description: Reviews a feature segment in the main Civitai Next.js app (src/) for code that was rebuilt when it already exists — a component in src/components/, a service function in src/server/services/, a hook, a cache, a selector, a tRPC procedure — and reports pre-existing duplicate services the diff touches. Use before calling a segment done, alongside civitai-correctness-review, civitai-perf-review, civitai-test-review and civitai-intent-review.

Reuse review — main Civitai app (`src/`)

**Scope is `src/` and the packages it imports** (`packages/civitai-*`). The SvelteKit apps under `apps/` are reviewed by the `svelte-*-review` trio — if the diff touches those, say so and skip them.

Read the root `CLAUDE.md` first, especially "Server-Side Architecture Map" and "Component Standards". It is the only written map of this codebase.

You answer one question: **did this segment write something that already exists?**

Correctness, performance, tests and request-fidelity have their own reviewers. **Stay in your lane.** Say nothing about whether the new code is *correct* — only whether it should have been written at all.

Why this lane exists

This repo is large enough that nobody — human or agent — can hold it. `src/components/` has **246** top-level directories. `src/server/services/` has **195** files. `image.service.ts` alone is **290 KB** and exports **89** functions. An agent asked for "a query that returns a user's images" will not find `getMyImages` at the bottom of a 290 KB file; it will write a new one. Two weeks later the two disagree about NSFW filtering and only one of them got the fix.

That is the defect you exist to catch. It is invisible to every other reviewer, because the duplicate code is usually *correct* — just redundant, and destined to diverge.

Search before you conclude anything is novel

Do not reason about whether something probably exists. Grep. For each new function, component or hook in the diff, run the search **before** deciding:

git diff --stat main...HEAD -- src/
grep -rn "getMyImages\|getAllImages" src/server/services/image.service.ts   # exact name
grep -rniE "function (get|fetch|load)[A-Za-z]*Images" src/server/services/  # shape
ls src/components/ | grep -i carousel                                       # component by concept

The `rust-lsp` skill's `workspace-symbols` resolves a symbol name across the repo in ~40 ms and is faster than grepping for a definition you can name.

**Grep by concept, not by the new code's name.** The duplicate is never named the same thing — that is why it was missed. Search for the *table*, the *column*, the *URL shape*, the Mantine component being wrapped.

Where the existing thing usually lives

**Services** (`src/server/services/`, 195 files). The big ones hide the most: `image.service.ts` (290 KB), `model.service.ts` (167 KB), `challenge.service.ts` (165 KB), `block-registry.service.ts` (165 KB), `collection.service.ts` (122 KB), `model-version.service.ts` (119 KB), `article.service.ts` (111 KB), `creator-shop.service.ts` (93 KB), `buzz.service.ts` (61 KB). Read the **whole export list** of the relevant one before accepting a new query:

grep -nE "^export (async function|function|const) " src/server/services/image.service.ts

Named examples from `image.service.ts` that get rewritten: `getInfiniteImages`/`getAllImages` (the feed path), `getImagesForPosts`, `getImagesForModelVersion`, `getImagesByEntity`, `getImageDetail`, `getImageById`, `getMyImages`, `getTagNamesForImages`, `getResourceIdsForImages`, `getImageGenerationData`, `createEntityImages`/`updateEntityImages`.

**Query fragments.** A hand-written `select` that duplicates `src/server/selectors/`, or a zod input shape that duplicates `src/server/schema/`. Both directories exist precisely so the shape is declared once — a fourth copy drifts and surfaces as a runtime `undefined`.

**Caches.** `src/server/redis/caches.ts` holds ~50 `createCachedObject` definitions keyed by id array (`tagIdsForImagesCache`, `userBasicCache`, `userCosmeticCache`, `cosmeticCache`, `profilePictureCache`, `dataForModelsCache`, `modelVersionAccessCache`, `tagCache`, the `userXCountCache` family). A new per-row lookup that one of these already answers is a reuse finding *and* an N+1 — flag the reuse; the perf reviewer owns the cost. Generic machinery lives in `src/server/utils/cache-helpers.ts` (`fetchThroughCache`, `cachedCounter`, `queryCache`, `bustCacheTag`).

**tRPC procedures.** `src/server/trpc.ts` exports the ladder: `publicProcedure`, `protectedProcedure`, `verifiedProcedure`, `guardedProcedure`, `moderatorProcedure`, `appDeveloperProcedure`, `heavyProcedure`, plus `isFlagProtected(flag)`. A router that hand-rolls an auth or mute check inline instead of picking the right rung is a reuse finding. `src/server/middleware.trpc.ts` supplies `cacheIt`, `edgeCacheIt`, `noEdgeCache`, `purgeOnSuccess`, `rateLimit`, `applyUserPreferences`.

**Server utilities.** `withDistributedLock` (`src/server/utils/distributed-lock.ts`), `limitConcurrency`/`Limiter` (`concurrency-helpers.ts`), `dbRead`/`dbWrite` (`src/server/db/client.ts`), `pgDbRead`/`pgDbReadLong`/`pgDbWrite` (`db/pgDb.ts`), `kyselyDb` (`db/kyselyDb.ts`). A new pool, a new lock, or a hand-rolled `Promise.all` batcher is a finding.

**Components** (`src/components/`). The ones most often reimplemented:

• `EdgeMedia/` — **CLAUDE.md requires it over `next/image`.** A raw `<img>` or `next/image` in the diff

is a finding every time.

• `MasonryGrid/`, `MasonryColumns/`, `InView/`, `IntersectionObserver/`, `EndOfFeed/` — infinite feeds.
• `Dialog/` — the dialog registry (`dialog-registry2.ts`, and `routed-dialog/registry.ts` for

URL-routed ones). A bare `<Modal>` with local `opened` state bypasses it.

• `ImageGuard/`, `BrowsingLevel/`, `HiddenPreferences/` — NSFW/blur gating. Never re-derive this.
• `UserAvatar/`, `CreatorCard/`, `Cards/
