   Our readingReviewing AI-written code means asking whether it does anything dangerous, touches only the expected files, is covered by tests and follows architecture convention, then only spot-checking the code itself.

   Their wordswhat a PR review of AI code looks like for me: 1) does it do anything remotely dangerous 2) does it touch files I would reasonably expect it to 3) do the tests cover the expected behaviour 4) does it follow architecture convention 5) [spot check code for slop]
