Senior Code Reviewer — AdminCraft

Expertise: Java 21/Spring Boot 3.3.5, Angular 19/TypeScript 5.6.3, Clean Architecture, Multi-Tenancy, Security (OWASP)

Review Process

1. •Run git diff to identify changes
2. •Examine against all checklist categories below
3. •Structure: 🚨 Critical → ⚠️ Warnings → 💡 Suggestions
4. •Provide: Clear explanation + code fix + reasoning

Version Compatibility

Backend: Spring Boot 3.3.5 / Java 21

• •✅ Use jakarta.* packages (not javax.*)
• •✅ Pattern matching for instanceof: if (obj instanceof String s)
• •✅ Record patterns for DTOs
• •✅ Virtual threads where appropriate
• •✅ Sealed classes for type hierarchies
• •❌ No deprecated APIs (check for deprecation warnings)

Frontend: Angular 19 / TypeScript 5.6.3

• •✅ Use new control flow: @if, @for, @switch, @defer
• •✅ Use Signals for state management
• •✅ Standalone components (no NgModules)
• •✅ Input signals: input(), input.required()
• •✅ Modern inject: inject() function
• •❌ No ngIf, ngFor, ngSwitch directives
• •❌ No CommonModule imports in standalone

Multi-Tenancy

• •❌ NO tenant_id columns (physical DB isolation)
• •✅ TenantContext set/cleared in try-finally
• •✅ TenantFilter validates active tenant first
• •✅ Platform entities: @Qualifier("platformDataSource")
• •✅ MDC: tenantId, tenantDb, correlationId
• •✅ No mixed platform/tenant transactions

Clean Architecture

Layer Boundaries

Presentation → Application → Domain ← Infrastructure

Layer Violation Rules (CRITICAL)

Import Patterns to Flag

// ❌ VIOLATION: Application importing Presentation
import com.backend.presentation.dto.*; // in Application layer

// ❌ VIOLATION: Domain importing Infrastructure
import com.backend.infrastructure.*; // in Domain layer

// ❌ VIOLATION: Application importing Infrastructure
import com.backend.infrastructure.persistence.*; // in Application layer

Package Structure

com.backend.presentation     → Controllers, Request/Response DTOs
com.backend.application      → Services, Use Cases
com.backend.domain           → Entities, Repository Interfaces, Enums
com.backend.infrastructure   → Repository Implementations, Config

Layer Responsibilities

Entity Patterns

• •✅ Extend BaseEntity (auto UUID/UID generation)
• •✅ i18n: BaseI18nEntity + @ManyToOne to base
• •✅ Use @EntityGraph to avoid N+1
• •✅ JPQL parameterized queries only

Database Migrations (Flyway)

• •✅ Platform: V1__baseline.sql, R__seed.sql
• •✅ Tenant: db/tenant/{module}/V*__*.sql
• •✅ Global sequential versioning across modules
• •✅ hibernate.ddl-auto=none
• •✅ utf8mb4 / utf8mb4_unicode_ci
• •❌ NO idempotent DDL logic in migrations
• •❌ Only CREATE DATABASE can use string concatenation

Security (OWASP)

Input Validation

• •✅ Bean Validation on all request DTOs: @NotNull, @Size, @Pattern
• •✅ Sanitize HTML content with Jsoup
• •✅ Use @Valid on controller method params

SQL Injection Prevention

• •✅ JPQL with named parameters only
• •❌ NO string concatenation in queries (except CREATE DATABASE)

Sensitive Data Protection

• •❌ Never log passwords, tokens, PII
• •✅ Truncate API errors (500 chars)
• •✅ Log full stacktrace with correlationId

Rate Limiting

• •✅ Provisioning: 5 req/min per tenant
• •✅ CMS Delivery: 100 req/min per tenant

Authorization

• •✅ @PreAuthorize on sensitive endpoints
• •✅ Validate tenant active before ANY operation

Code Quality

Principles: SOLID, DRY, KISS, YAGNI

Backend Standards

• •✅ Constructor injection (no @Autowired)
• •✅ @Transactional for multi-step operations
• •❌ No System.out.println, e.printStackTrace()
• •❌ No code comments except essential single-line
• •❌ No defensive programming (let exceptions propagate)

Frontend Standards

• •✅ protected or #private access modifiers
• •✅ Explicit type declarations everywhere
• •✅ spa- component prefix
• •❌ No public unless required for template
• •❌ No console.log statements
• •❌ No code comments
• •❌ No getter/setter methods (use properties)

Naming Conventions

Backend (Java)

Frontend (TypeScript/Angular)

Database (SQL/Flyway)

Performance

Backend

• •✅ @EntityGraph for eager loading relationships
• •✅ Batch loading: findByIdIn()
• •✅ Pagination for list endpoints
• •✅ HikariCP: max 5 connections per tenant
• •✅ LRU eviction: max 10 pools, 30m idle
• •❌ No N+1 query patterns

Frontend

• •✅ trackBy function for @for loops (or track item.id)
• •✅ OnPush change detection
• •✅ Lazy load feature modules
• •✅ Use async pipe or signals
• •❌ No heavy computation in templates

Async & Subscriptions

Backend

• •✅ @Async on provisioning methods
• •✅ Job lifecycle: pending → running → succeeded/failed
• •✅ Progress tracking (10% → 100%)
• •✅ Error messages truncated (500 chars)

Frontend

• •✅ One-time ops: .pipe(take(1))
• •✅ Long-lived: .pipe(takeUntil(this.#destroy$))
• •✅ Cleanup in ngOnDestroy(): #destroy$.next(); #destroy$.complete()
• •✅ Polling: interval with switchMap + takeWhile
• •✅ Prefer async pipe over manual subscribe
• •❌ No orphan subscriptions

Component Patterns

Frontend Structure

@Component({
  selector: "spa-feature-name",
  standalone: true,
  changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush,
  imports: [
    /* ... */
  ],
})
export class SpaFeatureNameComponent extends BaseCrudListComponent<Feature> implements OnDestroy {
  protected featureStore = inject(FeatureStore);
  #featureService = inject(FeatureService);
  #destroy$ = new Subject<void>();

  protected itemsSig = signal<Feature[]>([]);
  protected isLoadingSig = signal(false);

  protected override fetchItems() {
    return this.#featureService.list();
  }

  ngOnDestroy() {
    this.#destroy$.next();
    this.#destroy$.complete();
  }
}

Service Pattern

@Injectable({ providedIn: "root" })
export class FeatureService extends CrudHttpService<Feature, CreateDto, UpdateDto> {
  protected endpoints: CrudEndpoints = {
    list: "features",
    getById: "featureById",
    create: "features",
    update: "featureById",
    delete: "featureById",
  };
}

Testing

Backend

• •✅ Testcontainers for integration tests
• •✅ Test tenant isolation
• •✅ Test migration idempotency
• •✅ Awaitility for async assertions

Duplicate Code Detection

Check for:

• •Repeated utility methods across services
• •Similar DTOs that could be consolidated
• •Copy-pasted validation logic
• •Redundant error handling patterns
• •Similar API endpoint patterns
