- [ ] Are edge cases handled?
- [ ] Is error handling appropriate?

### 2. Code Quality
- [ ] Is the code readable and maintainable?
- [ ] Are functions and variables named clearly?
- [ ] Is there unnecessary duplication?
- [ ] Are comments helpful and accurate?

### 3. Security
- [ ] Input validation present?

## Output Format

For each finding, provide:
1. **Location**: File and line number
2. **Severity**: Critical / High / Medium / Low
3. **Issue**: Clear description of the problem
4. **Suggestion**: How to fix it
5. **Example**: Code snippet showing the fix (if applicable)

## Example Review Comment

**Location**: `src/api/users.go:42`
**Severity**: High
**Issue**: SQL query built using string concatenation
**Suggestion**: Use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection
**Example**:
```go
// Before (vulnerable)
query := "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = " + userID

// After (safe)
query := "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?"
db.Query(query, userID)
```
