## GitHub Issue: AgentCLI's 'Production Code Review' Feature Aims to Catch Critical Security Flaws Before Deployment
A proposed feature for AgentCLI, an AI-powered coding assistant, reveals a critical gap in its current workflow: it presents AI-generated code to users without any automated validation for common, dangerous production anti-patterns. This exposes projects to significant security and stability risks, especially for the tool's target audience of less experienced developers aiming to build "production-grade applications." The agent currently lacks a safety net, potentially serving up code with SQL injection vulnerabilities, exposed sensitive data, or missing error handling directly to unsuspecting users.

The proposed solution is a 'Post-generation code review pass'—a new `CodeReviewStep` integrated into the `AgentLoop`. Before any generated code diff is presented for user approval, a fast static analysis layer would scan for a defined set of high-severity issues. These include SQL string interpolation (a direct injection risk), `console.log` statements leaking sensitive data, missing error handling on async operations, hardcoded credentials or localhost URLs, and unhandled Promise rejections. The architecture, outlined in a `code-reviewer.ts` interface, suggests the agent would self-correct upon finding issues, acting as a mandatory pre-commit gatekeeper.

This feature request underscores a pivotal tension in the rapid adoption of AI coding tools: the trade-off between developer velocity and foundational application security. For platforms like AgentCLI targeting broad adoption, the absence of such automated guardrails could lead to the systematic introduction of vulnerabilities into codebases, eroding trust in the tool's 'production-grade' promise. Implementing this review layer shifts responsibility from the end-user's vigilance to the agent's architecture, a necessary evolution for any AI tool operating in a security-critical domain.
