[ AI CODING ][ MACHINE CULTURE ]
The specific step where a person actually reads and approves AI-generated code before it merges, treated as its own distinct workflow stage now that a growing share of code a team ships was never typed by a human first.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The policy is simple: AI-generated code still needs human review before it touches main."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named as its own term once "review" stopped implicitly meaning human review by default — a team now has to specify which kind they mean.
