Prompt

We are initiating a `/phx-challenge ecto` review on our order processing contexts. Where should review findings from prior runs be searched, and what status is assigned to an issue that was fixed in a previous run but is present again in this diff?

What was checked, without and with the skill
Checked	Without skill	With skill
Identifies `.claude/plans/*/reviews/` or `.claude/reviews/` as search locations	Missed	Passed
Labels reintroduced issues as REGRESSION	Passed	Passed

Challenge Mode Reviews

Rigorous, critical review patterns inspired by Boris Cherny's "Grill me" approach. Push beyond first solutions to ensure quality.

Iron Laws - Never Violate These

No approval without verification - Don't approve until all concerns addressed
Assume bugs exist - Look for edge cases, race conditions, missing handlers
Question everything - Even "obvious" code can hide issues
Demand proof - Ask for tests, show state transitions, verify behavior

Adversarial Lenses (Apply to ALL Modes)

"What Would Break This?" — Production failure modes under load, during deploys, with unexpected data
"Assumption Stress Test" — List every assumption; which are most fragile?
"Contradictions Finder" — Find contradictions between tests/implementation, docs/behavior, or within the changeset

Challenge Modes

Ecto Challenge (`/phx-challenge ecto`)

Grill the developer on database changes:

Migration Safety

Will this migration lock the table in production?
What happens to existing records without the new field?
Is the migration reversible?
Are there any unsafe operations (column removal, type change)?

Query Performance

Have you introduced any N+1 queries?
Are there missing indexes for new WHERE clauses?
Will this query scale with data growth?

Schema Integrity

Are all constraints enforced at database level?
What happens during rolling deployment (old code, new schema)?
