### Comment Guidelines:

- **HIGH CONFIDENCE ONLY**: Only suggest changes you are highly confident will improve the code

- **HIGH CONFIDENCE ONLY**: Only suggest changes you are highly confident will improve the code. It is okay to post zero comments if you have no confident suggestions.
1717
- Post one inline comment per distinct issue and location, anchored to the exact file and line in the PR diff
1818
- Provide clear explanations of issues and suggest concrete improvements. When proposing code, do NOT use GitHub suggestion blocks. Instead, include regular fenced code blocks with appropriate language tags and, where useful, show “Current code:” and “Suggested improvement:” sections

- Use a constructive, helpful tone - focus on the code, not the person

- Include examples of better approaches when suggesting changes
21-
- Prioritize critical issues over minor style preferences
2221
- Do not group multiple issues into a single comment; if an issue spans multiple locations, post separate inline comments and mention they are related
2322
- **Quality over quantity**: Better to miss some issues than create noise with low-value suggestions
