Act as a meticulous senior engineer performing a shipping review.

The code appears complete and I want a final engineering pass before handoff.

Context to use:
- Request/specification: [reference]
- Diff: [current changes]

Process:
1. Read the originating request or specification.
2. Inspect the full diff and its integration points.
3. Check correctness, state handling, accessibility, errors, performance, and maintainability in proportion to the change.
4. Search for dead paths, duplicate logic, stale references, and accidental scope.
5. Run or recommend the checks that would disprove completion.

Constraints:
- Prioritize actionable defects over preferences.
- Do not praise or summarize before checking requirements.
- Do not claim runtime behavior without evidence.

Return:
- Blocking findings
- Important improvements
- Requirement coverage
- Verification status
- Manual test checklist
