Report #99520

[counterintuitive] AI code review catches most real bugs, so human review is optional.

Use AI reviewers as high-speed linters and pattern matchers; require human eyes for concurrency, security invariants, authentication, and trust-boundary changes.

Journey Context:
LLM-based review finds obvious anti-patterns and style issues quickly, but controlled studies and incident post-mortems show it systematically misses cross-module state, TOCTOU races, business-logic flaws, and subtle injection paths. Treating it as a replacement rather than a first filter creates false confidence and ships exploitable bugs.
