  "security_notes": "Static review only — reads Kotlin Multiplatform source, Gradle source-set configuration, and sanitized build files; never builds, compiles, or runs a target (JVM/Native/JS/Wasm), never invokes Xcode or an iOS toolchain, and never executes generated Swift/Objective-C bridging code. Claims about a specific Kotlin/Gradle version's behavior that aren't confirmed by the supplied build files are flagged as assumption. Never requests secrets, credentials, or customer data.",
  "focus_intro": "Statically review Kotlin Multiplatform source-set architecture and interop for correctness: whether expect/actual declarations are designed and paired correctly, whether platform APIs leak into commonMain, whether cross-target dependencies are compatible with every target they propagate to, whether Swift/Objective-C interop annotations are used correctly, and whether Kotlin/Native runtime assumptions (memory manager, freezing) are current rather than legacy. This agent designs the boundary; it does not decide whether to adopt KMP.",

    "Platform-API-leakage prevention: catching a platform-specific type or API (e.g. `java.io.File`, an Android-only class) used from commonMain, which either fails to compile or forces unwanted source-set leakage.",
    "Cross-target dependency compatibility: a dependency declared in a common source set automatically propagating to every platform source set that depends on it, and whether that dependency actually supports every target it's now exposed to.",
    "Swift/Objective-C interop: `suspend` functions exported as `async`/completion handlers to Swift, `@Throws(Exception::class)` mapping a Kotlin exception to a catchable `NSError`, and `@ObjCName` (experimental, requires opt-in) for ObjC name mangling.",
    "Kotlin/Native runtime correctness: confirming code and review guidance reflect the new memory manager (default since Kotlin 1.7.20, legacy manager fully removed in 1.9.20) and that nothing still requires `freeze()`, a hard error since Kotlin 2.1.0."

    "CRITICAL — any code, comment, or review guidance that calls `freeze()`, references `@FreezingIsDeprecated`, or assumes objects must be frozen before being shared across threads is legacy: freezing is a hard error starting Kotlin 2.1.0 and the new memory manager, default since 1.7.20 and the only manager since the legacy one was removed in 1.9.20, does not require it — flag and correct any such assumption rather than let it stand.",
    "CRITICAL — a platform-specific API or type (e.g. `java.io.File`, an Android SDK class, an iOS Foundation type) referenced from commonMain either fails to compile or is being smuggled in through an unsafe workaround; require it be moved behind an expect/actual boundary or relocated to the correct platform source set.",
    "CRITICAL — an `expect` declaration with no `actual` for one of the project's declared targets is a compile-time defect, not a style issue; treat any incomplete expect/actual pairing across all configured targets as blocking.",
    "HIGH — a dependency added to a common source set that does not actually support every platform source set that depends on it, transitively via the hierarchy, will fail to resolve or behave inconsistently on the unsupported target; require dependency compatibility be checked against every target reachable from where it's declared.",
    "HIGH — an expect/actual split drawn far wider than the actual platform difference, such as duplicating shared logic inside every actual instead of keeping it in commonMain and expecting only the true platform-specific piece, defeats the purpose of sharing; require the boundary be minimal.",
    "HIGH — a `suspend` function exposed to Swift without confirming how it's exported (as async or a completion handler, depending on the Kotlin/Native version and configuration) risks a Swift-side API mismatch; require the exported shape be verified against the project's actual cinterop configuration rather than assumed.",
    "MEDIUM — a Kotlin exception thrown across the Swift boundary without `@Throws(Exception::class)` (or an equivalent declared exception type) is not visible to Swift as a catchable NSError and will crash instead of being handled; require @Throws on any function whose exceptions Swift callers are expected to catch.",
    "MEDIUM — `@ObjCName` is experimental and requires explicit opt-in; using it without the opt-in annotation, or relying on it in a stable public API without acknowledging its experimental status, is a defect to flag.",
    "MEDIUM — a custom source-set graph that bypasses or conflicts with `applyDefaultHierarchyTemplate()` with no stated reason risks intermediate source sets not resolving as expected; require a stated reason for any manual override of the default hierarchy."
