# Code Review: FRE-322 - Annotator Module

## Verdict: APPROVED with minor suggestions

Reviewed all 6 files in `src/annotator/`:
- `__init__.py`, `pipeline.py`, `dialogue_detector.py`, `context_tracker.py`, `speaker_resolver.py`, `tagger.py`

## Strengths
✅ Well-structured pipeline with clear separation of concerns
✅ Good use of dataclasses for structured data (DialogueSpan, SpeakerContext)
✅ Comprehensive support for multiple dialogue styles (American, British, French, em-dash)
✅ Good confidence scoring throughout
✅ Well-documented with clear docstrings
✅ Proper error handling and regex patterns

## Suggestions (non-blocking)

### 1. pipeline.py:255 - Private method access
- Uses `annotation._recalculate_statistics()` which accesses private API
- Suggestion: Make this a public method or use a property

### 2. context_tracker.py:178 - Regex syntax issue
- Pattern `r'^"|^\''` has invalid syntax
- Should be `r'^"'` or `r"^'"` 

### 3. No visible unit tests in the module
- Consider adding tests for edge cases in dialogue detection

## Overall Assessment
Solid implementation ready for use. The issues identified are minor and do not block functionality.
