checkpoint

Review autonomous code changes through a structured human-in-the-loop workflow that organizes PR inputs, groups walkthrough by concerns, highlights blast-radius hotspots, suggests manual observation tests, and concludes with a final decision.

A blast-radius assessment identifies top high-risk spots in autonomous code changes, allowing quick validation of critical areas before merging. It groups modifications by intent to focus human observation on potential failure points.

Identify high-risk areas by running a concern-driven walkthrough that groups code changes by intent and highlights blast-radius hotspots. This process surfaces surface-area statistics to align review scope before deep validation.

Validate autonomous code work using manual observation prompts that suggest concrete, observable checks. This approach validates outcomes of code changes without relying on brittle automated tests.

Use a structured human-in-the-loop review process at PR handoff points after multi-file autonomous work, before release, or when a user requests a walkthrough to ensure critical risks are surfaced.

The checkpoint workflow operates with no specific dependencies or components, functioning as a standalone structured review process for coordinating human validation of autonomous code changes.
