Review a Neki transaction for shard safety

Start a fresh conversation.

Use the neki skill to review the transaction SQL, session settings, and data topology I provide. Check whether the transaction stays on one shard, identify assumptions about cross-shard atomicity or shared snapshots, and flag incorrect __neki.* setting names or settings applied after BEGIN. Recommend the smallest correction without executing changes.

Required inputs

One transaction's SQL, including session settings and their order relative to BEGIN.
Relevant data topology, shard keys, and shard group or shard index configuration.
