Code Review & Pull Request
Shipping unvetted code to production is how outages and security holes happen. This Code Review & Pull Request SOP gives engineering teams a single, enforceable path from an open PR to a clean merge — pairing relentless automated checks with focused human review so reviewers spend their time on architecture and edge cases, not catching syntax errors.
The workflow gates the merge behind machine logic first: CI/CD runs tests, static analysis, and security scans, and a failure blocks the PR and loops the developer back to fix it. Only then does a peer reviewer weigh in, with an escalation path to a senior code owner for intractable disagreements, and a final conflict-resolution loop if main has moved on.
