From 55c173ce8eee030a20bcbf9b30415f467c74a75e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Noah Lindner Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 13:43:09 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Verify checkable claims against the checkout before asserting them A refactor that moved an import between files drew a confidently-wrong 'won't typecheck' finding: the reviewer inferred a missing symbol from the diff surface instead of opening the file that still imported it. Fold one general rule into the precision step (verify what you can check before flagging it) and let it open any file, not just changed ones. --- .review/REVIEW-PROMPT.md | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/.review/REVIEW-PROMPT.md b/.review/REVIEW-PROMPT.md index e86cb44..2a841af 100644 --- a/.review/REVIEW-PROMPT.md +++ b/.review/REVIEW-PROMPT.md @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ Run these steps: 1.
