# Report problems beyond the diff

For AI agents: the [site map](https://agentwranglers.se/llms.txt) lists everything here, and this page sits under [Version control and review](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/engineering/version-control-and-review.md).

By [Agent Wranglers](https://agentwranglers.se/authors/agent-wranglers.md). Updated 2026-10-27.

- ID: ENG-62
- Level: Recommended
- Chapter: [Version control and review](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/engineering/version-control-and-review.md)
- Rule: When the review finds other code that breaks the same rules, report it too, as a separate list.
- Check: The review answers question 5 with a list, or with "none found".
- How: Note every class or module outside the change that fails questions 1 to 4 of the [numbered code review](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/architecture/code-review.md). Keep them apart from the findings that block the change. Turn them into follow-up tasks. When the same problem shows up in many places, [add a check for it](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/ai-assisted-development/measuring-and-improving/check-repeated-mistakes.md).
