Competitors mentioned: Built-in /review functions, Codex, Claude
Concerns raised: Expensive to set up, requires subscriptions to multiple vendors, Built-in reviews have blind spots from same model family, Built-in reviews are stateless, reoccur same bugs across rounds, Not cost-effective for small changes
Feature requests: Account for different priors across review models, Persistent memory of defects across review rounds, Multi-vendor cross-checking built-in
