## Linted. Reviewed. Approved.

Catch bad SQL before it ships. Linting catches typos. Semantic rules catch anti-patterns. Approval workflows catch policy violations.

## Three layers. One review.

### Linting

Syntax and style. Catches typos, formatting violations, and dialect mistakes before the SQL ever reaches the database.

### Semantic rules

Schema-aware checks. Require primary keys, prohibit destructive cascades, enforce naming conventions, flag missing indexes.

### Policy with approval

Role-based human review. Production changes route to a DBA; lower environments auto-approve; break-glass paths leave an audit trail.
