+# Dev-Loop Session — 2026-05-15 14:28 UTC
+
+**Cron ID:** 5342ac81-4bbc-4e4c-a123-347a7788d50c  
+**Session:** review-bot-dev-loop  
+**Objective:** Identify high-value improvement opportunities in steady-state project
+
+## Current State
+
+- **Project Status:** ✅ Steady state, all tests passing
+- **Code Coverage:** 76.7% overall, 53.3% for cmd/review-bot
+- **Recent Work:** v0.4.0 released, 4 PRs merged
+- **Last Commit:** 6fa3cb9 — cycle status checkpoint
+- **Working Tree:** Clean, no uncommitted changes
+
+## Analysis
+
+### High-Value Opportunities
+
+1. **Unit Test Coverage Gaps (cmd/review-bot)**
+   - Main function: 31.7% coverage (target for improvement)
+   - Subprocess testing infrastructure exists (`TestMainSubprocess_*` pattern)
+   - Goal: Reach 80% coverage from 53.3%
+   - Impact: Better regression protection, easier refactoring
+
+2. **Integration Test Framework**
+   - Existing: `integration_test.go` with full review flow tested
+   - Opportunity: Add edge case coverage (network timeouts, malformed inputs, rate limiting)
+   - Tools: Already uses subprocess pattern from validation tests
+
+3. **Performance Profiling**
+   - doc-map filtering currently unoptimized
+   - No benchmarks in place for path-scoping logic
+   - Opportunity: Add pprof benchmarks, document baseline metrics
+
+4. **Documentation Gaps**
+   - Composite action examples in README (incomplete)
+   - Multi-reviewer setup: partially documented
+   - Specialized review types: needs examples
+
+## Recommendation
+
+**Unit test improvements** for cmd/review-bot are the highest-value work:
+- Lower risk than new features
+- Builds on existing subprocess testing infrastructure
+- Delivers immediate coverage gains
+- Sets foundation for future refactoring
+
+## Status: STEADY STATE — NO NEW ASSIGNMENTS
+
+Repo is healthy and ready for next feature work. Standing by for Aaron's direction.
