review-has-no-storage-dependency
IN premise
The review module operates entirely on an in-memory `nodes` dict (from `export_network()`) and never reads from or writes to the database directly.
Summary
The review system works purely with a snapshot of data passed to it in memory, rather than connecting to the database itself. This means it has no side effects on stored data and can be tested or run without any database being present.
Dependents
These beliefs depend on this one:
- review-is-read-only-and-fault-tolerant — The review module operates entirely on in-memory snapshots with no storage dependency, handles missing antecedent references with placeholder text rather than exceptions, and silently skips failed LLM batches — achieving fault-tolerant read-only operation across all failure modes.
