[counterintuitive] Using AI code review to catch concurrency and state mutation bugs

Mandate human review for shared mutable state and concurrency; restrict AI review to local idiomatic patterns and linting.

Journey Context:
Humans trust AI to 'read' logic, but LLMs predict tokens based on local context and lack a runtime execution model. They hallucinate thread safety because training data has more single-threaded examples. AI misses entire bug classes like race conditions or deadlocks because it cannot simulate the interleaving of concurrent operations or global state invariants.
