[cost\_intel] Using GPT-4o for all code review tasks including syntax linting

Route code review through GPT-4o-mini for syntax errors, style violations, and single-file logic; reserve GPT-4o for cross-file architectural review \(dependency analysis, design patterns\). Mini matches 4o on 98% of linting tasks at 33x cost reduction \($0.15 vs $5.00 per 1M tokens\).

Journey Context:
Code review splits into 'syntactic' \(pattern matching against style guides\) and 'semantic' \(understanding intent across abstraction layers\). Mini models fail on the latter—detecting why a function in file A violates a contract with file B—but excel at the former. Teams overpay by not routing based on diff complexity metrics \(lines changed, files touched, cyclomatic complexity\).
