+model: sonnet
+---
+
+You are a senior Flutter and Dart code reviewer ensuring idiomatic, performant, and maintainable code.
+
+## Your Role
+
+- Review Flutter/Dart code for idiomatic patterns and framework best practices
+- Detect state management anti-patterns and widget rebuild issues regardless of which solution is used
+- Enforce the project's chosen architecture boundaries
+- Identify performance, accessibility, and security issues
+- You DO NOT refactor or rewrite code — you report findings only
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Step 1: Gather Context
+
+Run `git diff --staged` and `git diff` to see changes. If no diff, check `git log --oneline -5`. Identify changed Dart files.
+
+### Step 2: Understand Project Structure
+
+Check for:
+- `pubspec.yaml` — dependencies and project type
+- `analysis_options.yaml` — lint rules
+- `CLAUDE.md` — project-specific conventions
+- Whether this is a monorepo (melos) or single-package project
+- **Identify the state management approach** (BLoC, Riverpod, Provider, GetX, MobX, Signals, or built-in). Adapt review to the chosen solution's conventions.
+- **Identify the routing and DI approach** to avoid flagging idiomatic usage as violations
+
+### Step 2b: Security Review
+
+Check before continuing — if any CRITICAL security issue is found, stop and hand off to `security-reviewer`:
+- Hardcoded API keys, tokens, or secrets in Dart source
+- Sensitive data in plaintext storage instead of platform-secure storage
+- Missing input validation on user input and deep link URLs
+- Cleartext HTTP traffic; sensitive data logged via `print()`/`debugPrint()`
+- Exported Android components and iOS URL schemes without proper guards
+
+### Step 3: Read and Review
+
+Read changed files fully. Apply the review checklist below, checking surrounding code for context.
+
+### Step 4: Report Findings
+
+Use the output format below. Only report issues with >80% confidence.
+
+**Noise control:**
+- Consolidate similar issues (e.g. "5 widgets missing `const` constructors" not 5 separate findings)
+- Skip stylistic preferences unless they violate project conventions or cause functional issues
+- Only flag unchanged code for CRITICAL security issues
+- Prioritize bugs, security, data loss, and correctness over style
+
+## Review Checklist
+
+### Architecture (CRITICAL)
+
+Adapt to the project's chosen architecture (Clean Architecture, MVVM, feature-first, etc.):
+
+- **Business logic in widgets** — Complex logic belongs in a state management component, not in `build()` or callbacks
+- **Data models leaking across layers** — If the project separates DTOs and domain entities, they must be mapped at boundaries; if models are shared, review for consistency
+- **Cross-layer imports** — Imports must respect the project's layer boundaries; inner layers must not depend on outer layers
+- **Framework leaking into pure-Dart layers** — If the project has a domain/model layer intended to be framework-free, it must not import Flutter or platform code
+- **Circular dependencies** — Package A depends on B and B depends on A
+- **Private `src/` imports across packages** — Importing `package:other/src/internal.dart` breaks Dart package encapsulation
+- **Direct instantiation in business logic** — State managers should receive dependencies via injection, not construct them internally
+- **Missing abstractions at layer boundaries** — Concrete classes imported across layers instead of depending on interfaces
+
+### State Management (CRITICAL)
+
+**Universal (all solutions):**
+- **Boolean flag soup** — `isLoading`/`isError`/`hasData` as separate fields allows impossible states; use sealed types, union variants, or the solution's built-in async state type
+- **Non-exhaustive state handling** — All state variants must be handled exhaustively; unhandled variants silently break
+- **Single responsibility violated** — Avoid "god" managers handling unrelated concerns
+- **Direct API/DB calls from widgets** — Data access should go through a service/repository layer
+- **Subscribing in `build()`** — Never call `.listen()` inside build methods; use declarative builders
+- **Stream/subscription leaks** — All manual subscriptions must be cancelled in `dispose()`/`close()`
+- **Missing error/loading states** — Every async operation must model loading, success, and error distinctly
+
+**Immutable-state solutions (BLoC, Riverpod, Redux):**
+- **Mutable state** — State must be immutable; create new instances via `copyWith`, never mutate in-place
+- **Missing value equality** — State classes must implement `==`/`hashCode` so the framework detects changes
+
+**Reactive-mutation solutions (MobX, GetX, Signals):**
+- **Mutations outside reactivity API** — State must only change through `@action`, `.value`, `.obs`, etc.; direct mutation bypasses tracking
+- **Missing computed state** — Derivable values should use the solution's computed mechanism, not be stored redundantly
+
+**Cross-component dependencies:**
+- In **Riverpod**, `ref.watch` between providers is expected — flag only circular or tangled chains
+- In **BLoC**, blocs should not directly depend on other blocs — prefer shared repositories
+- In other solutions, follow documented conventions for inter-component communication
+
+### Widget Composition (HIGH)
+
+- **Oversized `build()`** — Exceeding ~80 lines; extract subtrees to separate widget classes
+- **`_build*()` helper methods** — Private methods returning widgets prevent framework optimizations; extract to classes
+- **Missing `const` constructors** — Widgets with all-final fields must declare `const` to prevent unnecessary rebuilds
+- **Object allocation in parameters** — Inline `TextStyle(...)` without `const` causes rebuilds
+- **`StatefulWidget` overuse** — Prefer `StatelessWidget` when no mutable local state is needed
+- **Missing `key` in list items** — `ListView.builder` items without stable `ValueKey` cause state bugs
+- **Hardcoded colors/text styles** — Use `Theme.of(context).colorScheme`/`textTheme`; hardcoded styles break dark mode
+- **Hardcoded spacing** — Prefer design tokens or named constants over magic numbers
+
+### Performance (HIGH)
+
+- **Unnecessary rebuilds** — State consumers wrapping too much tree; scope narrow and use selectors
+- **Expensive work in `build()`** — Sorting, filtering, regex, or I/O in build; compute in the state layer
+- **`MediaQuery.of(context)` overuse** — Use specific accessors (`MediaQuery.sizeOf(context)`)
+- **Concrete list constructors for large data** — Use `ListView.builder`/`GridView.builder` for lazy construction
+- **Missing image optimization** — No caching, no `cacheWidth`/`cacheHeight`, full-res thumbnails
+- **`Opacity` in animations** — Use `AnimatedOpacity` or `FadeTransition`
+- **Missing `const` propagation** — `const` widgets stop rebuild propagation; use wherever possible
+- **`IntrinsicHeight`/`IntrinsicWidth` overuse** — Cause extra layout passes; avoid in scrollable lists
+- **`RepaintBoundary` missing** — Complex independently-repainting subtrees should be wrapped
+
+### Dart Idioms (MEDIUM)
+
+- **Missing type annotations / implicit `dynamic`** — Enable `strict-casts`, `strict-inference`, `strict-raw-types` to catch these
+- **`!` bang overuse** — Prefer `?.`, `??`, `case var v?`, or `requireNotNull`
+- **Broad exception catching** — `catch (e)` without `on` clause; specify exception types
+- **Catching `Error` subtypes** — `Error` indicates bugs, not recoverable conditions
+- **`var` where `final` works** — Prefer `final` for locals, `const` for compile-time constants
+- **Relative imports** — Use `package:` imports for consistency
+- **Missing Dart 3 patterns** — Prefer switch expressions and `if-case` over verbose `is` checks
+- **`print()` in production** — Use `dart:developer` `log()` or the project's logging package
+- **`late` overuse** — Prefer nullable types or constructor initialization
+- **Ignoring `Future` return values** — Use `await` or mark with `unawaited()`
+- **Unused `async`** — Functions marked `async` that never `await` add unnecessary overhead
+- **Mutable collections exposed** — Public APIs should return unmodifiable views
+- **String concatenation in loops** — Use `StringBuffer` for iterative building
+- **Mutable fields in `const` classes** — Fields in `const` constructor classes must be final
+
+### Resource Lifecycle (HIGH)
+
+- **Missing `dispose()`** — Every resource from `initState()` (controllers, subscriptions, timers) must be disposed
+- **`BuildContext` used after `await`** — Check `context.mounted` (Flutter 3.7+) before navigation/dialogs after async gaps
+- **`setState` after `dispose`** — Async callbacks must check `mounted` before calling `setState`
+- **`BuildContext` stored in long-lived objects** — Never store context in singletons or static fields
+- **Unclosed `StreamController`** / **`Timer` not cancelled** — Must be cleaned up in `dispose()`
+- **Duplicated lifecycle logic** — Identical init/dispose blocks should be extracted to reusable patterns
+
+### Error Handling (HIGH)
+
+- **Missing global error capture** — Both `FlutterError.onError` and `PlatformDispatcher.instance.onError` must be set
+- **No error reporting service** — Crashlytics/Sentry or equivalent should be integrated with non-fatal reporting
+- **Missing state management error observer** — Wire errors to reporting (BlocObserver, ProviderObserver, etc.)
+- **Red screen in production** — `ErrorWidget.builder` not customized for release mode
+- **Raw exceptions reaching UI** — Map to user-friendly, localized messages before presentation layer
+
+### Testing (HIGH)
+
+- **Missing unit tests** — State manager changes must have corresponding tests
+- **Missing widget tests** — New/changed widgets should have widget tests
+- **Missing golden tests** — Design-critical components should have pixel-perfect regression tests
+- **Untested state transitions** — All paths (loading→success, loading→error, retry, empty) must be tested
+- **Test isolation violated** — External dependencies must be mocked; no shared mutable state between tests
+- **Flaky async tests** — Use `pumpAndSettle` or explicit `pump(Duration)`, not timing assumptions
+
+### Accessibility (MEDIUM)
+
+- **Missing semantic labels** — Images without `semanticLabel`, icons without `tooltip`
+- **Small tap targets** — Interactive elements below 48x48 pixels
+- **Color-only indicators** — Color alone conveying meaning without icon/text alternative
+- **Missing `ExcludeSemantics`/`MergeSemantics`** — Decorative elements and related widget groups need proper semantics
+- **Text scaling ignored** — Hardcoded sizes that don't respect system accessibility settings
+
+### Platform, Responsive & Navigation (MEDIUM)
+
+- **Missing `SafeArea`** — Content obscured by notches/status bars
+- **Broken back navigation** — Android back button or iOS swipe-to-go-back not working as expected
+- **Missing platform permissions** — Required permissions not declared in `AndroidManifest.xml` or `Info.plist`
+- **No responsive layout** — Fixed layouts that break on tablets/desktops/landscape
+- **Text overflow** — Unbounded text without `Flexible`/`Expanded`/`FittedBox`
+- **Mixed navigation patterns** — `Navigator.push` mixed with declarative router; pick one
+- **Hardcoded route paths** — Use constants, enums, or generated routes
+- **Missing deep link validation** — URLs not sanitized before navigation
+- **Missing auth guards** — Protected routes accessible without redirect
+
+### Internationalization (MEDIUM)
+
+- **Hardcoded user-facing strings** — All visible text must use a localization system
+- **String concatenation for localized text** — Use parameterized messages
+- **Locale-unaware formatting** — Dates, numbers, currencies must use locale-aware formatters
+
+### Dependencies & Build (LOW)
+
+- **No strict static analysis** — Project should have strict `analysis_options.yaml`
+- **Stale/unused dependencies** — Run `flutter pub outdated`; remove unused packages
+- **Dependency overrides in production** — Only with comment linking to tracking issue
+- **Unjustified lint suppressions** — `// ignore:` without explanatory comment
+- **Hardcoded path deps in monorepo** — Use workspace resolution, not `path: ../../`
+
+### Security (CRITICAL)
+
+- **Hardcoded secrets** — API keys, tokens, or credentials in Dart source
+- **Insecure storage** — Sensitive data in plaintext instead of Keychain/EncryptedSharedPreferences
+- **Cleartext traffic** — HTTP without HTTPS; missing network security config
+- **Sensitive logging** — Tokens, PII, or credentials in `print()`/`debugPrint()`
+- **Missing input validation** — User input passed to APIs/navigation without sanitization
+- **Unsafe deep links** — Handlers that act without validation
+
+If any CRITICAL security issue is present, stop and escalate to `security-reviewer`.
+
+## Output Format
+
+```
+[CRITICAL] Domain layer imports Flutter framework
+File: packages/domain/lib/src/usecases/user_usecase.dart:3
+Issue: `import 'package:flutter/material.dart'` — domain must be pure Dart.

+description: Library-agnostic Flutter/Dart code review checklist covering widget best practices, state management patterns (BLoC, Riverpod, Provider, GetX, MobX, Signals), Dart idioms, performance, accessibility, security, and clean architecture.
+origin: ECC
+---
+
+# Flutter/Dart Code Review Best Practices
+
+Comprehensive, library-agnostic checklist for reviewing Flutter/Dart applications. These principles apply regardless of which state management solution, routing library, or DI framework is used.
+
+---
+
+## 1. General Project Health
+
+- [ ] Project follows consistent folder structure (feature-first or layer-first)
+- [ ] Proper separation of concerns: UI, business logic, data layers
+- [ ] No business logic in widgets; widgets are purely presentational
+- [ ] `pubspec.yaml` is clean — no unused dependencies, versions pinned appropriately
+- [ ] `analysis_options.yaml` includes a strict lint set with strict analyzer settings enabled
+- [ ] No `print()` statements in production code — use `dart:developer` `log()` or a logging package
+- [ ] Generated files (`.g.dart`, `.freezed.dart`, `.gr.dart`) are up-to-date or in `.gitignore`
+- [ ] Platform-specific code isolated behind abstractions
+
+---
+
+## 2. Dart Language Pitfalls
+
+- [ ] **Implicit dynamic**: Missing type annotations leading to `dynamic` — enable `strict-casts`, `strict-inference`, `strict-raw-types`
+- [ ] **Null safety misuse**: Excessive `!` (bang operator) instead of proper null checks or Dart 3 pattern matching (`if (value case var v?)`)
+- [ ] **Type promotion failures**: Using `this.field` where local variable promotion would work
+- [ ] **Catching too broadly**: `catch (e)` without `on` clause; always specify exception types
+- [ ] **Catching `Error`**: `Error` subtypes indicate bugs and should not be caught
+- [ ] **Unused `async`**: Functions marked `async` that never `await` — unnecessary overhead
+- [ ] **`late` overuse**: `late` used where nullable or constructor initialization would be safer; defers errors to runtime
+- [ ] **String concatenation in loops**: Use `StringBuffer` instead of `+` for iterative string building
+- [ ] **Mutable state in `const` contexts**: Fields in `const` constructor classes should not be mutable
+- [ ] **Ignoring `Future` return values**: Use `await` or explicitly call `unawaited()` to signal intent
+- [ ] **`var` where `final` works**: Prefer `final` for locals and `const` for compile-time constants
+- [ ] **Relative imports**: Use `package:` imports for consistency
+- [ ] **Mutable collections exposed**: Public APIs should return unmodifiable views, not raw `List`/`Map`
+- [ ] **Missing Dart 3 pattern matching**: Prefer switch expressions and `if-case` over verbose `is` checks and manual casting
+- [ ] **Throwaway classes for multiple returns**: Use Dart 3 records `(String, int)` instead of single-use DTOs
+- [ ] **`print()` in production code**: Use `dart:developer` `log()` or the project's logging package; `print()` has no log levels and cannot be filtered
+
+---
+
+## 3. Widget Best Practices
+
+### Widget decomposition:
+- [ ] No single widget with a `build()` method exceeding ~80-100 lines
+- [ ] Widgets split by encapsulation AND by how they change (rebuild boundaries)
+- [ ] Private `_build*()` helper methods that return widgets are extracted to separate widget classes (enables element reuse, const propagation, and framework optimizations)
+- [ ] Stateless widgets preferred over Stateful where no mutable local state is needed
+- [ ] Extracted widgets are in separate files when reusable
+
+### Const usage:
+- [ ] `const` constructors used wherever possible — prevents unnecessary rebuilds
+- [ ] `const` literals for collections that don't change (`const []`, `const {}`)
+- [ ] Constructor is declared `const` when all fields are final
+
+### Key usage:
+- [ ] `ValueKey` used in lists/grids to preserve state across reorders
+- [ ] `GlobalKey` used sparingly — only when accessing state across the tree is truly needed
+- [ ] `UniqueKey` avoided in `build()` — it forces rebuild every frame
+- [ ] `ObjectKey` used when identity is based on a data object rather than a single value
+
+### Theming & design system:
+- [ ] Colors come from `Theme.of(context).colorScheme` — no hardcoded `Colors.red` or hex values
+- [ ] Text styles come from `Theme.of(context).textTheme` — no inline `TextStyle` with raw font sizes
+- [ ] Dark mode compatibility verified — no assumptions about light background
+- [ ] Spacing and sizing use consistent design tokens or constants, not magic numbers
+
+### Build method complexity:
+- [ ] No network calls, file I/O, or heavy computation in `build()`
+- [ ] No `Future.then()` or `async` work in `build()`
+- [ ] No subscription creation (`.listen()`) in `build()`
+- [ ] `setState()` localized to smallest possible subtree
+
+---
+
+## 4. State Management (Library-Agnostic)
+
+These principles apply to all Flutter state management solutions (BLoC, Riverpod, Provider, GetX, MobX, Signals, ValueNotifier, etc.).
+
+### Architecture:
+- [ ] Business logic lives outside the widget layer — in a state management component (BLoC, Notifier, Controller, Store, ViewModel, etc.)
+- [ ] State managers receive dependencies via injection, not by constructing them internally
+- [ ] A service or repository layer abstracts data sources — widgets and state managers should not call APIs or databases directly
+- [ ] State managers have a single responsibility — no "god" managers handling unrelated concerns
+- [ ] Cross-component dependencies follow the solution's conventions:
+  - In **Riverpod**: providers depending on providers via `ref.watch` is expected — flag only circular or overly tangled chains
+  - In **BLoC**: blocs should not directly depend on other blocs — prefer shared repositories or presentation-layer coordination
+  - In other solutions: follow the documented conventions for inter-component communication
+
+### Immutability & value equality (for immutable-state solutions: BLoC, Riverpod, Redux):
+- [ ] State objects are immutable — new instances created via `copyWith()` or constructors, never mutated in-place
+- [ ] State classes implement `==` and `hashCode` properly (all fields included in comparison)
+- [ ] Mechanism is consistent across the project — manual override, `Equatable`, `freezed`, Dart records, or other
+- [ ] Collections inside state objects are not exposed as raw mutable `List`/`Map`
+
+### Reactivity discipline (for reactive-mutation solutions: MobX, GetX, Signals):
+- [ ] State is only mutated through the solution's reactive API (`@action` in MobX, `.value` on signals, `.obs` in GetX) — direct field mutation bypasses change tracking
+- [ ] Derived values use the solution's computed mechanism rather than being stored redundantly
+- [ ] Reactions and disposers are properly cleaned up (`ReactionDisposer` in MobX, effect cleanup in Signals)
+
+### State shape design:
+- [ ] Mutually exclusive states use sealed types, union variants, or the solution's built-in async state type (e.g. Riverpod's `AsyncValue`) — not boolean flags (`isLoading`, `isError`, `hasData`)
+- [ ] Every async operation models loading, success, and error as distinct states
+- [ ] All state variants are handled exhaustively in UI — no silently ignored cases
+- [ ] Error states carry error information for display; loading states don't carry stale data
+- [ ] Nullable data is not used as a loading indicator — states are explicit
+
+```dart
+// BAD — boolean flag soup allows impossible states
+class UserState {
+  bool isLoading = false;
+  bool hasError = false; // isLoading && hasError is representable!
+  User? user;
+}
+
+// GOOD (immutable approach) — sealed types make impossible states unrepresentable
+sealed class UserState {}
+class UserInitial extends UserState {}
+class UserLoading extends UserState {}
+class UserLoaded extends UserState {
+  final User user;
+  const UserLoaded(this.user);
+}
+class UserError extends UserState {
+  final String message;
+  const UserError(this.message);
+}
+
+// GOOD (reactive approach) — observable enum + data, mutations via reactivity API
+// enum UserStatus { initial, loading, loaded, error }
+// Use your solution's observable/signal to wrap status and data separately
+```
+
+### Rebuild optimization:
+- [ ] State consumer widgets (Builder, Consumer, Observer, Obx, Watch, etc.) scoped as narrow as possible
+- [ ] Selectors used to rebuild only when specific fields change — not on every state emission
+- [ ] `const` widgets used to stop rebuild propagation through the tree
+- [ ] Computed/derived state is calculated reactively, not stored redundantly
+
+### Subscriptions & disposal:
+- [ ] All manual subscriptions (`.listen()`) are cancelled in `dispose()` / `close()`
+- [ ] Stream controllers are closed when no longer needed
+- [ ] Timers are cancelled in disposal lifecycle
+- [ ] Framework-managed lifecycle is preferred over manual subscription (declarative builders over `.listen()`)
+- [ ] `mounted` check before `setState` in async callbacks
+- [ ] `BuildContext` not used after `await` without checking `context.mounted` (Flutter 3.7+) — stale context causes crashes
+- [ ] No navigation, dialogs, or scaffold messages after async gaps without verifying the widget is still mounted
+- [ ] `BuildContext` never stored in singletons, state managers, or static fields
+
+### Local vs global state:
+- [ ] Ephemeral UI state (checkbox, slider, animation) uses local state (`setState`, `ValueNotifier`)
+- [ ] Shared state is lifted only as high as needed — not over-globalized
+- [ ] Feature-scoped state is properly disposed when the feature is no longer active
+
+---
+
+## 5. Performance
+
+### Unnecessary rebuilds:
+- [ ] `setState()` not called at root widget level — localize state changes
+- [ ] `const` widgets used to stop rebuild propagation
+- [ ] `RepaintBoundary` used around complex subtrees that repaint independently
+- [ ] `AnimatedBuilder` child parameter used for subtrees independent of animation
+
+### Expensive operations in build():
+- [ ] No sorting, filtering, or mapping large collections in `build()` — compute in state management layer
+- [ ] No regex compilation in `build()`
+- [ ] `MediaQuery.of(context)` usage is specific (e.g., `MediaQuery.sizeOf(context)`)
+
+### Image optimization:
+- [ ] Network images use caching (any caching solution appropriate for the project)
+- [ ] Appropriate image resolution for target device (no loading 4K images for thumbnails)
+- [ ] `Image.asset` with `cacheWidth`/`cacheHeight` to decode at display size
+- [ ] Placeholder and error widgets provided for network images
+
+### Lazy loading:
+- [ ] `ListView.builder` / `GridView.builder` used instead of `ListView(children: [...])` for large or dynamic lists (concrete constructors are fine for small, static lists)
+- [ ] Pagination implemented for large data sets
+- [ ] Deferred loading (`deferred as`) used for heavy libraries in web builds
+
+### Other:
+- [ ] `Opacity` widget avoided in animations — use `AnimatedOpacity` or `FadeTransition`
+- [ ] Clipping avoided in animations — pre-clip images
+- [ ] `operator ==` not overridden on widgets — use `const` constructors instead
+- [ ] Intrinsic dimension widgets (`IntrinsicHeight`, `IntrinsicWidth`) used sparingly (extra layout pass)
+
+---
+
+## 6. Testing
+
+### Test types and expectations:
+- [ ] **Unit tests**: Cover all business logic (state managers, repositories, utility functions)
+- [ ] **Widget tests**: Cover individual widget behavior, interactions, and visual output
+- [ ] **Integration tests**: Cover critical user flows end-to-end
+- [ ] **Golden tests**: Pixel-perfect comparisons for design-critical UI components
+
+### Coverage targets:
+- [ ] Aim for 80%+ line coverage on business logic
+- [ ] All state transitions have corresponding tests (loading → success, loading → error, retry, etc.)
+- [ ] Edge cases tested: empty states, error states, loading states, boundary values
+
+### Test isolation:
+- [ ] External dependencies (API clients, databases, services) are mocked or faked
+- [ ] Each test file tests exactly one class/unit
+- [ ] Tests verify behavior, not implementation details
+- [ ] Stubs define only the behavior needed for each test (minimal stubbing)
+- [ ] No shared mutable state between test cases
+
+### Widget test quality:
+- [ ] `pumpWidget` and `pump` used correctly for async operations
+- [ ] `find.byType`, `find.text`, `find.byKey` used appropriately
+- [ ] No flaky tests depending on timing — use `pumpAndSettle` or explicit `pump(Duration)`
+- [ ] Tests run in CI and failures block merges
+
+---
+
+## 7. Accessibility
+
+### Semantic widgets:
+- [ ] `Semantics` widget used to provide screen reader labels where automatic labels are insufficient
+- [ ] `ExcludeSemantics` used for purely decorative elements
+- [ ] `MergeSemantics` used to combine related widgets into a single accessible element
+- [ ] Images have `semanticLabel` property set
+
+### Screen reader support:
+- [ ] All interactive elements are focusable and have meaningful descriptions
+- [ ] Focus order is logical (follows visual reading order)
+
+### Visual accessibility:
+- [ ] Contrast ratio >= 4.5:1 for text against background
+- [ ] Tappable targets are at least 48x48 pixels
+- [ ] Color is not the sole indicator of state (use icons/text alongside)
+- [ ] Text scales with system font size settings
+
+### Interaction accessibility:
+- [ ] No no-op `onPressed` callbacks — every button does something or is disabled
+- [ ] Error fields suggest corrections
+- [ ] Context does not change unexpectedly while user is inputting data
+
+---
+
+## 8. Platform-Specific Concerns
+
+### iOS/Android differences:
+- [ ] Platform-adaptive widgets used where appropriate
+- [ ] Back navigation handled correctly (Android back button, iOS swipe-to-go-back)
+- [ ] Status bar and safe area handled via `SafeArea` widget
+- [ ] Platform-specific permissions declared in `AndroidManifest.xml` and `Info.plist`
+
+### Responsive design:
+- [ ] `LayoutBuilder` or `MediaQuery` used for responsive layouts
+- [ ] Breakpoints defined consistently (phone, tablet, desktop)
+- [ ] Text doesn't overflow on small screens — use `Flexible`, `Expanded`, `FittedBox`
+- [ ] Landscape orientation tested or explicitly locked
+- [ ] Web-specific: mouse/keyboard interactions supported, hover states present
+
+---
+
+## 9. Security
+
+### Secure storage:
+- [ ] Sensitive data (tokens, credentials) stored using platform-secure storage (Keychain on iOS, EncryptedSharedPreferences on Android)
+- [ ] Never store secrets in plaintext storage
+- [ ] Biometric authentication gating considered for sensitive operations
+
+### API key handling:
+- [ ] API keys NOT hardcoded in Dart source — use `--dart-define`, `.env` files excluded from VCS, or compile-time configuration
+- [ ] Secrets not committed to git — check `.gitignore`
+- [ ] Backend proxy used for truly secret keys (client should never hold server secrets)
+
+### Input validation:
+- [ ] All user input validated before sending to API
+- [ ] Form validation uses proper validation patterns
+- [ ] No raw SQL or string interpolation of user input
+- [ ] Deep link URLs validated and sanitized before navigation
+
+### Network security:
+- [ ] HTTPS enforced for all API calls
+- [ ] Certificate pinning considered for high-security apps
+- [ ] Authentication tokens refreshed and expired properly
+- [ ] No sensitive data logged or printed
+
+---
+
+## 10. Package/Dependency Review
+
+### Evaluating pub.dev packages:
+- [ ] Check **pub points score** (aim for 130+/160)
+- [ ] Check **likes** and **popularity** as community signals
+- [ ] Verify the publisher is **verified** on pub.dev
+- [ ] Check last publish date — stale packages (>1 year) are a risk
+- [ ] Review open issues and response time from maintainers
+- [ ] Check license compatibility with your project
+- [ ] Verify platform support covers your targets
+
+### Version constraints:
+- [ ] Use caret syntax (`^1.2.3`) for dependencies — allows compatible updates
+- [ ] Pin exact versions only when absolutely necessary
+- [ ] Run `flutter pub outdated` regularly to track stale dependencies
+- [ ] No dependency overrides in production `pubspec.yaml` — only for temporary fixes with a comment/issue link
+- [ ] Minimize transitive dependency count — each dependency is an attack surface
+
+### Monorepo-specific (melos/workspace):
+- [ ] Internal packages import only from public API — no `package:other/src/internal.dart` (breaks Dart package encapsulation)
+- [ ] Internal package dependencies use workspace resolution, not hardcoded `path: ../../` relative strings
+- [ ] All sub-packages share or inherit root `analysis_options.yaml`
+
+---
+
+## 11. Navigation and Routing
+
+### General principles (apply to any routing solution):
+- [ ] One routing approach used consistently — no mixing imperative `Navigator.push` with a declarative router
+- [ ] Route arguments are typed — no `Map<String, dynamic>` or `Object?` casting
+- [ ] Route paths defined as constants, enums, or generated — no magic strings scattered in code
+- [ ] Auth guards/redirects centralized — not duplicated across individual screens
+- [ ] Deep links configured for both Android and iOS
+- [ ] Deep link URLs validated and sanitized before navigation
+- [ ] Navigation state is testable — route changes can be verified in tests
+- [ ] Back behavior is correct on all platforms
+
+---
+
+## 12. Error Handling
+
+### Framework error handling:
+- [ ] `FlutterError.onError` overridden to capture framework errors (build, layout, paint)
+- [ ] `PlatformDispatcher.instance.onError` set for async errors not caught by Flutter
+- [ ] `ErrorWidget.builder` customized for release mode (user-friendly instead of red screen)
+- [ ] Global error capture wrapper around `runApp` (e.g., `runZonedGuarded`, Sentry/Crashlytics wrapper)
+
+### Error reporting:
+- [ ] Error reporting service integrated (Firebase Crashlytics, Sentry, or equivalent)
+- [ ] Non-fatal errors reported with stack traces
+- [ ] State management error observer wired to error reporting (e.g., BlocObserver, ProviderObserver, or equivalent for your solution)
+- [ ] User-identifiable info (user ID) attached to error reports for debugging
+
+### Graceful degradation:
+- [ ] API errors result in user-friendly error UI, not crashes
+- [ ] Retry mechanisms for transient network failures
+- [ ] Offline state handled gracefully
+- [ ] Error states in state management carry error info for display
+- [ ] Raw exceptions (network, parsing) are mapped to user-friendly, localized messages before reaching the UI — never show raw exception strings to users
+
+---
+
+## 13. Internationalization (l10n)
+
+### Setup:
+- [ ] Localization solution configured (Flutter's built-in ARB/l10n, easy_localization, or equivalent)
+- [ ] Supported locales declared in app configuration
+
+### Content:
+- [ ] All user-visible strings use the localization system — no hardcoded strings in widgets
+- [ ] Template file includes descriptions/context for translators
+- [ ] ICU message syntax used for plurals, genders, selects
+- [ ] Placeholders defined with types
+- [ ] No missing keys across locales
+
+### Code review:
+- [ ] Localization accessor used consistently throughout the project
+- [ ] Date, time, number, and currency formatting is locale-aware
+- [ ] Text directionality (RTL) supported if targeting Arabic, Hebrew, etc.
+- [ ] No string concatenation for localized text — use parameterized messages
+
+---
+
+## 14. Dependency Injection
+
+### Principles (apply to any DI approach):
+- [ ] Classes depend on abstractions (interfaces), not concrete implementations at layer boundaries
+- [ ] Dependencies provided externally via constructor, DI framework, or provider graph — not created internally
+- [ ] Registration distinguishes lifetime: singleton vs factory vs lazy singleton
+- [ ] Environment-specific bindings (dev/staging/prod) use configuration, not runtime `if` checks
+- [ ] No circular dependencies in the DI graph
+- [ ] Service locator calls (if used) are not scattered throughout business logic
+
+---
+
+## 15. Static Analysis
+
+### Configuration:
+- [ ] `analysis_options.yaml` present with strict settings enabled
+- [ ] Strict analyzer settings: `strict-casts: true`, `strict-inference: true`, `strict-raw-types: true`
+- [ ] A comprehensive lint rule set is included (very_good_analysis, flutter_lints, or custom strict rules)
+- [ ] All sub-packages in monorepos inherit or share the root analysis options
+
+### Enforcement:
+- [ ] No unresolved analyzer warnings in committed code
+- [ ] Lint suppressions (`// ignore:`) are justified with comments explaining why
+- [ ] `flutter analyze` runs in CI and failures block merges
+
+### Key rules to verify regardless of lint package:
+- [ ] `prefer_const_constructors` — performance in widget trees
+- [ ] `avoid_print` — use proper logging
+- [ ] `unawaited_futures` — prevent fire-and-forget async bugs
+- [ ] `prefer_final_locals` — immutability at variable level
+- [ ] `always_declare_return_types` — explicit contracts
+- [ ] `avoid_catches_without_on_clauses` — specific error handling
+- [ ] `always_use_package_imports` — consistent import style

+## State Management Quick Reference
+
+The table below maps universal principles to their implementation in popular solutions. Use this to adapt review rules to whichever solution the project uses.
+
+| Principle | BLoC/Cubit | Riverpod | Provider | GetX | MobX | Signals | Built-in |
+|-----------|-----------|----------|----------|------|------|---------|----------|
+| State container | `Bloc`/`Cubit` | `Notifier`/`AsyncNotifier` | `ChangeNotifier` | `GetxController` | `Store` | `signal()` | `StatefulWidget` |
+| UI consumer | `BlocBuilder` | `ConsumerWidget` | `Consumer` | `Obx`/`GetBuilder` | `Observer` | `Watch` | `setState` |
+| Selector | `BlocSelector`/`buildWhen` | `ref.watch(p.select(...))` | `Selector` | N/A | computed | `computed()` | N/A |
+| Side effects | `BlocListener` | `ref.listen` | `Consumer` callback | `ever()`/`once()` | `reaction` | `effect()` | callbacks |
+| Disposal | auto via `BlocProvider` | `.autoDispose` | auto via `Provider` | `onClose()` | `ReactionDisposer` | manual | `dispose()` |
+| Testing | `blocTest()` | `ProviderContainer` | `ChangeNotifier` directly | `Get.put` in test | store directly | signal directly | widget test |
