Adversarial Review

Overview

Independent adversarial code review checking spec compliance. Uses binary PASS/FAIL verdicts (not subjective feedback) with required file:line evidence citations.

When to Use

  • After quality gates pass in the execution loop
  • For final comprehensive cross-unit review
  • When verifying spec compliance of any implementation

Key Differences from Collaborative Review

Aspect Collaborative Adversarial
Goal Help improve code Verify spec compliance
Verdict Suggestions Binary PASS/FAIL
Evidence Optional Required (file:line)
Reviewer Can be reused Must be fresh
Context Shared Independent

Fresh Reviewer Rule

On re-review after FAIL, a NEW reviewer instance spawns with no memory of the previous review. This prevents anchoring bias where a reviewer fixates on previously identified issues.

Anti-Patterns

  • Reusing reviewers after FAIL
  • Passing previous findings to new reviewers
  • Providing subjective or advisory feedback
  • Accepting partial compliance as PASS
