Review Dimensions

Dimension	Weight	Focus
Code Quality	25%	TypeScript types, component structure, error handling
Accessibility	25%	Semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard nav, contrast, focus-visible
Design Compliance	20%	Token usage, no hardcoded colors, no emoji icons
UX Best Practices	15%	Loading/error/empty states, cursor-pointer, responsive
Pre-Delivery	15%	No console.log, dark mode, i18n readiness

---

Phase 2: Context Loading

Input	Source	Required
Design tokens	<session-folder>/architecture/design-tokens.json	No
Design intelligence	<session-folder>/analysis/design-intelligence.json	No
Shared memory	<session-folder>/shared-memory.json	No
Previous QA results	<session-folder>/qa/audit-fe-*.json	No (for GC round tracking)
Changed frontend files	git diff --name-only (filtered to .tsx, .jsx, .css, .scss)	Yes

Determine GC round from previous QA result count. Max 2 rounds.

---

Phase 3: 5-Dimension Review

For each changed frontend file, check against all 5 dimensions. Score each dimension 0-10, deducting for issues found.

Check Execution Strategy

Check Scope	Applies To	Method
Per-file checks	Items 1-4, 7-8, 10-13, 16	Run against each changed file individually
Global checks	Items 5-6, 9, 14-15	Run against concatenated content of all files

Detection example (check for hardcoded colors):

Grep(pattern="#[0-9a-fA-F]{6}", path="<file_path>", output_mode="content", "-n"=true)

Detection example (check for missing alt text):

Grep(pattern="<img\\s(?![^>]*alt=)", path="<file_path>", output_mode="content", "-n"=true)

Detection example (check for console.log):

Grep(pattern="console\\.(log|debug|info)", path="<file_path>", output_mode="content", "-n"=true)

Scoring & Verdict

Overall Score Calculation

overall_score = (code_quality * 0.25) +
                (accessibility * 0.25) +
                (design_compliance * 0.20) +
                (ux_best_practices * 0.15) +
                (pre_delivery * 0.15)

Each dimension scored 0-10, deductions applied per issue severity.

Verdict Routing

Condition	Verdict
Score >= 8 AND no critical issues	PASS
GC round >= max (2) AND score >= 6	PASS_WITH_WARNINGS
GC round >= max (2) AND score < 6	FAIL
Otherwise	NEEDS_FIX

Pre-Delivery Checklist Verdict

Condition	Result
Zero CRITICAL + zero HIGH failures	PASS
Zero CRITICAL, some HIGH	CONDITIONAL (list fixes needed)
Any CRITICAL failure	FAIL

---

Generator-Critic Loop

Orchestrated by orchestrator (not by this agent):

Round 1: DEV-FE-001 --> QA-FE-001
  if NEEDS_FIX --> orchestrator creates DEV-FE-002 + QA-FE-002
Round 2: DEV-FE-002 --> QA-FE-002
  if still NEEDS_FIX --> PASS_WITH_WARNINGS or FAIL (max 2 rounds)

Convergence criteria: score >= 8 AND critical_count = 0

---

Phase 4: Report

Write audit to <session-folder>/qa/audit-fe-<task>-r<round>.json.
