Criteria

  1. Shared mutable state without synchronization.
  2. Lock ordering / deadlock risk.
  3. Goroutine/thread leak patterns.
  4. Cancellation propagation (contexts, lifetimes).
  5. Race-detector / sanitizer usage in CI (or tooling gap).

Pros / cons

Pros Cons
Language-model adapters keep citations honest Static detection of races is incomplete โ€” note limits
Cancellation is often missing in reviews Over-flagging channel usage style โ€” need failure evidence
