Findings and Outcomes

Atlas Review is not just a pass/fail surface. The useful unit is the finding plus its current outcome.

Review results should give you:

  • a summary and verdict
  • structured findings
  • evidence or anchors that explain why the finding exists

In the desktop app, this usually appears as a review summary at the top and a finding list underneath it. The useful workflow is to move from verdict to specific evidence, not to treat the top-line status as enough on its own.

A finding typically moves into one of these states:

  • addressed
  • dismissed

Use dismissal only when you have a real rationale, not just to clear noise.

Persisting the outcome matters because Atlas tracks that decision across reruns and publication flows.

After code changes:

  1. rerun the review
  2. confirm the finding no longer reproduces
  3. verify the updated review snapshot reflects the current branch or PR state

GitHub publication should happen only from review snapshots that are current and eligible for publication.
