Summary
AI summaryCorrectness reviewer now uses an explicit defect checklist improving recall without false positives.
Full changelog
Correctness judge: much higher recall on the defect classes it exists to catch,
with no false-positive cost. The turn-end correctness reviewer (and the
multi-lens correctness lens that shares its prompt) was missing unguarded
dereferences, dropped awaits, and off-by-one errors on real repos. Two prompt
changes fix that, validated on a real TypeScript and a real Ruby repo.
Changed
-
Correctness reviewer now works through an explicit defect checklist. The
prompt enumerates the defects most often missed and makes the reviewer clear
each dereference, index, and condition in the diff: optional/absent-on-miss
lookups dereferenced without a guard (Map.get/.find/.find_by/ hash
index), nilable receivers used without?./&./ a guard, dropped awaits,
off-by-one and index-bounds errors, assignment-in-condition, unreachable code,
and inverted conditions. A reminder to apply the checklist is re-anchored next
to each diff so it stays salient on context-heavy repos, and it names the safe
forms (explicit
default lookups likefetch(k, default), optional chaining, and an earlier
early-return guard even when it sits outside the diff) so guarded code is not
flagged. -
Correctness-only prompt no longer carries team-idiom guidance or a sibling
witness by default. An interleaved A/B on both repos found that injecting
the convention guidance and canonical excerpt into this bug-only prompt lowers
correctness recall with no false-positive benefit: the style context crowds
out the bug signal the reviewer is already told to ignore for style. The
correctness lens now gets only correctness-relevant context (the checklist,
the user's checkable intent tokens, the committed-caller facts, and the diff).
A newinclude_style_contextflag onbuild_prompt(default off) lets a
future style-aware lens opt back in.
