+**Trigger:** A test file uses `Math.random()` (or `Date.now()`, `crypto.randomUUID()`, or any other non-seeded random source) inside a `test()` or `it()` block to construct input data for the function under test.
+**Check:** `grep -n "Math\.random\|Date\.now\|crypto\.random" scripts/**/*.test.{js,ts} app/**/*.test.{ts,tsx} remotion/**/*.test.{ts,tsx}` — any match inside a test body (not a mock implementation) is a candidate. Then verify whether the assertions check specific output values; if assertions are only type-level (`typeof`, `toHaveProperty`, `toBeDefined`), flag as BLOCKER.

+# Review: refactor/s1-audiosync-determinism
+Date: 2026-05-09
+Reviewer: AI (review-pr skill) — session bias: CLEAN
+PR: NONE (summary provided inline by developer)
+Review iterations: 2 (second pass after developer addressed B1, W3, S1)
+
+## Verdict
+APPROVED WITH SUGGESTIONS
+
+## Summary
+This PR makes `AudioSyncer.findBestLag()` deterministic by collecting near-maximum correlation peaks within a 0.5 SNR threshold and tie-breaking on earliest scan order, and converts the floating-point lag to a frame-exact integer offset at 30 fps. After the developer addressed the only blocker (non-deterministic test) and both open warnings (stale API call, missing edge-case test), no blockers remain. Three minor warnings remain that should be addressed in a follow-up.
+
+## Blockers
+None — all blockers resolved.
+
+~~### B1 — validatePeak test used Math.random() and only type-checked return values~~
+**RESOLVED (2nd pass):** Replaced `Math.random()` with deterministic `0.01` noise floor. Added `expect(result.isReliable).toBe(false)` and `expect(result.snr).toBeGreaterThan(0)` — now genuinely behavioural.
+
+## Warnings (should address)
+
+### W1 — frameRate = 30 duplicated in two methods
+- **Type:** QUALITY
+- **File:** [scripts/sync/AudioSyncer.js](scripts/sync/AudioSyncer.js) (lines 206 and 220)
+- **Finding:** `const frameRate = 30` is declared as a local variable in both `findBestLag()` and `validatePeak()`. If the sync frame-rate assumption changes, both declarations must be updated together.
+- **Suggestion:** Hoist to a module-level constant: `const SYNC_FRAME_RATE = 30;`. Add to the CLAUDE.md Common Constants table.
+
+### W2 — SNR nearness threshold (0.5) and reliability threshold (3.0) are unnamed magic numbers
+- **Type:** QUALITY
+- **File:** [scripts/sync/AudioSyncer.js](scripts/sync/AudioSyncer.js) (lines 193 and 226)
+- **Finding:** `Math.abs(v - maxVal) <= 0.5` and `snr >= 3.0` use raw literals. Neither is discoverable by grep, documented in CLAUDE.md, or annotated with units (`0.5` is in correlation-amplitude units, not dB).
+- **Suggestion:** Extract as `const PEAK_NEARNESS_THRESHOLD = 0.5;` and `const RELIABILITY_SNR_THRESHOLD = 3.0;` at module level.
+
+### W3 — validatePeak "happy path" (isReliable = true) is untested
+- **Type:** COVERAGE
+- **File:** [scripts/__tests__/AudioSyncer.test.js](scripts/__tests__/AudioSyncer.test.js) (lines 113–133)
+- **Finding:** The existing test uses `lagSeconds = 0.033` which at `sampleRate = 8000` maps to sample 267 → wraps to index 67 (the comment "maps to index 50" is incorrect). The test checks the noise floor, not the peak. The `isReliable: snr >= 3.0` branch is never exercised with a `true` result. Add a second case where the lag maps to the actual peak and assert `isReliable = true` with a high SNR bound.
+- **Suggestion:** Add a test with `lagSeconds = 0` (maps to index 0), peak at index 0 with high amplitude vs. low noise, assert `isReliable = true` and `snr > 3`.
+
+~~### W4 — Stale extra argument in determinism test~~
+**RESOLVED:** `findBestLag(correlation, 50)` updated to `findBestLag(correlation)`.
+
+## Suggestions resolved
+
+~~### S1 — Missing test: near-equal peak appearing before global maximum~~
+**RESOLVED:** New test `'should prefer global max over near-equal peaks appearing before it'` added in `AudioSyncer.determinism.test.js`, correctly documenting and verifying the algorithm's single-pass behaviour.
