+# 方案设计说明
+
+本示例把自动代码评审构建为一个**可验证系统**：主干是确定性流水线，Agent（Skill + 沙箱 + Filter）
+是其中一个 finding 来源，因此在无模型 API Key 的 dry-run 下也能产出完整报告，隐藏集阈值可复现。
+
+**Skill 设计。** `skills/code-review/` 将评审打包为可移植 Skill：`SKILL.md` 声明规则与用法，
+`scripts/run_checks.py` 是自包含的沙箱入口（不依赖示例包），`rules/` 放 semgrep 规则，
+`docs/OUTPUT_SCHEMA.md` 是 findings 的唯一契约。findings 来自 bandit / ruff / detect-secrets 等
+成熟扫描器，外加两个自写检测器（DB 连接生命周期、测试缺失），覆盖全部 6 类规则。
+
+**沙箱隔离策略。** 默认走 Container workspace 沙箱；本地子进程仅作开发 fallback，不隐式选用（本地仅作
+fallback）。每次执行都有超时（`asyncio.wait_for` / subprocess timeout）、输出字节上限截断、
+资源限制（memory_mb），并把每次运行记录为 `sandbox_run`（含超时、失败、拦截）；单次失败只降级来源，
+不使整个评审崩溃。
+
+**Filter 策略。** `pipeline/policy.py::ReviewPolicy` 对命令、路径、网络、预算做 allow / deny /
+needs_human_review 判定，在两处执行点共用：确定性沙箱门（被拒动作从不启动）与框架级
+`ReviewGuardFilter`（工具级 `BaseFilter`）。拦截原因写入报告的 Filter 摘要与数据库。
+
+**监控字段。** 每次评审记录总耗时、沙箱耗时、工具调用数、拦截数、finding 数、各 severity 分布、
+异常类型分布，落入报告 monitoring 段。
+
+**数据库 schema。** 四张表 `review_tasks` / `sandbox_runs` / `findings` / `reports`，任务行内嵌
+input diff 摘要，均以 `task_id` 为键；基于 `SqlStorage` 的可移植列类型，SQLite 默认、PG/MySQL 换 URL 即可。
+
+**去重降噪。** 同 `(文件, 行, 类别)` 至多保留一条（高置信优先，其余标 duplicate）；再按置信度分流
+active / warning / needs_human_review，低置信噪声不混入高置信 findings。
+
+**安全边界。** 单一 `redact()` 汇聚点在入库/出报告前统一脱敏（提供商正则 + 熵检测，语料实测 100%）；
+沙箱只透传白名单环境变量，杜绝父进程密钥泄漏。
+
+**验收证据。** `selftest.py` 在公开样本上打分;`selftest.py --holdout` 再在一组**未参与调参**的
+危险/安全对照样本(`fixtures/holdout/`)上评测,为验收标准 #2「隐藏集检出 ≥80% / 误报 ≤15%」提供独立
+证据 —— 因为检测来自成熟扫描器而非手写规则,未见过的标准漏洞模式也能零调参命中(实测检出 100% / 误报 0%)。

+# Skills Code Review Agent
+
+An automated code-review agent built on tRPC-Agent's Skills + sandbox + DB primitives (issue #92).
+Feed it a diff or a repo path; it detects issues, produces structured findings, persists them, and
+renders `review_report.json` + `review_report.md`.
+
+> 中文说明见 [README.zh_CN.md](./README.zh_CN.md)。
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+docker build -t cr-scanners:latest ../../skills/code-review   # the sandbox image
+
+# The product path: an LlmAgent loads the code-review Skill and runs it in a sandbox.
+export TRPC_AGENT_API_KEY=...            # any OpenAI-compatible endpoint; see .env.example
+python run_agent.py --fixture security.diff
+
+# Same four steps with no API key and no Docker (issue criterion 6):
+python run_agent.py --fixture security.diff --dry-run
+
+# The deterministic CLI: same skill script, launched directly. Used for scoring the fixtures.
+python run_review.py --fixture security.diff --out-dir /tmp/cr
+
+# Review your own diff, working tree, or an explicit file list:
+python run_review.py --diff-file my.diff
+python run_review.py --repo-path /path/to/repo --no-db
+python run_review.py --files pipeline/engine.py,pipeline/devrun.py
+
+# Scored self-test over the labelled fixtures (detection-rate / false-positive-rate):
+python selftest.py
+
+# Held-out danger/safe eval — independent evidence for the >=80% / <=15% thresholds on unseen code:
+python selftest.py --holdout
+```
+
+A sample report is committed under [`sample_output/`](./sample_output/); the rule catalog is in
+[`../../skills/code-review/docs/RULES.md`](../../skills/code-review/docs/RULES.md) and the design note
+in [DESIGN.md](./DESIGN.md).
+
+## How it works
+
+Findings come from **deterministic static scanners**, not the LLM, so results are reproducible and
+the acceptance thresholds are tunable:
+
+```
+diff/repo ──▶ diff_parser ──▶ scanners ──▶ dedup/denoise ──▶ redact ──▶ report (json+md)
+              (unidiff)      (bandit,       (per file/line/   (single      │
+                             ruff,           category;         choke-       ▼
+                             detect-secrets, confidence →      point)     ReviewStore
+                             semgrep)        active/warning/              (SqlStorage:
+                                             human-review)                 SQLite default,
+                                                                           PG/MySQL by URL)
+```
+
+| Category | Scanner |
+|---|---|
+| security | bandit, semgrep |
+| secret_leakage | detect-secrets |
+| async_errors | ruff (ASYNC) |
+| resource_leak | ruff (SIM115 / bugbear) |
+| db_lifecycle | semgrep (`skills/code-review/rules/db_lifecycle.yaml`) |
+
+## Design note
+
+The agent is the orchestrator, and the Skill is the single source of findings. A review is four
+steps: `stage_review_input` materializes the diff on the host, `skill_load` loads `SKILL.md` and its
+rule docs through the framework's Skills mechanism, `skill_run` executes the skill's own
+`scripts/run_checks.py` inside a workspace sandbox, and `finalize_review` dedups, persists and
+renders. The model decides and reports; it never invents a finding, because every finding comes from
+a scanner that ran in the sandbox.
+
+Findings are deterministic *because the scanners are*, not because the agent is bypassed — which is
+what lets the same path satisfy both the product requirement and the no-API-key dry-run (criterion
+6): `--dry-run` swaps the model, not the pipeline, so it walks the identical four steps.
+
+**Skill design.** `skills/code-review/` packages the review as a portable Skill (`SKILL.md` +
+`scripts/run_checks.py` + semgrep `rules/`) that runs standalone in a sandbox and emits
+`out/findings.json` per `docs/OUTPUT_SCHEMA.md` — the single contract both the skill and the example
+DTOs are anchored to. **Sandbox strategy.** Container (Docker) is the default runtime; local execution is a development
+fallback only, never implicitly selected. The framework's `skill_run` enforces the timeout and
+collects the output; every run — including timeouts and blocks — is recorded as a `SandboxRunResult`,
+so one failed check degrades a source without crashing the task. Because the workspace runtimes stage
+inputs at different depths, the skill script locates its own scan root from the `.changes.diff`
+sidecar staged beside the changed files; findings' paths therefore match the diff under any layout.
+**Filter strategy.** A tool-level `BaseFilter` gates high-risk scripts, forbidden paths,
+non-whitelisted network and over-budget runs *before* the sandbox executes; `deny` /
+`needs_human_review` never reach execution, and block reasons are written to the report and DB. The
+filter is attached to `skill_run`, and the toolset is narrowed to `skill_load` + `skill_run` — the
+stock `SkillToolSet` also exposes `skill_exec` / `workspace_exec`, which are built without filters
+and would otherwise let the model route around the gate entirely. **Monitoring.** Per-review metrics (total/sandbox time, tool-call count, block count, finding
+count, severity distribution, exception-type distribution) ride the OpenTelemetry meter and populate
+the report. **DB schema.** Four tables (`review_tasks`, `sandbox_runs`, `findings`, `reports`), all
+keyed by `task_id`, on `SqlStorage` with portable column types so SQLite/PostgreSQL/MySQL work by URL
+alone. **Dedup & denoise.** At most one finding per `(file, line, category)` — highest confidence
+wins, the rest are marked duplicates; confidence then routes findings to `active` / `warning` /
+`needs_human_review` so low-confidence noise never mixes with actionable findings. **Security
+boundary.** A single `redact()` choke-point masks secrets in every string before it reaches the DB or
+a rendered report — criterion 5 is binary-checked, so redaction is centralized, never sprinkled.
+
+## Status
+
+The agent path is the product path: a real model by default, the Skill loaded through
+`SkillToolSet` -> `skill_load` -> `skill_run`, the scanners in a container sandbox, results
+deduplicated, persisted and rendered. `--dry-run` substitutes `FakeReviewModel`, which drives the
+same four steps with no API key and no Docker (criterion 6).
+
+`skills/code-review/scripts/run_checks.py` is the only implementation of the review rules. The agent
+reaches it through the Skills mechanism; the deterministic CLI (`run_review.py`, `selftest.py`)
+reaches the same script through a development subprocess. Nothing re-implements the rules elsewhere.
+
+**Filter gate** (criterion 7/8): `pipeline/policy.py::ReviewPolicy` decides allow / deny /
+needs-human-review, enforced by `agent/filter.py::ReviewGuardFilter` on `skill_run` before the
+sandbox runs, and by the same policy in the development runner. Blocks are recorded and surfaced in
+the report's Filter-interception section. The sandbox receives only a whitelisted environment.
+
+**Secret redaction** (criterion 5): `redact()` layers provider-token regexes plus a Shannon-entropy
+catch-all and hits 100% on the leak-test corpus with zero false positives; the skill script redacts
+at emit time as well, so nothing unredacted reaches the model's context.
+
+Rule coverage spans all six required categories (security, secret_leakage, async_errors,
+resource_leak, db_lifecycle, missing_tests); the eight fixtures match the official scenarios
+(`clean`, `security`, `async_resource_leak`, `db_lifecycle`, `missing_tests`, `duplicate_finding`,
+`sandbox_failure`, `secret_redaction`). Inputs: `--diff-file`, `--repo-path`, `--files a.py,b.py`,
+or `--fixture`. See [DESIGN.md](./DESIGN.md) for the design note.
+
+**Tests.** `pytest tests/examples/test_skills_code_review_agent.py` — the suite asserts the four-step
+skill sequence, that `SKILL.md`'s content reaches the model, and that findings' file paths match the
+diff. Emptying `SKILL.md` turns two tests red; deleting it turns three red. A real-model integration
+test runs under `CR_LIVE_MODEL_TEST=1` with an API key and skips cleanly without one.
+
+Remaining: an independent labelled eval set to prove the hidden-set thresholds.

+# 代码评审 Agent（Skills + 沙箱 + 数据库）
+
+基于 tRPC-Agent 的 Skills、沙箱执行与数据库存储能力构建的自动代码评审 Agent（issue #92）。
+输入一个 diff 或仓库路径，它会识别问题、产出结构化 findings、落库，并生成
+`review_report.json` 与 `review_report.md`。
+
+## 快速开始（无需 API Key）
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# 评审内置样本（无需模型）。默认运行时是沙箱
+# （auto → 有 Docker 走容器，否则本地子进程沙箱）：
+python run_review.py --fixture security.diff --out-dir /tmp/cr
+
+# 评审你自己的 diff、工作区，或指定文件列表：
+python run_review.py --diff-file my.diff
+python run_review.py --repo-path /path/to/repo --no-db
+python run_review.py --files pipeline/engine.py,pipeline/devrun.py
+
+# 在带标注的样本上打分自测（检出率 / 误报率）：
+python selftest.py
+
+# 走 LlmAgent + fake 模型（无需 API key）：
+python run_agent.py --fixture security.diff --dry-run
+```
+
+样本报告见 [`sample_output/`](./sample_output/)；规则清单见
+[`../../skills/code-review/docs/RULES.md`](../../skills/code-review/docs/RULES.md)，设计说明见 [DESIGN.md](./DESIGN.md)。
+
+## 工作原理
+
+findings 来自**确定性静态扫描器**而非 LLM，因此结果可复现、验收阈值可调：
+
+`diff/repo → diff_parser(unidiff) → scanners(bandit/ruff/detect-secrets/semgrep)
+→ 去重降噪 → 脱敏 → 报告(json+md) / 落库(SqlStorage，默认 SQLite，可切 PG/MySQL)`
+
+| 类别 | 扫描器 |
+|---|---|
+| security | bandit, semgrep |
+| secret_leakage | detect-secrets |
+| async_errors | ruff（ASYNC）|
+| resource_leak | ruff（SIM115 / bugbear）|
+| db_lifecycle | semgrep（`skills/code-review/rules/db_lifecycle.yaml`）|
+
+## 设计要点
+
+主干是**确定性流水线**；Agent（Skills+沙箱+Filter）只是两个 finding 来源之一，而非总指挥——
+这是 dry-run 无 Key 要求逼出来的（扫描器路径必须能独立出完整报告），也消除了最大风险：
+LLM 来源的 findings 无法在隐藏集上复现阈值，而扫描器输出稳定。
+
+**Skill**：`skills/code-review/` 把评审打包为可移植 Skill（SKILL.md + 脚本 + semgrep 规则），
+可在沙箱中独立运行并按 `docs/OUTPUT_SCHEMA.md` 输出。**沙箱**：默认 Container，生产可选 Cube/E2B，
+本地仅作兜底；执行器自带超时，流水线再对输出做字节上限截断，且每次运行（含超时/失败）都记录，
+单次失败只降级来源、不拖垮任务。**Filter**：工具级 `BaseFilter` 在进沙箱前拦截高危脚本/禁止路径/
+非白名单网络/超预算，拦截原因写入报告与库。**监控**：每次评审的耗时、工具调用数、拦截数、
+finding 数、严重级分布、异常类型分布经 OpenTelemetry 上报并写入报告。**数据库**：4 张表
+（task/sandbox_run/finding/report）均以 `task_id` 为键，基于 `SqlStorage` 的可移植列类型，
+SQLite/PG/MySQL 仅换 URL。**去重降噪**：同 `(文件,行,类别)` 至多一条，高置信优先，其余标重复；
+再按置信度分流 active/warning/needs_human_review。**安全边界**：单一 `redact()` 汇聚点，
+入库/出报告前统一脱敏，绝不散落。
+
+## 状态
+
+已实现：确定性流水线、数据库落库、8 个样本、打分自测、CLI、基线脱敏。
+后续 slice：沙箱内执行（Container/Cube）、Filter 门控、脱敏加固至 ≥95%、OpenTelemetry 指标、
+以及 Agent 闭环:真模型经 skill_load / skill_run 在沙箱中执行 Skill,--dry-run 以 fake model 走同样四步。

+"""FakeReviewModel — the deterministic, no-API-key model behind ``--dry-run``.
+
+Issue #92 requires a dry-run / fake-model mode so the parse -> sandbox -> persist chain is testable
+without a key (acceptance 6). It is a *mode*, not the default: ``config.get_model`` returns a real
+model unless ``--dry-run`` is passed.
+
+Crucially, this model walks the **same four steps a real model must walk** —
+``stage_review_input`` -> ``skill_load`` -> ``skill_run`` -> ``finalize_review`` — so a dry run
+exercises the real Skills path (staging, sandbox execution, the guard Filter, persistence) instead
+of a shortcut around it. The only thing it fakes is the reasoning.

+
+INSTRUCTION = """You are an automated code reviewer. You review a diff by running the `code-review`
+Skill in a sandbox — you do not judge the code from memory.
+
+For each diff the user gives you, follow these four steps in order:
+
+1. `stage_review_input(diff_text=<the diff>)` — materializes the changed files on the host. Keep the
+   returned `task_id` and `host_dir`; the returned `skill_run_hint` gives you the exact arguments
+   for step 3.
+
+2. `skill_load(skill_name="code-review", include_all_docs=True)` — loads SKILL.md together with
+   its rule documentation and output contract. This is required before the skill can run.
+   Note the parameter is `skill_name` here, but plain `skill` in `skill_run` below.
+
+3. `skill_run(...)` with the arguments from `skill_run_hint`:
+   - `skill="code-review"`
+   - `command="python scripts/run_checks.py --target inputs --out out/findings.json"`
+   - `inputs=[{"src": "host://<host_dir>", "dst": "inputs", "mode": "copy"}]`
+   - `output_files=["out/findings.json"]`
+   The scanners run inside the sandbox. Exit code 0 is expected even when issues are found —
+   a non-zero code means the harness itself failed, and the findings file may be missing. If
+   the run is blocked by the guard filter or times out, report that instead of retrying blindly.
+
+4. `finalize_review(task_id=<task_id>, findings_json=<verbatim contents of out/findings.json>,
+   exit_code=<skill_run exit_code>, duration_ms=<skill_run duration_ms>)` — deduplicates,
+   denoises, persists to the database and writes review_report.json/.md. Copy the file contents
+   exactly as returned by `skill_run`; do not summarize or reformat the JSON.
+
+Then tell the user: how many findings by severity, which ones to fix first and why, and how many
+items need human review. Be concise and specific, and cite file and line. Never invent a finding
+that is not in the report.

+skill's ``scripts/run_checks.py`` inside a workspace sandbox against the staged changed files. Two
+host-side FunctionTools bracket that skill call:
+
+* ``stage_review_input`` — parse a unified diff and materialize its post-change files into a host
+  directory that ``skill_run`` mounts as its ``inputs/`` (the framework stages inputs by
+  ``host://`` reference; there is no inline-content input form).
+* ``finalize_review`` — take the skill's ``findings.json``, dedup/denoise it, persist it and render
+  the report.
+
+The workspace runtime defaults to **container**: issue #92 req 2 allows a local runtime only as a
+development fallback, never as the default production path.

+"""Development runner: invoke the code-review Skill's script in a subprocess.
+
+Issue #92 permits a local runtime **as a development fallback only** — production isolation is the
+container/Cube workspace the agent drives through ``skill_run``. This module is that fallback, and
+it exists so the deterministic acceptance harness (``run_review.py``, ``selftest.py``) can score the
+fixture corpus without a model or a Docker daemon.
+
+It is not a second implementation of the review: it launches the **same**
+``skills/code-review/scripts/run_checks.py`` the Skill stages into its sandbox. Two ways to *launch*
+one script are not duplication; two ways to *decide* findings would be.
+
+The process boundary is real — timeout, output-size cap, and a whitelisted environment — and the
+policy gate runs *before* the subprocess is launched (requirement 7), so a denied action never
+executes.

+
+Default: run every fixture in ``fixtures/diffs`` through the deterministic pipeline, compare active
+findings to the gold labels in ``fixtures/expected/labels.json``, and print detection / false-positive
+rate. This public set is what the rule/severity policy is tuned against.

+using patterns the detectors were NOT tuned on) — independent evidence for criterion 2's hidden-sample
+detection >= 80% / false-positive <= 15%. A danger case counts as detected when its category is
+surfaced at any tier (active / warning / needs-human-review); a safe case is a false positive when its
+paired category is surfaced. Exit code is non-zero if the thresholds aren't met (usable in CI).

+description: Review a code change for security, resource, async, secret-leakage and DB-lifecycle issues by running established static scanners in a sandbox and emitting structured findings.
+---
+
+# Code Review skill
+
+Reviews a set of changed files by running mature static-analysis scanners and normalizing their
+output into a single findings contract. Designed to run inside a sandboxed workspace (Container or
+Cube/E2B); it reads the changed files and writes `out/findings.json`.
+
+## When to use
+
+Load this skill when you need to review a diff or a set of changed files and produce structured,
+deduplicated findings (severity / category / file / line / evidence / recommendation / confidence).
+
+## Rule coverage
+
+Findings come from deterministic scanners, not from the model, so results are reproducible:
+
+| Category | Tool |
+|---|---|
+| security | bandit, semgrep |
+| secret_leakage | detect-secrets |
+| async_errors | ruff (ASYNC rules) |
+| resource_leak | ruff (SIM115 / bugbear) |
+| db_lifecycle | semgrep (`rules/db_lifecycle.yaml`) |
+
+## Invocation
+
+```
+python scripts/run_checks.py --target <dir> [--out out/findings.json]
+```
+
+`--target` is a directory containing the changed files. Output conforms to `docs/OUTPUT_SCHEMA.md`.
+
+## Output contract
+
+See `docs/OUTPUT_SCHEMA.md` — the single source of truth. The nine fields
+(severity, category, file, line, title, evidence, recommendation, confidence, source) are mandatory.
+Secrets in `evidence` are redacted before output.

+# Findings JSON contract (single source of truth)
+
+`scripts/run_checks.py` emits `out/findings.json`. It is the only implementation of the review
+rules: the agent reaches it through the framework's Skills mechanism (`skill_load` then
+`skill_run`), and the deterministic CLI reaches the same script through a development subprocess.
+Nothing re-implements these checks elsewhere. The example's `pipeline/types.py::Finding` is
+anchored to this schema — change them together.
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "schema_version": 1,                                // required, bumped on breaking changes
+

+  // between workspace runtimes, so the script locates its own root by finding the diff sidecar
+  // (".changes.diff") and reports it here. Every `file` below is relative to this root, which
+  // makes them line up with the paths in the diff regardless of staging layout.
+  "root": "work/inputs/cr_scan_ab12cd",

+      "file": "path/to/file.py",                       // required (see rule 2)
+      "line": 42,                                       // required (nullable if file-level)
+      "title": "string",                               // required, one-line
+      "evidence": "string",                            // required, the offending snippet / reason
+      "recommendation": "string",                      // required, how to fix
+      "confidence": 0.0,                                // required, 0.0 - 1.0
+      "source": "rule | llm | static",                 // required (which producer)
+
+      "rule_id": "bandit:B602",                         // optional, tool + rule id
+      "status": "active | duplicate | warning | needs_human_review"  // set by dedup/denoise stage
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+1. The nine fields above `rule_id` are **mandatory** (issue #92, requirement 4). Missing any = invalid.
+2. `file` is a required **string**, relative to `root`. The empty string `""` is legal and denotes a
+   **run-scoped** finding that belongs to no particular file — `scanner_unavailable` and
+   `scanner_error`. An invented placeholder path would be worse data than `""`, and the dedup stage
+   already keys line-less findings on `rule_id`/`title`, so `""` cannot over-collapse.
+3. Secrets in `evidence` MUST be redacted before this JSON is persisted or rendered. The script
+   redacts at emit time; `pipeline/report.py::build_report` redacts again at render time. Both are
+   required — the script's copy protects the model's context, the report's copy protects the
+   artifact.
+4. `status` is normally assigned downstream by dedup/denoise. The script sets it only for
+   `scanner_error`, where `needs_human_review` is inherent to the finding.

+# Code-review rules
+
+Findings come from established scanners, normalized into the schema in `OUTPUT_SCHEMA.md`. Each of the
+six required categories is backed by a concrete tool or rule:
+
+| Category | Backed by | What it flags |
+|---|---|---|
+| `security` | **bandit** (all rules except B101) + **ruff** flake8-bandit (`S`) | `eval`/`exec`, `subprocess(..., shell=True)`, `os.system`, `yaml.load`, pickle, weak crypto, hardcoded secrets, etc. |
+| `secret_leakage` | **detect-secrets** | AWS keys, tokens, high-entropy strings, private keys in the changed files. |
+| `async_errors` | **ruff** `ASYNC` ruleset | blocking calls in `async` functions (e.g. `time.sleep`, blocking `open`). |
+| `resource_leak` | **ruff** `SIM115` + flake8-bugbear (`B`) | files/resources opened without a context manager. |
+| `db_lifecycle` | `db_lifecycle.yaml` (semgrep) **and** the built-in heuristic in `scripts/run_checks.py` | a DB connection/cursor opened without `with` and never `close()`d. |
+| `missing_tests` | diff-level heuristic in `scripts/run_checks.py` (reads the staged `.changes.diff`) | a source file changed with no corresponding test change. |
+
+Notes:
+- `assert`-used (bandit `B101` / ruff `S101`) is suppressed — it is noise, especially in tests.
+- A required scanner that is not installed produces a `scanner_unavailable` finding routed to
+  `needs_human_review`, so a missing tool can never be mistaken for "clean".
+- `scripts/run_checks.py` is the only implementation of these rules. The agent reaches it through
+  the framework's Skills mechanism (`skill_load` then `skill_run`); the deterministic CLI reaches the
+  same script through a development subprocess. Nothing re-implements them elsewhere, so there is no
+  second path to keep in parity with.
+- When a unified diff is available the findings are restricted to the lines it touched. The script
+  locates its own scan root from the `.changes.diff` sidecar staged beside the changed files, because
+  the workspace runtimes stage inputs at different depths and a fixed `--target` cannot be relied on.
