Reviewing Local Changes

You are performing a code review on the current branch's changes.

Context

• Repository: streamlit/streamlit
• Main branch: develop
• Head branch: !git branch --show-current

Gather additional context as needed:

git and the GitHub CLI (gh) are available for read operations. First, determine the base branch for comparison. Note that a PR may not exist yet for the current branch, in which case develop should be used as base branch:

# Determine base branch: use PR's target branch if available, otherwise fall back to develop
# This supports stacked PRs where the base might be another feature branch
# If no PR exists yet, this falls back to 'develop'
BASE_BRANCH=$(gh pr view --json baseRefName -q .baseRefName 2>/dev/null || echo "develop")
echo "Base branch: $BASE_BRANCH"

# Fetch the base branch to ensure accurate comparison
git fetch origin "$BASE_BRANCH"

# List all changed files (committed, staged, and unstaged) compared to base
git diff --name-only "origin/$BASE_BRANCH...HEAD"  # committed changes on the branch
git diff --name-only HEAD                          # uncommitted changes (staged + unstaged)

# Full diff of all changes compared to base (committed + uncommitted)
git diff "origin/$BASE_BRANCH"

You can also get PR details if a PR exists:

# Check if a PR exists for the current branch
gh pr view --json number,title,url,body,headRefName,baseRefName -R streamlit/streamlit || echo "No PR found for this branch."

Goal

Review this branch's changes and ensure the changes are bug-free, backwards compatible, and ready for merge.

Review Checklist

• Unit and e2e tests are covering the changes well.
• Important: Changes follow the best practices documented in the relevant AGENTS.md files (read the ones that apply to the changed files):
  • e2e_playwright/AGENTS.md — for e2e tests (inside e2e_playwright/)
  • frontend/AGENTS.md — for frontend changes and unit tests (inside frontend/)
  • lib/tests/AGENTS.md — for Python unit tests (inside lib/tests/)
  • lib/AGENTS.md — for any Python changes (*.py files)
  • lib/streamlit/AGENTS.md — for any Python library changes (inside lib/streamlit/)
  • proto/streamlit/proto/AGENTS.md — for protobuf changes (inside proto/streamlit/proto/)
• No risky aspects that could cause security issues or regressions. Pay closer attention to changes in these security-sensitive areas:
  • WebSocket connection handling, server endpoints, authentication, and session management
  • File upload, file/asset serving, and path traversal risks
  • Cookies, XSRF protection, CORS, cross-origin behavior, and security headers (CSP, etc.)
  • New backend or frontend dependencies, or requests to external assets/services
  • Runtime JavaScript execution (e.g., eval, unsafe-eval, Function() constructor)
  • Command/code injection risks (e.g., subprocess, exec, eval in Python)
  • HTML/Markdown rendering and sanitization (XSS risks)
  • iframe embedding and postMessage handling
  • Sensitive data handling (secrets, credentials, tokens)
  • st.login()/st.logout() and OAuth token handling
• External-test risk is explicitly assessed using /assessing-external-test-risk, and the review includes a clear external_test recommendation.
• Frontend changes follow accessibility best practices.
• The code follows other best practices from the Streamlit code base.

Instructions

1. Read the root AGENTS.md first to get an overview of the project.
2. Gather relevant context (branch diff, PR details if available).
3. Read and analyze the changed files to understand the full context.
4. Important: Read the relevant sub-directory AGENTS.md files based on changed files (see checklist above).
5. Run an explicit external-test risk assessment using /assessing-external-test-risk and determine whether this branch should include @pytest.mark.external_test coverage.
6. Evaluate readability: run the /reviewing-readability skill on the changed code (comments, docstrings, naming) and the /reviewing-pr-description skill on the PR title/description if a PR exists, and include their findings and proposed rewrites in your review.
7. Perform a thorough code review based on the checklist above.
8. Write your review following the output format below.

Output Format

Write your review using valid GitHub Flavored Markdown in the following structure:

## Summary

[Brief overview and the main changes introduced.]

## Code Quality

[Brief assessment of code structure, patterns, and maintainability. Note any issues with specific file references and line numbers.]

## Test Coverage

[Evaluation of unit and e2e test coverage. Are the changes adequately tested?]

## Backwards Compatibility

[Analysis of any breaking changes. Will this affect existing users?]

## Security & Risk

[Any security concerns or regression risks identified.]

## External test recommendation

[State `external_test` recommendation (Yes/No), triggered categories (or "None"), key evidence from changed files, suggested external test focus areas, and confidence plus assumptions/gaps.]

## Accessibility

[Assessment of accessibility considerations for frontend changes.]

## Readability

[Findings from the `/reviewing-readability` skill (comments, docstrings, naming) and, if a PR exists, the `/reviewing-pr-description` skill (title/description). Group by file; give the location, the issue, and the proposed rewrite.]

## Recommendations

[Specific suggestions for improvement, if any. Use a numbered list for actionable items.]

## Verdict

**[APPROVED / CHANGES REQUESTED]**: [One sentence summary of the overall assessment.]

Verdict criteria:
- **APPROVED**: If there are no critical/merge-blocking issues. Minor suggestions or optional improvements should not block approval — those can be addressed in follow-up PRs.
- **CHANGES REQUESTED**: Only use this for merge-blocking issues such as: bugs, security vulnerabilities, breaking changes, missing required tests, or violations of documented patterns. Optional improvements, style preferences, and "nice to have" suggestions should NOT result in CHANGES REQUESTED.

Important Notes

• Do NOT run linting, tests, or build commands - focus only on code review.
• Do NOT attempt to post comments, edit PRs, or perform any write operations.
• Focus on the root cause of issues, not cascading failures.
• Be specific with file references and line numbers when noting issues.
• Findings that are covered by inline comments should NOT be repeated in the PR-level review body. The PR-level review covers high-level and cross-cutting concerns only. Inline comments handle line-specific findings.
