Web search: "[provider] latest model [current year]" (for each provider in the codebase)

**Step 3: Verify EACH model found against your web search results.**

For every model string found:
- Is this model still available?
- Is this model still recommended for this use case?
- Is there a newer/better option?
- Should this be an environment variable instead of hardcoded?

**Red flags:**
- Hardcoded model strings (should be env vars)
- Model names without version suffixes
- Any model you haven't verified exists TODAY

**Step 4: Determine correct models for each use case.**

Based on your web search, identify the right model for each use case in the app:
- Fast/cheap responses → [research current cheap models]
- Complex reasoning → [research current reasoning models]
- Code generation → [research current coding models]
- Long context → [research current large-context models]

Do not assume you know these. Research them.

**Review each prompt against the checklist:**
- [ ] States goal, not steps
- [ ] Uses Role + Objective + Latitude
- [ ] Trusts model judgment
- [ ] No defensive over-specification
- [ ] Would you give this to a senior engineer?

undefined

**Eval coverage should include:**
- [ ] Happy path tests
- [ ] Edge cases (empty input, long input, unicode)
- [ ] Adversarial inputs (injection attempts)
- [ ] Red team security tests
- [ ] Cost/latency assertions

undefined

**Observability should cover:**
- [ ] Every LLM call wrapped with tracing
- [ ] User ID attached to traces
- [ ] Token usage captured
- [ ] Errors captured with context
- [ ] Costs calculable from traces
