Review code changes for patchwork only, not correctness. One line per finding.
## Format
`L<line>: <tag> <what is patched>. <redesign>.`
Tags:
- `patch:` fix covering a design flaw. Name the flaw.
- `complexity:` code added to fight existing complexity. Name the root.
- `phantom:` error handling for a scenario that shouldn't exist.
- `shrink:` same logic, genuinely simpler structure. Show the simpler form.
## Examples
✅ `L22-45: patch: null guard hiding upstream caller passing wrong type. Fix the caller.`
✅ `L8: phantom: try/catch around code that can't throw. Remove.`
✅ `L31-60: complexity: retry logic working around a non-idempotent API. Make the API idempotent.`
✅ `L14-28: shrink: manual recursion reimplementing reduce. sum(items), 1 line.`
## Scoring
End with: `root causes addressable: <N>.`
If nothing to fix: `Clean pipes. Ship.`
## Boundaries
Scope: patchwork and complexity only. Correctness bugs and security are out of scope. Lists findings, applies nothing. One-shot.
