This is a vision paper, not a new bench: it sketches what review becomes when agents are first-class authors and critics. Useful as a map of open problems—roles, trust, escalation, and how human reviewers relocate from line nits to system-level judgment.

Read it as a design brief for platform teams building review into agentic pipelines, not as empirical proof.

Why it matters for code review

Before you wire five agents into every PR, you want a coherent target state. This paper is a compact way to pressure-test whether your roadmap is “faster comments” or an actual redesign of review as an agentic protocol.
