  crosscheck --> next_move["Leave with one next decision, page, or command"]

Read the first diagram as a timing map: this guide is for a named pressure, not for wandering the whole course-book. Read the second diagram as the guide loop: arrive with a concrete question, use only the matching sections, then leave with one smaller and more honest next move.

Use this worksheet after a module or before changing the capstone. The goal is not only to agree with the architecture. The goal is to inspect whether the evidence justifies it.

Purity

  • Which package or function is still pure here?
  • Which value shapes keep local reasoning cheap?
  • Which helper would become harder to trust if it pulled I/O inward?

Effects

  • Which shell, capability, or adapter is allowed to execute the effect?
  • Is the effect boundary named clearly enough that another engineer would find it quickly?
  • Does the functional core stay descriptive after the boundary is introduced?

Failure and streaming

  • Which failures are values, and which are still exceptions?
  • Where does the pipeline materialize a sequence, and why there?
  • Which retry, timeout, or backpressure choice is policy rather than accidental behavior?

Proof

  • Which test folder or tour artifact proves the current claim?
  • Which command should you run before accepting the boundary?
  • Which question from Functional Review Checklist is most relevant to this review?
