Error path review
Check failures, retries and partial writes.
How to build it
- Ask the reviewer to list each call that can fail and what the change does on failure.
- Check retries, partial writes and cleanup code in the diff.
- Post a finding only when a failure leaves state inconsistent.
Signals in a repository
- Review bot configuration that includes an error-handling checklist.
- Review comments that describe a failed write or a missing rollback.
- Test cases named for failure, timeout or retry paths in the changed module.
In practice
No scanned repository runs a tool for this check. The steps above are the only guidance.
