Artifact Under Review

• Instance reviewed: Python source code in src/pretty_table/ and its tests in tests/ (task 9 of MIL-001, Go criterion 6)
• Checklist used: QC-PY-001 (qc-programming-python.md)
• Scope: full review
• Language and domain: n/a (technical type)
• Language reviewer: none

Checklist Results

#	Criterion	Status	Evidence/Notes
1	PEP 8 casing	Pass	Modules constants.py, main.py; functions create_table, main; constants COLUMN_NAME, POKEMON
2	Names state purpose; no abbreviations	Pass	Minor: the comprehension variable type_ in main.py could be pokemon_type, which avoids the trailing underscore. Not a defect
3	Formatter and linter pass, no suppressions	Pass	ruff format --check . reports 17 files already formatted; ruff check . passes; no noqa comments
4	Every signature annotated	Pass	create_table() -> PrettyTable, main() -> None, all test functions annotated
5	No bare except or swallowed exceptions	N-A	The code has no exception handling
6	No mutable defaults, no shadowed builtins	Pass	No default arguments; no builtin names shadowed
7	Context managers for files, locks and connections	N-A	The code opens no files, locks or connections
8	Docstrings say what, not how	Pass	Every module and function has a Doxygen docstring
9	logging instead of print; no secrets in output	Pass	main() uses print to produce the program's required output, not diagnostics; no secrets or personal data are printed
10	Classes and operations trace to a DCD	N-A	The task is a plain technical task (MIL-001 task 3, no use case or DCD); there is no DCD in the project
11	Tests for new behaviour, named for the behaviour, order- and network-independent	Pass	8 tests in tests/test_main.py and tests/test_constants.py; python -m pytest passes
12	Type checker strict, Any justified	Pass	mypy (strict, set in pyproject.toml) reports no issues in 7 source files; no Any
13	Dependencies declared and pinned, none unused	Pass	prettytable>=3.10 is declared and used; dev tools are in the dev extra. The pin is a lower bound, not an exact version

Overall Verdict

Go — every mandatory criterion passes or does not apply, and the optional criteria pass. This satisfies Go criterion 6 of MIL-001. The author and the reviewer are both S01, the only stakeholder, as in RC-001 to RC-003.

Action Items

Action	Owner	Due
Optionally rename type_ to pokemon_type in main.py	S01	next change to main.py
Re-review RC-001 to RC-003 against the checklists in framework/qc/, which were missing when those records were written	S01	when convenient
