What really important things are human reviews catching in your org?

I just feel more and more like the effort invested in manual reviews is not worth it

1. Whether the thing should be done in the first place

2. If it's the correct solution on a high level

3. Whether it conflicts with or duplicates other parts of the system

4. Whether the comments are actually useful or restating the LLM chat

Also many others but these are the most common IME

1. Does the implementation fit in the architecture/style of the project?

2. Are there potential security, accessibility, performance, etc. issues?

3. Domain specific knowledge (SQL, ASP.NET, XQuery, etc.) where there are better ways of solving a problem, or possible issues not handled.

4. Sense checking ... is the code easy to read? does it need an explanatory comment? does it need named parameters? etc.
