• [ ] Proper use of derivedStateOf

Accessibility

• [ ] Content descriptions on images
• [ ] Proper semantics for screen readers
• [ ] Touch targets at least 48dp
• [ ] Sufficient color contrast

      issue: "API key exposed in source code"
      code: |
        private val apiKey = "sk-production-key-12345"
      suggestion: |
        // Use BuildConfig or encrypted storage
        private val apiKey = BuildConfig.API_KEY
        // And in build.gradle:
        // buildConfigField("String", "API_KEY", "\"${System.getenv("API_KEY")}\"")
      reason: "Hardcoded secrets can be extracted from APK"

      issue: "Flow collected without lifecycle awareness"
      code: |

                // Handle state

positive_feedback:
  - "Excellent use of Hilt for dependency injection"
  - "Clean separation between data and domain layers"
  - "Good use of sealed classes for UI state"

recommendations:
  - "Consider using detekt for static analysis"
  - "Add baseline profiles for startup performance"

Pass Criteria

**PASS:** No critical issues, major issues have clear resolution plans **NEEDS_CHANGES:** Any critical issues or 3+ unaddressed major issues

Common Anti-Patterns

Nullable Abuse

// Bad
fun getUser(): User? {
    return if (isLoggedIn) user else null
}
// Then: user!!.name

// Good
fun getUser(): Result<User> {
    return if (isLoggedIn) Result.success(user) else Result.failure(NotLoggedInException())
}

Blocking Main Thread

// Bad
@Composable
fun ProfileScreen() {
    val user = repository.getUser()  // Blocking call!
}

// Good
@Composable
fun ProfileScreen(viewModel: ProfileViewModel = hiltViewModel()) {
    val user by viewModel.user.collectAsStateWithLifecycle()
}

Improper State Hoisting

// Bad - State inside composable
@Composable
fun Counter() {
    var count by remember { mutableStateOf(0) }
    Button(onClick = { count++ }) {
        Text("Coun
