. Fresh context. The session that wrote the code never approves it. Run the pass through a subagent (Claude Code: Task({ subagent_type: "general-purpose", … })) or a new session in any other tool. If you wrote this code in this context and cannot spawn one, say so in the report instead of claiming an independent review.
2. Every finding cites path:line and states a concrete failure: inputs or state → wrong output, crash, data loss, or leak. No "consider refactoring", no style opinions.
3. Re-verify before reporting. Re-open the cited lines — and run the test that would fail — and drop anything that does not survive. A wrong finding costs more than a missed one. Unverifiable but plausible findings are reported as plausible, not as fact.
4. Severity: critical / high / medium / low. Only critical and high are blocking.
5. Nit cap 5. At most five low findings; if there are more, report the five worst and one line saying how many were dropped.
6. Scope is the increment's diff, not the repository: git diff $(git merge-base HEAD <base>)...HEAD -- <the tasks' Files>.

Steps

1. Scope: read spec.md (ACs + Approach) and the Files: fields in tasks.md. Collect the diff for those files plus the code they call.
2. Pass — in this order:
   • correctness: wrong logic, unhandled error paths, races, off-by-one, resource leaks;
   • security: injection, path traversal, secret leakage, missing authz, unsafe spawn/exec;
   • spec-compliance: ACs marked done but not implemented, tests that assert nothing, behaviour that contradicts spec.md. With --full, run those three as parallel subagents and merge their findings (dedupe by file:line + summary).
3. Verify each candidate finding as per rule 3.
4. Report: write both files (shapes below).
5. Hand back: fix critical/high findings yourself or hand them to sw:do, then re-run specweave verify <id> and close with sw:done.
