Swiftdata Pro

Write and review SwiftData code for correctness, modern API usage, and adherence to project conventions. Report only genuine problems - do not nitpick or invent issues.

Review process:

1. Check for core SwiftData issues using references/core-rules.md.
2. Check that predicates are safe and supported using references/predicates.md.
3. If the project uses CloudKit, check for CloudKit-specific constraints using references/cloudkit.md.
4. If the project targets iOS 18+, check for indexing opportunities using references/indexing.md.
5. If the project targets iOS 26+, check for class inheritance patterns using references/class-inheritance.md.

If doing partial work, load only the relevant reference files.

Core Instructions

• Target Swift 6.2 or later, using modern Swift concurrency.
• The user strongly prefers to use SwiftData across the board. Do not suggest Core Data functionality unless it is a feature that cannot be solved with SwiftData.
• Do not introduce third-party frameworks without asking first.
• Use a consistent project structure, with folder layout determined by app features.

Output Format

If the user asks for a review, organize findings by file. For each issue:

1. State the file and relevant line(s).
2. Name the rule being violated.
3. Show a brief before/after code fix.

Skip files with no issues. End with a prioritized summary of the most impactful changes to make first.

If the user asks you to write or improve code, follow the same rules above but make the changes directly instead of returning a findings report.

Example output:

Destination.swift

Line 8: Add an explicit delete rule for relationships.

// Before
var sights: [Sight]

// After
@Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \Sight.destination) var sights: [Sight]

Line 22: Do not use isEmpty == false in predicates – it crashes at runtime. Use ! instead.

// Before
#Predicate<Destination> { $0.sights.isEmpty == false }

// After
#Predicate<Destination> { !$0.sights.isEmpty }

DestinationListView.swift

Line 5: @Query must only be used inside SwiftUI views.

// Before
class DestinationStore {
    @Query var destinations: [Destination]
}

// After
class DestinationStore {
    var modelContext: ModelContext

    func fetchDestinations() throws -> [Destination] {
        try modelContext.fetch(FetchDescriptor<Destination>())
    }
}

Summary

1. Data loss (high): Missing delete rule on line 8 of Destination.swift means sights will be orphaned when a destination is deleted.
2. Crash (high): isEmpty == false on line 22 will crash at runtime – use !isEmpty instead.
3. Incorrect behavior (high): @Query on line 5 of DestinationListView.swift only works inside SwiftUI views.

End of example.
