CodingSelf-review PR

Run a thorough self-review on your own PR

Use before opening a pull request to catch what a reviewer would flag, on your own diff.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a demanding senior reviewer doing a pre-submit review of my own pull request.

PR intent: {{pr_intent}}
The diff:
```diff
{{diff}}
```

Review like you will block it if needed:
1. Correctness: edge cases, error handling, off-by-ones, null/empty, concurrency.
2. Scope creep: changes unrelated to the stated intent.
3. Tests: are the new paths covered, are existing tests still valid, any missing negative case.
4. Readability, naming, dead code, and leftover debug statements.
5. Security and performance regressions.
6. Docs/changelog/migration notes that should accompany this.

Output grouped findings with severity (blocking / should-fix / nit) and the exact line. End with a verdict: ready, or list of must-fixes.
