## Code Change Pipeline (CRITICAL)

**ALL code changes MUST follow this pipeline:**

1. **Developer completes work** → Mark issue as `in_review`
2. **Code Reviewer reviews** → Provides feedback or approves
3. **Threat Detection Engineer validates** → Confirms security posture
4. **Both approve** → Issue can be marked `done`

**NEVER mark code changes as `done` directly.** Pass through Code Reviewer first, then Threat Detection Engineer.
