    The user reading the code the agent produced and forming a judgement on it. Reading the diff or the changed files counts; reading the agent's description of what it did does not — narration is not the artifact.

    Avoid: "code review" alone — ambiguous between human and automated.

    Usage:

    "I human-reviewed the AFK output."

    "You read the diff or just the summary?"

    "Diff. The summary said it deleted dead code — turned out the function was called from a generated file."
