Review Mode

Catch quality issues before work is treated as complete

Review Mode adds a structured pass so high-impact changes ship with clearer feedback beside the diff - not buried in chat.

  • Auth · billing · migrations
  • Same thread and diff UX
  • Fits your existing release rhythm

Review Mode

From proposed edits to a reviewable quality record

Run Review on sensitive paths so teams see structured feedback next to changes before the work is considered done.

  • Surface findings beside diffs instead of scattered notes
  • Tune depth for auth, billing, migrations, and customer flows
  • Keep branch policies, QA, and approvals authoritative
  • Reduce late rework on business-critical lanes
  • Respect routing and budget controls on heavier sessions

FAQ

Review Mode FAQ

Does Review replace our release gates?

No. It adds a quality signal while work is in motion; branch policies, QA, and approvals stay authoritative.

Will this slow delivery?

Some paths add scrutiny up front, but teams usually trade that for fewer late rework loops on critical tickets.

How does this fit our cadence?

Use it before merge on named lanes, then widen only after outcomes stay stable for a sprint.

Can we measure impact in 30 days?

Track defect escape rate on pilot lanes, review round-trips, and time-to-merge on protected paths.

Where should we start?

Start with one business-critical path with clear owners - auth, billing, or migrations are common first picks.
