# Pull request review

This rule applies when reviewing pull requests throughout this repository.

- Follow the PR description guide in `CONTRIBUTING.md` and the sections in
  `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`. Request missing thinking paths and missing
  explanations of what changed, why it matters, the benefits, verification, or
  risks.
- Do not request UI screenshots in PR reviews for this repository. Visual state
  verification is described through component tests, enumeration of states in
  the PR description, and use of existing design tokens. This repository rule
  takes precedence over the older organization instruction to request
  screenshots for visual changes.
- When a PR grows a source file from fewer than 1,000 lines to more than 1,000
  lines, require a concrete reason for keeping the implementation together.
  Flag an unexplained crossing and suggest a cohesive extraction. This check
  does not require unrelated cleanup of every existing large file.
