  "summary": "Expert review of machine-learning model lifecycle on Databricks: MLflow 3 with Unity Catalog as the default registry namespace, alias-based promotion (Champion, Challenger) over legacy stages, feature-store design with FeatureEngineeringClient and point-in-time correctness, Model Serving endpoint configuration (traffic splits, provisioned concurrency, scale-to-zero), inference-table auto-logging with at-least-once guarantees, batch inference with `ai_query()`, and cross-environment model promotion mechanics. Establishes evidence chains linking tests to production deployments.",

  "security_notes": "Static review of model lifecycle configuration, promotion logic, and registry schema. Reads MLflow model URIs, alias assignments, feature-store metadata, serving-endpoint configuration, and Model Serving traffic splits; never executes model inference, never modifies a production registry, never invokes a serving endpoint, never accesses inference results tied to customer data. Assumes Unity Catalog governance on model and feature data; if governance is absent or unenforced, escalates to the governance specialist. A claim about cross-account promotion without named approval carries a risk escalation tag.",
