# Code Review Report — Batch 03 cycle 3

**Batch**: 03 (cycle 3) — AZ-493 (integration test DB-reset hook)
**Date**: 2026-05-12
**Verdict**: PASS_WITH_WARNINGS

## Findings

| # | Severity | Category | File:Line | Title |
|---|----------|----------|-----------|-------|
| 1 | Low | Spec-Gap | `_docs/02_tasks/done/AZ-493_integration_test_db_reset_hook.md` § Safety + § Risk 1 | Task spec prescribed "DB name contains `_test`" as Guard 2; production reality uses `Database=satelliteprovider` and rename requires user confirmation |

### Finding Details

**F1: Task spec prescribed "DB name contains `_test`" as Guard 2; production reality uses `Database=satelliteprovider`** (Low / Spec-Gap)

- Location: `_docs/02_tasks/done/AZ-493_integration_test_db_reset_hook.md` § Safety (line ~98) and § Risk 1 (line ~125)
- Description: The AZ-493 spec asserted "the integration test compose file already uses a separate DB" and prescribed the second guard as "the DB name contains `_test`". Reading `docker-compose.tests.yml` showed the integration tests use the same `Database=satelliteprovider` as the API service. Renaming the database is gated on user confirmation per `coderule.mdc` ("Do not rename any databases or tables or table columns without confirmation."). The spec's "or equivalent" qualifier was used to substitute a Host allowlist (`postgres`, `localhost`, `127.0.0.1`) as Guard 2.
- Suggestion: Capture this in the batch report (already done — Spec-vs-reality notes section) and consider a future PBI to align on the spec's preferred guard pattern *if* the team wants `_test` in the DB name. The current implementation provides identical safety (remote / production hostnames are rejected) and is unit-tested. No code action required. Pattern matches cycle-3 batch-1 F1 (AZ-496 Tests.csproj non-existence) — a recurring symptom of task specs encoding assumptions that aren't verified against the actual codebase before authoring.
- Task: AZ-493

## Phase-by-Phase Summary

| Phase | Result | Notes |
|-------|--------|-------|
| 1. Context Loading | OK | AZ-493 spec read; 6 ACs identified; defense-in-depth choice on `_coordinateCounter` documented before implementation |
| 2. Spec Compliance | OK | 6/6 ACs verified at code level. AC-6 (existing tests pass unchanged) waits on Step 16 final test gate; the structural prerequisite (Program.cs startup path is the only diff) is satisfied |
| 3. Code Quality | OK | Clean separation of pure guard logic (`IntegrationTestResetGuard` — static, I/O-free, easy to test) from side-effectful reset (`IntegrationTestDatabaseReset` — instance, owns the Npgsql connection). Single responsibility per class. Errors surface with structured operator-friendly messages. No silent suppression. Test class has 8 well-isolated `[Fact]` / `[Theory]` cases following Arrange/Act/Assert. |
| 4. Security Quick-Scan | OK | The guard's express purpose is preventing accidental truncate against non-test databases. Two independent checks (env sentinel + Host allowlist) — either alone would have prevented the cycle-2 scenario; together they reduce the false-positive risk to near zero. Unit tests confirm the rejection paths with representative production-shape hostnames |
| 5. Performance Scan | OK | Reset is O(table-count) Npgsql round-trips wrapped in a single transaction; AZ-493 NFR budget (< 1 s on O(10K) rows) is comfortably within Postgres TRUNCATE behavior |
| 6. Cross-Task Consistency | OK | The new `IntegrationTestResetGuard` lives in TestSupport alongside the AZ-491 `JwtTokenFactory` — both are pure utility surfaces consumed by both test projects. The boundary is enforced: `IntegrationTestDatabaseReset` (Npgsql-bearing) stays in IntegrationTests so the Npgsql dependency does not leak into unit tests. This explicit separation is the architectural improvement the AZ-491 batch teed up |
| 7. Architecture Compliance | OK | No production-component change. TestSupport's role as a shared/cross-cutting test library is reinforced (now serves two cycle-3 PBIs). No new ProjectReferences in production code. No cycles. Layering invariant preserved: TestSupport is *below* both test projects; production projects do NOT reference TestSupport |

## Cross-cutting observations (info, no finding)

- The guard's `AllowedHosts` is a constant list, not a configurable env var. This is intentional — the safety guarantee weakens if operators can override it. A future PBI that needs to support a non-listed Host (e.g., a Kubernetes pod hostname for ephemeral test environments) would extend the list in source, not via runtime config.
- The decision to retain the wallclock-seeded `_coordinateCounter` in `UavUploadTests` is recorded as defense-in-depth. AC-2 explicitly allowed either approach; the batch chose retention because the additional code surface is minimal and the safety benefit (against `--keep-state` collisions) is non-trivial. The retention comment back-references AZ-493 so future agents understand why the cycle-2 workaround is still there.

## Baseline Delta

| Class | Count | Notes |
|-------|-------|-------|
| Carried over | 0 | No Architecture findings; nothing recurring |
| Resolved | 1 (informal) | The cycle-2 Pattern 5 (Integration test state leakage from persistent Postgres volume) is structurally closed by this batch. Tracked in `retro_2026-05-11_cycle2.md` § 6 Pattern 5; not an Architecture-class baseline entry, so it does not appear in the cycle-1 baseline |
| Newly introduced | 0 | — |

## Verdict Logic

- 0 Critical, 0 High, 0 Medium, 1 Low → **PASS_WITH_WARNINGS**
- The Low finding is the spec-vs-reality observation about Guard 2 — documented, mitigated, and unit-tested. Does not block commit per the implement-skill auto-fix gate.
