## Code Review Comments Template

```markdown
### Performance Concern
**Severity**: Medium  
**Location**: `src/users/service.ts:45`

**Issue**: This query causes N+1 problem when loading users with posts.

**Suggestion**:
\`\`\`typescript
// Instead of:
const users = await User.find();
for (const user of users) {
  user.posts = await Post.find({ userId: user.id });
}

// Use:
const users = await User.find().populate('posts');
\`\`\`

### Security Vulnerability
**Severity**: High  
**Location**: `src/api/users.ts:23`

**Issue**: User input not validated, vulnerable to SQL injection.

**Suggestion**:
\`\`\`typescript
// Use parameterized queries
const user = await db.query(
  'SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?',
  [req.params.id]
);
\`\`\`
```
