Post Text (Key Excerpt)
the repo-wide context is what makes this different. PR-level review misses the "this breaks something 3 files away" pattern I see constantly in AI-generated code.Why It Matches Ryva ICP
It points to a concrete failure pattern engineers hit weekly: hidden cross-file regressions. That is high-signal coordination pain tied to incomplete context in PR workflows.
Underlying Problem
PR-scoped review misses distributed dependencies, causing regressions that no single diff exposes.
Suggested Public Response (Copy)
That “3 files away” breakage is exactly why teams feel blindsided after merge. Review quality depends on dependency context and ownership visibility, not just inline diff comments.Suggested DM Idea (Copy)
When regressions escape review on your team, are they usually cross-file dependencies or unclear ownership at merge time?Snapshot
