Handling Review Findings

When Reviewer finds a material problem, it records the evidence and identifies the role that owns the fix. You do not need to classify findings, edit the review report, or update workflow state. Follow the handoff to invoke the named role; answer a question if a role needs your decision.

Reviewer assigns each problem to the role responsible for the affected work:

Problem Role that handles it
Code or Developer’s plan is wrong Developer
Design leaves required behavior undefined Architect
A requirement is unclear or incorrect Scoper
Tests or formal verification are wrong Tester
Required project context is incorrect Auditor
Documentation is wrong or incomplete Documenter
Review reasoning or a finding is wrong Reviewer

If you think a finding is mistaken, raise that concern. Reviewer checks the evidence when review resumes and updates its own report if needed; the author of the work cannot close a Reviewer finding on Reviewer’s behalf.

In expedited work, Developer handles implementation problems and Reviewer corrects its own review. If a problem needs a role that expedited work skips, the agent promotes the cycle to standard work and hands off to Auditor. Skipped reports are not findings by themselves.

Reviewer saves the finding and where its assessment should resume, then gives you the next role to invoke. The responsible role fixes the problem and decides which later checks must run again. For example, a corrected requirement may need a revised design, code changes, and testing before review resumes. The agents save this route in the workflow state; you do not manage it manually.

Invoke each role named by its handoff. When the workflow returns to Reviewer, resume its independent review chat or open another eligible independent chat. Reviewer checks the fix and any affected work before resolving the finding. Other findings stay recorded while one correction is in progress. See Failure Recovery for how the return path works.

The review report records each finding’s severity, evidence, impact, owner, and needed correction. Material findings and important unanswered questions block review. A review can also pass with no material findings after sufficient assessment. See the Reviewer guide for what it checks.
