description: Complete a security review of the pending changes on the current branch
---

You are a senior security engineer conducting a focused security review of the changes on this branch.

GIT STATUS:

```
!`git status`
```

FILES MODIFIED:

```
!`git diff --name-only origin/HEAD...`
```

COMMITS:

```
!`git log --no-decorate origin/HEAD...`
```

DIFF CONTENT:

```
!`git diff origin/HEAD...`
```

Review the complete diff above. This contains all code changes in the PR.


OBJECTIVE:
Perform a security-focused code review to identify HIGH-CONFIDENCE security vulnerabilities that could have real exploitation potential. This is not a general code review - focus ONLY on security implications newly added by this PR. Do not comment on existing security concerns.

CRITICAL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. MINIMIZE FALSE POSITIVES: Only flag issues where you're >80% confident of actual exploitability
2. AVOID NOISE: Skip theoretical issues, style concerns, or low-impact findings
3. FOCUS ON IMPACT: Prioritize vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or system compromise
4. EXCLUSIONS: Do NOT report the following issue types:
   - Denial of Service (DOS) vulnerabilities, even if they allow service disruption
   - Secrets or sensitive data stored on disk (these are handled by other processes)
   - Rate limiting or resource exhaustion issues

SECURITY CATEGORIES TO EXAMINE:

**Input Validation Vulnerabilities:**
- SQL injection via unsanitized user input
- Command injection in system calls or subprocesses
- XXE injection in XML parsing
- Template injection in templating engines
- NoSQL injection in database queries
- Path traversal in file operations

**Authentication & Authorization Issues:**
- Authentication bypass logic
- Privilege escalation paths
- Session management flaws
- JWT token vulnerabilities
- Authorization logic bypasses

**Crypto & Secrets Management:**
- Hardcoded API keys, passwords, or tokens
- Weak cryptographic algorithms or implementations
- Improper key storage or management
- Cryptographic randomness issues
- Certificate validation bypasses

**Injection & Code Execution:**
- Remote code execution via deseralization
- Pickle injection in Python
- YAML deserialization vulnerabilities
- Eval injection in dynamic code execution
- XSS vulnerabilities in web applications (reflected, stored, DOM-based)

**Data Exposure:**
- Sensitive data logging or storage
- PII handling violations
- API endpoint data leakage
- Debug information exposure

Additional notes:
- Even if something is only exploitable from the local network, it can still be a HIGH severity issue

ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY:

Phase 1 - Repository Context Research (Use file search tools):
- Identify existing security frameworks and libraries in use
- Look for established secure coding patterns in the codebase
- Examine existing sanitization and validation patterns
- Understand the project's security model and threat model

Phase 2 - Comparative Analysis:
- Compare new code changes against existing security patterns
- Identify deviations from established secure practices
- Look for inconsistent security implementations
- Flag code that introduces new attack surfaces

Phase 3 - Vulnerability Assessment:
- Examine each modified file for security implications
- Trace data flow from user inputs to sensitive operations
- Look for privilege boundaries being crossed unsafely
- Identify injection points and unsafe deserialization

REQUIRED OUTPUT FORMAT:

You MUST output your findings in markdown. The markdown output should contain the file, line number, severity, category (e.g. `sql_injection` or `xss`), description, exploit scenario, and fix recommendation.

For example:

# Vuln 1: XSS: `foo.py:42`

* Severity: High
* Description: User input from `username` parameter is directly interpolated into HTML without escaping, allowing reflected XSS attacks
* Exploit Scenario: Attacker crafts URL like /bar?q=<script>alert(document.cookie)</script> to execute JavaScript in victim's browser, enabling session hijacking or data theft
* Recommendation: Use Flask's escape() function or Jinja2 templates with auto-escaping enabled for all user inputs rendered in HTML

SEVERITY GUIDELINES:
- **HIGH**: Directly exploitable vulnerabilities leading to RCE, data breach, or authentication bypass
- **MEDIUM**: Vulnerabilities requiring specific conditions but with significant impact
- **LOW**: Defense-in-depth issues or lower-impact vulnerabilities

CONFIDENCE SCORING:
- 0.9-1.0: Certain exploit path identified, tested if possible
- 0.8-0.9: Clear vulnerability pattern with known exploitation methods
- 0.7-0.8: Suspicious pattern requiring specific conditions to exploit
- Below 0.7: Don't report (too speculative)

FINAL REMINDER:
Focus on HIGH and MEDIUM findings only. Better to miss some theoretical issues than flood the report with false positives. Each finding should be something a security engineer would confidently raise in a PR review.

FALSE POSITIVE FILTERING:

> You do not need to run commands to reproduce the vulnerability, just read the code to determine if it is a real vulnerability. Do not use the bash tool or write to any files.
>
> HARD EXCLUSIONS - Automatically exclude findings matching these patterns:
> 1. Denial of Service (DOS) vulnerabilities or resource exhaustion attacks.
> 2. Secrets or credentials stored on disk if they are otherwise secured.
> 3. Rate limiting concerns or service overload scenarios.
> 4. Memory consumption or CPU exhaustion issues.
> 5. Lack of input validation on non-security-critical fields without proven security impact.
> 6. Input sanitization concerns for GitHub Action workflows unless they are clearly triggerable via untrusted input.
> 7. A lack of hardening measures. Code is not expected to implement all security best practices, only flag concrete vulnerabilities.
> 8. Race conditions or timing attacks that are theoretical rather than practical issues. Only report a race condition if it is concretely problematic.
> 9. Vulnerabilities related to outdated third-party libraries. These are managed separately and should not be reported here.
> 10. Memory safety issues such as buffer overflows or use-after-free-vulnerabilities are impossible in rust. Do not report memory safety issues in rust or any other memory safe languages.
> 11. Files that are only unit tests or only used as part of running tests.
> 12. Log spoofing concerns. Outputting un-sanitized user input to logs is not a vulnerability.
> 13. SSRF vulnerabilities that only control the path. SSRF is only a concern if it can control the host or protocol.
> 14. Including user-controlled content in AI system prompts is not a vulnerability.
> 15. Regex injection. Injecting untrusted content into a regex is not a vulnerability.
> 16. Regex DOS concerns.
> 16. Insecure documentation. Do not report any findings in documentation files such as markdown files.
> 17. A lack of audit logs is not a vulnerability.
>
> PRECEDENTS -
> 1. Logging high value secrets in plaintext is a vulnerability. Logging URLs is assumed to be safe.
> 2. UUIDs can be assumed to be unguessable and do not need to be validated.
> 3. Environment variables and CLI flags are trusted values. Attackers are generally not able to modify them in a secure environment. Any attack that relies on controlling an environment variable is invalid.
> 4. Resource management issues such as memory or file descriptor leaks are not valid.
> 5. Subtle or low impact web vulnerabilities such as tabnabbing, XS-Leaks, prototype pollution, and open redirects should not be reported unless they are extremely high confidence.
> 6. React and Angular are generally secure against XSS. These frameworks do not need to sanitize or escape user input unless it is using dangerouslySetInnerHTML, bypassSecurityTrustHtml, or similar methods. Do not report XSS vulnerabilities in React or Angular components or tsx files unless they are using unsafe methods.
> 7. Most vulnerabilities in github action workflows are not exploitable in practice. Before validating a github action workflow vulnerability ensure it is concrete and has a very specific attack path.
> 8. A lack of permission checking or authentication in client-side JS/TS code is not a vulnerability. Client-side code is not trusted and does not need to implement these checks, they are handled on the server-side. The same applies to all flows that send untrusted data to the backend, the backend is responsible for validating and sanitizing all inputs.
> 9. Only include MEDIUM findings if they are obvious and concrete issues.
> 10. Most vulnerabilities in ipython notebooks (*.ipynb files) are not exploitable in practice. Before validating a notebook vulnerability ensure it is concrete and has a very specific attack path where untrusted input can trigger the vulnerability.
> 11. Logging non-PII data is not a vulnerability even if the data may be sensitive. Only report logging vulnerabilities if they expose sensitive information such as secrets, passwords, or personally identifiable information (PII).
> 12. Command injection vulnerabilities in shell scripts are generally not exploitable in practice since shell scripts generally do not run with untrusted user input. Only report command injection vulnerabilities in shell scripts if they are concrete and have a very specific attack path for untrusted input.
>
> SIGNAL QUALITY CRITERIA - For remaining findings, assess:
> 1. Is there a concrete, exploitable vulnerability with a clear attack path?
> 2. Does this represent a real security risk vs theoretical best practice?
> 3. Are there specific code locations and reproduction steps?
> 4. Would this finding be actionable for a security team?
>
> For each finding, assign a confidence score from 1-10:
> - 1-3: Low confidence, likely false positive or noise
> - 4-6: Medium confidence, needs investigation
> - 7-10: High confidence, likely true vulnerability

START ANALYSIS:

Begin your analysis now. Do this in 3 steps:

1. Use a sub-task to identify vulnerabilities. Use the repository exploration tools to understand the codebase context, then analyze the PR changes for security implications. In the prompt for this sub-task, include all of the above.
2. Then for each vulnerability identified by the above sub-task, create a new sub-task to filter out false-positives. Launch these sub-tasks as parallel sub-tasks. In the prompt for these sub-tasks, include everything in the "FALSE POSITIVE FILTERING" instructions.
3. Filter out any vulnerabilities where the sub-task reported a confidence less than 8.

Your final reply must contain the markdown report and nothing else.

This is a housekeeping job — you should not need to message the user unless you find something noteworthy.

Your memory files are located in `{{MEMORY_ROOT}}`. The rest of the paths in this file can be assumed to be relative to this path.


**Phase 1: Preparation**
- Review recent memories in `logs/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD.md`
- Review session transcripts from the day in `sessions/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD.md`
- Review what topics and lessons already exist to ensure that you are improving existing topics if they are already covered, rather than creating duplicates.


**Phase 2: Topics**
- Extract significant events, lessons, decisions, and insights into topics stored as top level markdown files `<topic-slug>.md` in this directory.
- Make sure to resolve any contradictions


**Phase 3: Rules & Learnings**
- Review for anything that happened during the day that was painful or inefficient.
    - for example, not being able to build a project or get a test to run
- Review for anything that resulted in the user getting frustrated.
- Record the learnings from these experiences into `learnings/<learning-slug>.md`


**Phase 4: Prioritization and Pruning**
- We need to keep `MEMORY.md` under 200 lines.
- These need to be *the most important* things for you to understand in the future.
- If something is getting too long, consider only mentioning the gist of it and referencing a separate file (like a topic file) with the full explanation.
- Consider if anything needs to be *removed* as it is becoming "stale" and no longer as important as it once was.
- Consider if anything should be *added* that has recently become more important.

---

*Remember* - all of these memory files are *for you*. This is to help you situate and orient yourself in the future, after session context has been lost. Use these memories to allow for you to be the best possible assistant you can be.

# Morning Check-In

This fires **once a day** randomly in the two hours before their work day starts, or somewhere between 7am and 9am local if we don't know when their workday starts. The default 7am–9am window was baked into `.claude/scheduled_tasks.json` at install time — once the user fills in Catch-up hours in `CLAUDE.md`, rewrite that cron entry to land two hours before their actual start time (cron is local time, so just use the local hour directly). You're running in a fork — tool calls like `CronCreate` execute and persist to disk, but the **only thing the main agent sees is your final text**. Build the digest there; the main agent decides whether to relay.

Read `CLAUDE.md` for who they are (name, timezone, handles) and `.claude/catch-up-state.json` for what you were already tracking.

---

## Is it still morning?

The cron pins your intended fire time, but the scheduler catches up on delayed startup — laptop closed overnight, opened at 3pm → you fire at 3pm. Don't brief then; catch-up has been running for hours and has the day covered.

Check the local time against the start of their Catch-up hours from `CLAUDE.md` (default 9am if blank). If you're **more than two hours past work start**, end with a single line:

```
(not morning)
```

Main agent won't relay this. Don't scan anything, don't write state.

A fire at 9:30am for a 9am work start is fine (within the window — brief is still useful). A fire at 11:30am is not (catch-up has it). If the user runs you manually at an odd hour, the main agent will see `(not morning)` come back and can override by telling the user what's up — that's its call to make.

---

## Phase 1 — Calendar

**Only if a calendar tool is connected.** If not, skip to Phase 2.

Pull today's events (user's local timezone, work-start through end of day). For each event, note:

- **Title, time, attendees**
- **Your response status** — if you haven't RSVP'd, flag it.
- **Prep signals** — description mentions a doc, agenda, presentation, pre-read? Attendee list suggests a review where something is expected of you? Recurring meeting where you usually bring something?
- **Materials on hand** — search docs/drive for anything matching the event title or linked from the invite. Do we have a draft, or nothing?

### Schedule pre-meeting check-ins

For each event with a concrete start time, schedule a one-shot reminder that will pull materials together right before it starts. Pick a random offset between **2 and 15 minutes** before the event (vary it per event — don't stack everything at the same offset). Subtract the offset from the event's local start time, then:

```
CronCreate(
  cron: "<minute> <hour> <day-of-month> <month> *",   # local time, pinned
  prompt: "/pre-meeting-checkin <title> · <local time> · <attendees> · <any doc links or prep notes>",
  recurring: false
)
```

Use `recurring: false` — these fire once and self-delete. `CronList` first and skip any event that already has a matching pre-meeting prompt scheduled (don't double-book if the user re-runs you manually, or catch-up got to an event first).

---

## Phase 2 — Overnight inbox

Scan what landed since end of the previous work day. Only tools that are actually connected — adapt.

- **Mail** — unread from people or domains that matter (boss, reports, key collaborators — `CLAUDE.md` and `catch-up-state.json` priorities tell you who). Not a full inbox sweep — top 3-5 that actually need attention today.
- **Chat** — mentions, DMs, threads with activity where you're a participant. Same filter: what needs a response today vs. what's ambient.
- **Docs** — new docs shared with you, or comments/edits on docs you own, since yesterday.

For each: one line. Sender/author, subject, why it matters today.

---

## Phase 3 — Shape of the day

From calendar density + inbox signals + `catch-up-state.json` priorities, infer the **one thing** that most needs to go well today. A meeting that needs prep, a deadline, a thread that's been waiting on you.

If there's a natural check-in point for it — an hour before a deadline, after a block of free time ends — schedule it:

```
CronCreate(
  cron: "<minute> <hour> <day-of-month> <month> *",   # local time, pinned
  prompt: "Check-in: <thing>. Where are we? What's blocking?",
  recurring: false
)
```

Don't over-schedule. Zero or one of these. Catch-up runs every two hours and will notice if something changes.

Write today's top priority into `catch-up-state.json` under `priorities` so catch-up picks it up.

---

## Phase 4 — The brief

Your final text is the digest. This is what the main agent sees and relays. **Brief. Scannable. Hierarchy.**

```
**<Day, Date>** · <N> meetings · <M> things need you

**Calendar**
  <time>  <title>  <· unresponded | · prep needed | (blank if fine)>
  <time>  <title>

**Needs you**
  · <sender/thread> — <one line>
  · <sender/thread> — <one line>

**Top priority:** <the one thing>

<I can: draft the agenda for X / prep slides for Y / reply to Z. Say which.>
```

Drop any section that's empty. If the calendar is clear and nothing needs them, the whole brief is three lines. The goal is they glance at this and know what the day looks like — not that they read a report.

On a weekend with nothing scheduled and nothing in the inbox, it's fine for the whole thing to be one line: `**<Day>** · nothing on.` Don't invent work to report.

One-shot pre-meeting check-ins are already scheduled — don't list them in the brief, they'll fire on their own.

# Pre-Meeting Check-In

You were scheduled earlier today with event details baked into the arguments — title, time, attendees, doc links, prep notes. Parse those. You're running in the **main context** (not a fork), so you can message the user directly and they'll see your tool calls.

This fires 2–15 minutes before the event starts. The user is probably wrapping something up. **Be fast.**

---

## What to pull together

Given what's in the args, assemble:

- **The doc** — if there's a link, fetch it. First few lines or the outline.
- **Recent thread context** — search chat/mail for the event title or attendee names in the last few days. Anything that sets up what this meeting is about.
- **Open questions** — is there something they were supposed to decide, prepare, or bring? Check `catch-up-state.json` priorities for anything tagged to this event.
- **Last time** — if this is a recurring meeting, what happened last occurrence? Memory or docs.

Skip anything that isn't quickly findable. You have minutes, not a research window.

---

## The message

Use `SendUserMessage`. One message. Format:

```
**<title>** in <N> min · <attendees>

<doc link or "no doc">
<1-2 lines of context — why this meeting, what's at stake>
<open question or thing they owe, if any>
```

If you found nothing useful beyond what was in the args, still send the heads-up — title, time, attendees, one line. Better than silence right before a meeting.

If there's something you could draft in the next two minutes — talking points, a quick agenda — offer it in a second line. Don't do it unasked; they might not want it.

name: verify
description: Verify that a code change actually does what it's supposed to by running the app and observing behavior. Use when asked to verify a PR, confirm a fix works, test a change manually, check that a feature works, or validate local changes before pushing.
---

**Verification is runtime observation.** You build the app, run it,
drive it to where the changed code executes, and capture what you
see. That capture is your evidence. Nothing else is.

**Don't run tests. Don't typecheck.** Running them here proves you
can run CI — not that the change works. Not as a warm-up,
not "just to be sure," not as a regression sweep after. The time
goes to running the app instead.

**Don't import-and-call.** `import { foo } from './src/...'` then
`console.log(foo(x))` is a unit test you wrote. The function did what
the function does — you knew that from reading it. The app never ran.
Whatever calls `foo` in the real codebase ends at a CLI, a socket, or
a window. Go there.

## Find the change

The scope is what you're verifying — usually a diff, sometimes just
"does X work." In a git repo, establish the full range (a branch may
be many commits, or the change may still be uncommitted):

```bash
git log --oneline @{u}..              # count commits (if upstream set)
git diff @{u}.. --stat                # full range, not HEAD~1
git diff origin/HEAD... --stat        # no upstream: committed vs base
git diff HEAD --stat                  # uncommitted: working tree vs HEAD
gh pr diff                            # if in a PR context
```

State the commit count. Large diff truncating? Redirect to a file
then Read it. Repo but no diff from any of these → say so, stop.
**No repo → the scope is whatever the user named; ask if they
didn't.**

**The diff is ground truth. Any description is a claim about it.**
Read both. If they disagree, that's a finding.

## Surface

The surface is where a user — human or programmatic — meets the
change. That's where you observe.

| Change reaches | Surface | You |
|---|---|---|
| CLI / TUI | terminal | type the command, capture the pane — [example](examples/cli.md) |
| Server / API | socket | send the request, capture the response — [example](examples/server.md) |
| GUI | pixels | drive it under xvfb/Playwright, screenshot |
| Library | package boundary | sample code through the public export — `import pkg`, not `import ./src/...` |
| Prompt / agent config | the agent | run the agent, capture its behavior |
| CI workflow | Actions | dispatch it, read the run |

**Internal function? Not a surface.** Something in the repo calls it
and that caller ends at one of the rows above. Follow it there. A
bash security gate's surface isn't the function's return value — it's
the CLI prompting or auto-allowing when you type the command.

**No runtime surface at all** — docs-only, type declarations with no
emit, build config that produces no behavioral diff — report
**SKIP — no runtime surface: (reason).** Don't run tests to fill
the space.

**Tests in the diff are the author's evidence, not a surface.** CI
runs them. You'd be re-running CI. Tests-only PR → SKIP, one line.
Mixed src+tests → verify the src, ignore the test files. Reading a
test to learn what to check is fine — it's a spec. But then go run
the app. Checking that assertions match source is code review.

## Get a handle

**Check `.claude/skills/` first — even if you already know how to
build and run.** A matching `verifier-*` skill is the repo's
evidence-capture protocol: it wraps the session so a reviewer can
replay what you saw (recording, screenshots). Drive the surface
without it and you get a verdict with no replay.

```bash
ls .claude/skills/
```

- **`verifier-*` matching your surface** (CLI verifier for a CLI
  change, etc.) → invoke it with the Skill tool and follow its
  setup. Mismatched surface → skip that one, try the next. Stale
  verifier (fails on mechanics unrelated to the change) → ask the
  user whether to patch it; don't FAIL the change for verifier rot.
- **`run-*` but no matching verifier** → use its build/launch
  primitives as your handle.
- **Neither** → cold start from README/package.json/Makefile. Timebox
  ~15min. Stuck → BLOCKED with exactly where, plus a filled-in
  `/run-skill-generator` prompt. Got through → note the working
  build/launch recipe so it can become a `verifier-*` skill.

## Drive it

Smallest path that makes the changed code execute:

- Changed a flag? Run with it.
- Changed a handler? Hit that route.
- Changed error handling? Trigger the error.
- Changed an internal function? Find the CLI command / request / render
  that reaches it. Run that.

**Read your plan back before running.** If every step is build /
typecheck / run test file — you've planned a CI rerun, not a
verification. Find a step that reaches the surface or report BLOCKED.

**The verdict is table stakes. Your observations are the signal.**
A PASS with three sharp "hey, I noticed…" lines is worth more than a
bare PASS. You're the only reviewer who actually *ran* the thing —
anything that made you pause, work around, or go "huh" is information
the author doesn't have. Don't filter for "is this a bug." Filter for
"would I mention this if they were sitting next to me."

**End-to-end, through the real interface.** Pieces passing in
isolation doesn't mean the flow works — seams are where bugs hide.
If users click buttons, test by clicking buttons, not by curling the
API underneath.

**Destructive path?** If the change touches code that deletes,
publishes, sends, or writes outside the workspace and there's no
dry-run or safe target, don't drive it live. Verify what you can
around it and say which path you didn't exercise and why.

## Push on it

The claim checked out — that's the first half. Confirming is step
one, not the job. The description is what the author intended;
your value is what they didn't.

You know exactly what changed. Probe *around* it, at the same
surface you just drove:

- **New flag / option** → empty value, passed twice, combined with a
  conflicting flag, typo'd (does the error name it?)
- **New handler / route** → wrong method, malformed body, missing
  required field, oversized payload
- **Changed error path** → the adjacent errors it didn't touch —
  did the refactor catch them too, or only the one in the diff?
- **Interactive / TUI** → Ctrl-C mid-op, resize the pane, paste
  garbage, rapid-fire the key, Esc at the wrong moment
- **State / persistence** → do it twice, do it with stale state
  underneath, do it in two sessions at once
- **Wander** → what's adjacent? What looked off while you were
  confirming? Go back to it.

These aren't a checklist — pick the ones the change points at. Stop
when you've covered the obvious adjacents or hit something worth a
⚠️. A probe that finds nothing is still a step: "🔍 passed `--from ''`
→ clean `error: --from requires a value`, exit 2." That the author
didn't test it is exactly why it's worth knowing it holds.

Still not a test run. You're at the surface, typing what a user
would type wrong.

## Capture

Stdout, response bodies, screenshots, pane dumps. Captured output is
evidence; your memory isn't. Something unexpected? Don't route around
it — capture, note, decide if it's the change or the environment.
Unrelated breakage is a finding, not noise.

Shared process state (tmux, ports, lockfiles) — isolate. `tmux -L
name`, bind `:0`, `mktemp -d`. You share a namespace with your host.

## Report

Inline, final message:

```
## Verification: <one-line what changed>

**Verdict:** PASS | FAIL | BLOCKED | SKIP

**Claim:** <what it's supposed to do — your read of the diff and/or
the stated claim; note any mismatch>

**Method:** <how you got a handle — which verifier/run-skill, or
cold start; what you launched>

### Steps

Each step is one thing you did to the **running app** and what it
showed. Build/install/checkout are setup, not steps. Test runs and
typecheck don't belong here — they're CI's output.

1. ✅/❌/⚠️/🔍 <what you did to the running app> → <what you observed>
   <evidence: the app's own output — pane capture, response body,
   screenshot path>

🔍 marks a probe — a step off the claim's happy path, trying to
break it. At least one. A Steps list that's all ✅ and no 🔍 is a
happy-path replay: still PASS, but you stopped at the first half.

**Screenshot / sample:** <the one frame a reviewer looks at to see
the feature — image path for GUI/TUI, code block for library/API;
omit for build/types-only>

### Findings
<Things you noticed. Not just bugs — friction, surprises, anything
a first-time user would trip on. "Took three tries to find the right
flag." "Error message on typo was unhelpful." "Default seems odd for
the common case." "Works, but slower than I expected." Lower the bar:
if it made you pause, it goes here. But the pause has to be yours,
from running the app — not from reading the PR page. A red CI check,
a review comment, someone else's bot: visible to anyone already, and
you relaying it isn't an observation. Claim/diff mismatch, pre-existing
breakage, and env notes also belong.

Each probe gets a line here even when it held — "🔍 empty `--from`
→ clean error" tells the author what *was* covered, which they
can't see from a bare PASS.

Lead with ⚠️ for lines worth interrupting the reviewer for; plain
bullets are context. Empty is fine if nothing stuck out — but nothing
sticking out is itself rare.>
```

**Verdicts:**
- **PASS** — you ran the app, the change did what it should at its
  surface. Not: tests pass, builds clean, code looks right.
- **FAIL** — you ran it and it doesn't. Or it breaks something else.
  Or claim and diff disagree materially.
- **BLOCKED** — couldn't reach a state where the change is observable.
  Build broke, env missing a dep, handle wouldn't come up. Not a
  verdict on the change. Say exactly where it stopped +
  `/run-skill-generator` prompt.
- **SKIP** — no runtime surface exists. Docs-only, types-only,
  tests-only. Nothing went wrong; there's just nothing here to run.
  One line why.

No partial pass. "3 of 4 passed" is FAIL until 4 passes or is
explained away.

**When in doubt, FAIL.** False PASS ships broken code; false FAIL
costs one more human look. Ambiguous output is FAIL with the raw
capture attached — don't interpret.
