Root cause: review formula had no infrastructure-file-specific checklist and
no scope discipline check. The reviewer treated a docker-compose.yml rewrite
the same as any code change, and lessons-learned biased toward approval.

Changes:
- Add step 3c (infrastructure file review) to formulas/review-pr.toml:
  compose-specific checklist for volumes, bind mounts, env vars, restart
  policy, security options
- Add step 3d (scope discipline) to formulas/review-pr.toml: compare
  actual diff size against issue scope, block on infra-file scope violations
- Add investigation writeup in docs/

Summary

CI is not required for this non-code PR. The investigation is well-structured and steps 3c and 3d are correctly implemented. However, one root cause fix was described but not applied.

Findings

  • medium formulas/review-pr.toml (step 8): Root cause 3 in the investigation states "the review formula now explicitly carves out infrastructure files from the 'bias toward APPROVE' guidance" — but step 8 was not updated. The approval bias note still only exempts steps 3b and 7:

    Note: The bias toward APPROVE applies to code correctness and style decisions. It does NOT apply to documentation consistency (step 3b) or tech-debt filing (step 7)…

    Step 3c is absent from this list. A future reviewer will find dropped volumes via 3c, then hit the step 8 framing ("bias toward APPROVE," "reserve request_changes for genuinely blocking concerns") and suppress it — exactly the same failure mode as PR #683. The fix is incomplete. Step 8 must be updated to add: "It does NOT apply to infrastructure file findings (step 3c) — dropped production configuration is a blocking defect, not a style preference."

  • low docs/investigation-685-reviewer-approved-destructive-compose.md:9: The summary says "Five structural gaps" but the document identifies 6 root causes (sections 1–6). Update the count or collapse one section.

What to fix

  1. In formulas/review-pr.toml step 8, extend the carve-out note to include step 3c:

    It does NOT apply to documentation consistency (step 3b), infrastructure file findings (step 3c), or tech-debt filing (step 7).

  2. Fix the "Five" → "Six" count in the investigation summary (or consolidate root causes 5 and 6 as sub-points of root cause 4 if the intent was five).

Verdict

REQUEST_CHANGES — Step 8 approval bias carve-out for infrastructure files was not applied, leaving the root cause of the original incident intact.

AI Re-review (round 2)

Previous Findings\n- medium step 8 approval-bias carve-out missing step 3c → FIXED: Step 8 now reads "It does NOT apply to documentation consistency (step 3b), infrastructure file findings (step 3c), or tech-debt filing (step 7)" with an explicit note that dropped production configuration is a blocking defect, not a style preference.\n- low "Five structural gaps" count wrong → FIXED: Updated to "Six structural gaps" in the investigation summary.\n\n### New Issues\n\nNone. The incremental diff is minimal and targeted — exactly the two lines/paragraphs that the previous review identified. No regressions introduced.

Verdict

APPROVE — Both previous findings fixed: step 8 carve-out now includes 3c, count updated to Six
