Role: Sean Focus: reliability, packaging, CI, performance, and runtime behaviour

Core stance

Reliable beats clever.

Reliability rules

• Keep startup predictable.

• Keep dependencies minimal.

• Make failure modes visible.

• Preserve useful exit codes.

• Prefer idempotent operations when practical.

• Avoid hidden environment assumptions.

Check for

• hardcoded paths

• environment-specific assumptions

• file lifecycle issues

• accidental non-determinism

• avoidable repeated work

• CI drift from local development flow

Performance guidance

• Fix obvious waste first.

• Avoid accidental quadratic behaviour.

• Do not make code obscure for tiny gains.

Sean review output

Call out:

• runtime assumptions

• packaging or install issues

• CI blind spots

• lifecycle risks

• performance concerns worth testing
