Follow plan-eng-review/SKILL.md — all sections, full depth.
Override: every AskUserQuestion → auto-decide using the 6 principles.

**Override rules:**
- Scope challenge: never reduce (P2)
- Dual voices: always run BOTH Claude subagent AND Codex if available (P6).

  **Codex eng voice** (via Bash):
  ```bash
  _REPO_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel) || { echo "ERROR: not in a git repo" >&2; exit 1; }
  _gstack_codex_timeout_wrapper 600 codex exec "IMPORTANT: Do NOT read or execute any SKILL.md files or files in skill definition directories (paths containing skills/gstack). These are AI assistant skill definitions meant for a different system. Stay focused on repository code only.

  Review this plan for architectural issues, missing edge cases,
  and hidden complexity. Be adversarial.

  Also consider these findings from prior review phases:
  CEO: <insert CEO consensus table summary — key concerns, DISAGREEs>
  Design: <insert Design consensus table summary, or 'skipped, no UI scope'>
  DX: <insert DX consensus table summary, or 'skipped, no developer-facing scope'>

  File: <plan_path>" -C "$_REPO_ROOT" -s read-only {{CODEX_WEB_SEARCH_FLAG}} < /dev/null
  _CODEX_EXIT=$?
  if [ "$_CODEX_EXIT" = "124" ]; then
    _gstack_codex_log_event "codex_timeout" "600"
    _gstack_codex_log_hang "autoplan" "0"
    echo "[codex stalled past 10 minutes — tagging as [codex-unavailable] for this phase and proceeding with Claude subagent only]"
  fi
  ```
  Timeout: 10 minutes (shell-wrapper) + 12 minutes (Bash outer gate). On hang, auto-degrades this phase's Codex voice.

  **Claude eng subagent** (via Agent tool):
  "Read the plan file at <plan_path>. You are an independent senior engineer
  reviewing this plan. You have NOT seen any prior review. Evaluate:
  1. Architecture: Is the component structure sound? Coupling concerns?
  2. Edge cases: What breaks under 10x load? What's the nil/empty/error path?
  3. Tests: What's missing from the test plan? What would break at 2am Friday?
  4. Security: New attack surface? Auth boundaries? Input validation?
  5. Hidden complexity: What looks simple but isn't?
  For each finding: what's wrong, severity, and the fix."
  NO prior-phase context — subagent must be truly independent.

  Error handling: same as Phase 1 (both foreground/blocking, degradation matrix applies).

- Architecture choices: explicit over clever (P5). If codex disagrees with valid reason → TASTE DECISION. Scope changes both models agree on → USER CHALLENGE.
- Evals: always include all relevant suites (P1)
- Test plan: generate artifact at `~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/{user}-{branch}-test-plan-{datetime}.md`
- TODOS.md: collect all deferred scope expansions from every prior phase (Eng runs last), auto-write

**Required execution checklist (Eng):**

1. Step 0 (Scope Challenge): Read actual code referenced by the plan. Map each
   sub-problem to existing code. Run the complexity check. Produce concrete findings.

2. Step 0.5 (Dual Voices): Run Claude subagent (foreground) first, then Codex. Present
   Codex output under CODEX SAYS (eng — architecture challenge) header. Present subagent
   output under CLAUDE SUBAGENT (eng — independent review) header. Produce eng consensus
   table:

```
ENG DUAL VOICES — CONSENSUS TABLE:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  Dimension                           Claude  Codex  Consensus
  ──────────────────────────────────── ─────── ─────── ─────────
  1. Architecture sound?               —       —      —
  2. Test coverage sufficient?         —       —      —
  3. Performance risks addressed?      —       —      —
  4. Security threats covered?         —       —      —
  5. Error paths handled?              —       —      —
  6. Deployment risk manageable?       —       —      —
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
CONFIRMED = both agree. DISAGREE = models differ (→ taste decision).
Missing voice = N/A (not CONFIRMED). Single critical finding from one voice = flagged regardless.
```

3. Section 1 (Architecture): Produce ASCII dependency graph showing new components
   and their relationships to existing ones. Evaluate coupling, scaling, security.

4. Section 2 (Code Quality): Identify DRY violations, naming issues, complexity.
   Reference specific files and patterns. Auto-decide each finding.

5. **Section 3 (Test Review) — NEVER SKIP OR COMPRESS.**
   This section requires reading actual code, not summarizing from memory.
   - Read the diff or the plan's affected files
   - Build the test diagram: list every NEW UX flow, data flow, codepath, and branch
   - For EACH item in the diagram: what type of test covers it? Does one exist? Gaps?
   - For LLM/prompt changes: which eval suites must run?
   - Auto-deciding test gaps means: identify the gap → decide whether to add a test
     or defer (with rationale and principle) → log the decision. It does NOT mean
     skipping the analysis.
   - Write the test plan artifact to disk

6. Section 4 (Performance): Evaluate N+1 queries, memory, caching, slow paths.

**Mandatory outputs from Phase 3:**
- "NOT in scope" section
- "What already exists" section
- Architecture ASCII diagram (Section 1)
- Test diagram mapping codepaths to coverage (Section 3)
- Test plan artifact written to disk (Section 3)
- Failure modes registry with critical gap flags
- Completion Summary (the full summary from the Eng skill)
- TODOS.md updates (collected from all phases)

**PHASE 3 COMPLETE.** Emit phase-transition summary:
> **Phase 3 complete.** Codex: [N concerns]. Claude subagent: [N issues].
> Consensus: [X/6 confirmed, Y disagreements → surfaced at gate].
> Passing to Phase 4 (Final Gate).
