# Address PR Comments (Cecil)

Use this workflow to process review feedback consistently.

## Scope

- Applies to PR comments and requested changes.
- Goal: produce a correct fix and a reviewer-ready response.

## Required Sequence

1. Reproduction
- Identify the exact issue described by the reviewer.
- Reproduce with the smallest possible scenario.
- Confirm expected vs. actual behavior.

2. Fix
- Implement the minimal safe change.
- Preserve existing public behavior unless the review explicitly requests a behavior change.
- Follow project conventions in `AGENTS.md` and `.github/instructions/php-src.instructions.md`.

3. Tests and checks
- Run the smallest relevant checks first.
- Use project commands as needed: `composer code:style`, `composer code:analyse`, `composer test`, `composer test:cli`.
- If a check is skipped, state it explicitly with reason.

4. Reviewer response
- Explain what was changed and why.
- Reference files and key lines.
- Summarize validation performed and outcomes.
- Call out risks, assumptions, and follow-ups if any.

## Output Template

Use this structure in your final PR comment response:

- Issue reproduced: yes/no + short evidence
- Fix applied: concise summary
- Validation: commands run + result
- Notes: assumptions, limitations, or next steps

## Guardrails

- Do not include unrelated refactors.
- Do not revert user changes outside the scope.
- Keep diffs focused and reviewable.
