What's inside

  • Provenance: the AI-written sections are labeled, the prompt is recorded, and the author can explain every line.
  • Correctness: the main path is traced, edge cases are tested, and API calls are checked against the real library.
  • Tests: new tests for new behavior, human review of AI-written tests, and no drop in coverage.
  • Dependencies: each new package is listed, checked for legitimacy, licenses and known CVEs.
  • Security and ownership: secrets scanning, input validation, injection checks, a named owner and updated runbooks.
  • A sign-off for the author and the reviewer.

Format: PDF (3 pages).
