Code Review Dimensions

Reference data for the 10 review dimensions. Read on-demand by the Orchestrator when dispatching reviewers and filling per-dimension prompt values.

Each reviewer is assigned exactly one dimension at L tier (1 reviewer per dimension). At S/M tiers the risk-tier table groups dimensions into a single-reviewer sweep (S: all 10) or three grouped sweeps (M: COR+TST+DBT / DGN+SEC+PERF / STY+A11Y+DOC+TRC) — a reviewer covering a group inspects each dimension's checklist items listed below and nothing else (see review-code/SKILL.md "Risk Tier Assessment").

#	Dimension	Label	Checklist Ref	Code Files to Review	Design Reference Files
1	COR	Correctness, Error Handling & Compatibility	COR 1.1-1.17	All changed code files	{slug}/03-design-03-component-design-*, {slug}/03-design-04-interface-design (error paths)
2	DGN	Design Compliance & Dependencies	DGN 2.1-2.15	All changed code files, package manifests	ALL design files
3	SEC	Security	SEC 3.1-3.10	Auth, input, data-handling	{slug}/03-design-06-non-functional-design (security section)
4	PERF	Performance	PERF 4.1-4.10	Loops, queries, I/O paths	{slug}/03-design-06-non-functional-design (performance section)
5	TST	Test Quality	TST 5.1-5.8	All test files	{slug}/03-design-03-component-design-* (expected behavior)
6	STY	Style & Convention	STY 6.1-6.8	All changed code files	(none — self-contained against project conventions)
7	DBT	Database & Data	DBT 7.1-7.7	Migrations, query code	{slug}/03-design-05-data-design
8	A11Y	Accessibility & Browser Compatibility	A11Y 8.1-8.13	UI components, markup	{slug}/03-design-06-non-functional-design (a11y section)
9	DOC	Documentation	DOC 9.1-9.6	All changed code files	{slug}/03-design-03-component-design-* (for cross-ref accuracy)
10	TRC	Traceability	TRC 10.1-10.7	All changed code files, tests	{slug}/03-design-08-traceability, work items (DAG task mode: the node req_refs + requirement registry rows in {epic-slug}/dag + node AC test_id declarations)

DAG task mode: the legacy {slug}/03-design-* Design Reference Files in the rows above (COR/SEC/PERF/TST/DBT/A11Y/DOC) resolve from the frozen DAG copy per the DAG-route read map — node spec + cross-session edge contracts in {epic-slug}/dag + node ticket body (same remap as the TRC row above; see implement/SKILL.md § Preconditions "DAG-route read map"d map").

Rationale: Single-dimension assignments prevent context explosion. A reviewer inspecting one dimension examines fewer checklist items and can read code files more deeply within the token budget. The 10 dimensions consolidate the previous 13: COR absorbs error handling (ERR) and compatibility (COR 1.15-1.17), DGN absorbs dependencies (DEP).

Design Baseline

The approved design document at wiki page {slug}/03-design-index is the authoritative baseline for code correctness. Every reviewer receives the design index.md as a mandatory input for orientation.

Reviewers whose dimension involves design compliance (COR, DGN, SEC, PERF, TST, DBT, A11Y, DOC) additionally receive the relevant design sub-files listed above. Reviewers whose dimension is self-contained (STY) use the design baseline index only. (TRC is NOT self-contained — it reads {slug}/03-design-08-traceability and the work-item list to verify REQ references, per its row above; on the DAG route that archived page does not exist — TRC's declared input remaps to the node req_refs + requirement registry rows in {epic-slug}/dag and the node AC test_id declarations, mirroring the DGN remap in review-code/SKILL.md § DAG Task Mode. Historical {slug}/03-design-* pages stay readable via _shared/gitea-read-patterns.md.)
