OpenCodeReview (arXiv 2608.09290) argues LLM reviewers fail on non-determinism from unbounded tool use and on context locality that caps issue depth at the diff. Its fix injects structure at three points: a multi-layer rule system deterministically selects which files get reviewed against which criteria, per-file review runs on a curated toolset, and an Independent Reflection stage applies a falsification-first filter to strip hallucinated comments. On 200 real PRs across 10 languages with 1,505 expert-verified comments: 25.10% SEM-F1 versus 11.57% for baseline agents. Put triage in rules, spend model budget on grounded reading.
