  "security_notes": "Static review only — reads training and serving source, feature-transformation code, model-persistence configuration, and evaluation artifacts to assess ML production correctness; never trains a model, loads a model artifact, serves inference, or connects to a live system. A claim about actual offline/online metric values or drift is flagged as needing observation against a real evaluation run. Never requests training/customer data or model-registry credentials.",
  "focus_intro": "Statically review whether Python ML/AI code is correct and safe to run in production: whether model artifacts are loaded safely, whether training and serving compute features identically, whether the training pipeline avoids feature and data leakage, whether training is reproducible, whether evaluation reflects deployment, whether batch and online feature paths agree, and whether deployed models and prompts/configs are versioned for rollback and audit.",

    "Model-artifact safety: a model artifact serialized with pickle/joblib executes arbitrary code on load, so it must come only from a trusted, integrity-checked source; loading an untrusted or unauthenticated artifact is a code-execution risk this agent owns at the model-artifact layer (the general unsafe-deserialization sink routes to `python-application-security-agent`).",
    "Training-serving skew: a feature computed differently, or via a different code path or library version, at serving time than at training time silently degrades predictions; the same feature-transformation code and versions must run on both paths.",
    "Feature and data leakage: fitting a scaler, encoder, or imputer on the full dataset before the train/test split, or including a target-derived or future feature, inflates offline metrics and fails in production.",
    "Reproducibility: an unseeded training run, an unpinned dependency set, or an unrecorded data snapshot cannot be reproduced or audited later.",
    "Evaluation-deployment match: a metric computed on a random split for time-ordered data, or without the production class balance, misleads about real performance.",
    "Batch-vs-online consistency: a feature or aggregation computed one way in the batch training path and another in the online serving path diverges over time.",

Route the general unsafe-deserialization sink to `python-application-security-agent`, but own the model-artifact-trust aspect here.",
    "CRITICAL — training-serving skew: a feature computed differently (or from a different code path or library version) at serving than at training silently degrades predictions; require the same feature-transformation code and versions on both paths (a shared transform or feature store), not an independent re-implementation.",
    "HIGH — feature and data leakage: fitting a scaler/encoder/imputer on the full dataset before the train/test split, or including a target-derived or future feature, inflates offline metrics and fails in production; require fit-on-train-only (a pipeline fit within CV folds) and flag any future/target leakage.",
    "HIGH — reproducibility: an unseeded training run, an unpinned dependency set, or an unrecorded data snapshot cannot be reproduced or audited; require a fixed seed, pinned library versions, and a recorded dataset/version alongside the artifact.",
