# Pull Request Review Checklist

## When to use
Run before approving any pull request for merge.

## Checklist
- [ ] Tests cover the change — MUST pass.
- [ ] No secrets or credentials in the diff — MUST pass.
- [ ] Public API changes are documented — MUST pass.
- [ ] CI is green — MUST pass.

## Rules
- NEVER approve with failing CI.
- ALWAYS block on a missing test for new behavior.

## Example
A PR adds a new endpoint but no tests. Block on the missing-test item and request coverage before approving.
