Code Review
This pull request updates the PR review guidelines and evaluation criteria to specify that boundary-crossing or structural refactors, while classified as MEDIUM-risk, are not eligible for auto-approval and must be escalated for human and architectural review. It also adds a triage test case to verify this behavior. The review feedback suggests adding a corresponding deep-review test case to ensure comprehensive test coverage, and updating the allowed reason_codes schema in prompts/shared.md to include a specific reason code for this escalation path.

Risk: MEDIUM
Reviewed commit: 060669948caa26cc342a531fbf8f0e7ce33ea55e
Review mode: triage-approved (single reviewer)
Summary
Reclassifies boundary-crossing refactors out of the auto-approvable MEDIUM tier in prompts/shared.md (new decision gate 7), updates the mirrored taxonomy in evals/judge.md in lockstep, and adds one holdout eval case (triage-boundary-refactor-escalate) locking the new escalate behavior. 3 files, +15/-3 — exactly the surgical scope issue #1632 mandated.
Linked issue analysis
Closes #1632. All four acceptance criteria are substantively met: (1) the 'Refactors crossing module boundaries' bullet is removed from the auto-approvable MEDIUM list and replaced with explicit escalate-for-architectural-review language plus decision gate 7; (2) evals/judge.md's mirrored taxonomy is updated in lockstep so grader and cascade agree; (3) a holdout case expecting escalate=true / risk=MEDIUM for a clean cross-module refactor locks the behavior against silent reversion; (4) no other risk bullets moved, no unrelated cascade changes, and review-registry.tsv is untouched as the issue required.
Findings
- No security issues: no auth/secrets/workflow/script changes; prompt and eval markdown/jsonl only. Gitleaks, CodeQL, Agent Security Scan, and SonarCloud all pass. (The run_secret_scanning MCP tool was not available in this session; gitleaks CI covers secret detection.)
- Consistency verified: shared.md gate 7, the MEDIUM-section note, judge.md taxonomy, and the new holdout case all agree (MEDIUM risk, escalate).
- Two unresolved gemini-code-assist threads (add a deep-review eval case; add a reason code to the schema) are medium-priority enhancement suggestions from a COMMENTED review, not change requests. The dev-lead agent triaged them as no-changes, and both suggestions would violate the issue's explicit AC #4 scope constraint ('keep the diff surgical'). They can be follow-ups if desired; they do not block.
- Triage assessment confirmed with one nuance: triage cleared this as low-risk; I rate it MEDIUM (it changes review-cascade decision behavior), but the change is monotonically conservative — it only converts auto-approvals into escalations — so the approval decision stands.
CI status
All required checks green: Lint, ShellCheck, bats, unit-tests, holdout-guard, CodeQL, gitleaks, SonarCloud quality gate, agent-shield, actionlint, template-drift, caller-stub-freeze, and all validators pass. CANCELLED entries (dev-lead dispatch/relay, review/review) are superseded automation runs, not failures; SKIPPED dependency-audit jobs have no matching ecosystem.

Addresses the two review findings on this PR that the previous commit did not resolve (confirmed independently by pr-review and gemini-code-assist). 1. MAJOR — decision gate 7 escalates boundary-crossing refactors, but the reason_codes enum had no code to represent it, forcing an agent to emit an inaccurate code such as `poorly-structured` or `none`. Adds `boundary-refactor` to the enum and points gate 7 at it explicitly, with the reason the distinction matters: such a PR may be perfectly well structured — it escalates because it changes system shape, not because its quality is poor. 2. MINOR — the reclassification was locked only in the triage tier. The deep tier is where MEDIUM-escalate nuance is adjudicated, so adds `deep-boundary-refactor-escalate`, mirroring the existing triage case and the `deep-*` family's shape (decision/risk/escalate_to_opus/key_findings). Verified: evals/validate-cases.py green (13 skills, 108 cases, no cross-split id overlap); markdownlint clean.

Risk: MEDIUM
Reviewed commit: 3b54aee100384dc5efe6c5b557e88f382f45211a
Review mode: triage-approved (single reviewer)
Summary
Implements issue #1632: reclassifies boundary-crossing refactors out of the auto-approvable MEDIUM tier in prompts/shared.md (new decision gate 7 with a dedicated boundary-refactor reason code), reconciles the mirrored taxonomy in evals/judge.md, and locks the behavior with matching triage- and deep-tier holdout cases. All prior review findings are resolved and every decision gate passes.
Linked issue analysis
Closes #1632. All four acceptance criteria are satisfied: (1) the 'Refactors crossing module boundaries' bullet no longer sits on the auto-approve path — gate 7 forces escalation with the boundary-refactor reason code; (2) evals/judge.md mirrors the reclassification so cascade and grader agree; (3) triage-boundary-refactor-escalate and deep-boundary-refactor-escalate holdout cases expect escalate at MEDIUM, locking against silent reversion; (4) the diff is scoped to this reclassification only (+19/-4 across 3 files).
Findings
No new findings. Prior cycle-3 findings both resolved in 3b54aee: (MAJOR) reason_codes enum now includes boundary-refactor so gate-7 escalations are no longer forced into an inaccurate poorly-structured/none code; (MINOR) the reclassification is now locked in the deep tier via deep-boundary-refactor-escalate, mirroring the deep-* case shape. Both gemini-code-assist review threads are resolved. Holdout edits are permitted here: holdout-guard restricts only the automated skill-proposer identity, and the check passed for this author. Secret-scanning MCP tool not available in this session; the gitleaks CI check is green.
CI status
All latest check runs green: shellcheck, bats, unit-tests, holdout-guard, CodeQL (actions + python), SonarCloud quality gate, gitleaks secret scan, agent-shield, actionlint, gh-aw-compile, caller-stub-freeze, template-drift, and all validate-* checks SUCCESS. CANCELLED/SKIPPED rollup entries are superseded duplicate runs of checks that succeeded on the head SHA.

Reviewed commit: 3b54aee100384dc5efe6c5b557e88f382f45211a
Review mode: triage-approved (single reviewer)
Summary
Reclassifies boundary-crossing refactors out of the auto-approvable MEDIUM tier: prompts/shared.md gains decision gate 7 and a boundary-refactor reason code, evals/judge.md mirrors the taxonomy, and two holdout eval cases (triage + deep) lock the new behavior. The change is tightly scoped to issue #1632's four acceptance criteria and makes the cascade strictly more conservative.
Linked issue analysis
Closes #1632. All four acceptance criteria are met: (1) the 'Refactors crossing module boundaries' bullet is removed from the auto-approvable MEDIUM list and replaced with an explicit escalate rule plus decision gate 7; (2) the mirrored taxonomy in evals/judge.md is reconciled so grader and cascade agree; (3) holdout cases triage-boundary-refactor-escalate and deep-boundary-refactor-escalate expect escalate/MEDIUM, locking against silent reversion; (4) the diff is limited to this reclassification — no other risk bullets moved.
Findings
No blocking findings. Prompt/eval-only change; no code paths, auth, secrets, migrations, or workflow logic touched. The new deep-tier holdout case correctly pins escalate_to_opus=false so MEDIUM boundary refactors do not leak into the security-audit tier. Both gemini-code-assist review threads are resolved. Secret-scanning MCP tool unavailable in this run; the gitleaks CI check passed and the diff contains no credential-like content.
CI status
All required checks green at 3b54aee (shellcheck, actionlint, CodeQL, gitleaks, holdout-guard, unit-tests, bats, template-drift, SonarCloud, agent-shield, prompt/persona validators). Cancelled/skipped entries are superseded dispatch runs from earlier commits.
