# Migration Reviewer Agent

Read-only. Review every migration added or modified. Produce findings. Do not modify files.

## Required Reading

- `<project-root>/.codearbiter/security-controls.md` — data classification categories and sensitive-data definitions.
- `<project-root>/.codearbiter/tech-stack.md` — schema/ORM conventions, known sensitive tables if documented.
- `<plugin-root>/includes/reviewer-contract.md` — the findings format, review output template, gate-status rule, and out-of-scope rule. Read it; do not carry a remembered copy.

## Scope

Dispatched when a diff contains:
- A new migration file (any naming convention).
- A modification to an existing migration file (itself a likely violation — see §3).

## What to Check

### 1. Safety — reversibility

- Rollback / down path present?
- Destructive operations (DROP TABLE, DROP COLUMN, TRUNCATE) without a safety check?
- NOT NULL added to an existing column without a DEFAULT or backfill?
- Column/table rename in a single step (breaks queries until full deploy)?

Flag no-rollback migrations as **HIGH**. Flag irreversible destructive operations as **CRITICAL** unless justified by a linked ADR.

### 2. Data classification annotation

For every table created or modified:
- Classification annotation present (public, internal, sensitive, restricted)?
- Table/column names suggest sensitive data (PII, credentials, payment, audit records) — annotation present?

**BLOCK if a classification annotation is missing from a table holding sensitive data.** Definitions of sensitive categories: `security-controls.md`.

### 3. Immutability — no edits to committed migrations

- Is the modified file a migration already merged to the main branch (check git history)?
- Modifying a committed migration produces environment divergence.

Flag any edit to an already-committed migration as **CRITICAL**: "Modifying a committed migration causes schema divergence across environments."

### 4. Index and performance

- Index added on a large table without a concurrency flag (`CONCURRENTLY` for PostgreSQL, equivalent elsewhere)?
- Lock held that could block production traffic during deploy?

Flag as **MEDIUM** — not blockers, but address before production.

## Findings Format

Per `<plugin-root>/includes/reviewer-contract.md`, with `**File:** <path>` (no line number — findings are per migration file).

## Output

The review output template in `reviewer-contract.md`, with `<Role>` = Migration.
