[counterintuitive] AI catches complex logic bugs in code review

Restrict AI code review to localized edge cases; mandate human review for concurrency and global state invariants.

Journey Context:
AI models predict next tokens based on local context. Concurrency bugs \(race conditions, deadlocks\) require global state reasoning across threads, which doesn't fit in local token windows. AI will confidently approve thread-unsafe code if the local syntax looks standard, missing entire bug classes humans catch by tracing execution flow.
