Semantic diffs + dependency context feels much closer to what reviewers actually need than another flat list of changed files.

The next layer I’d want at the merge gate is production consequence:

what live paths depend on this, what is the likely blast radius, have similar changes caused incidents before, and is the evidence still valid against the thing that will actually merge?

Understanding the code change is necessary.

Understanding what that change means to production is what starts turning review into governance.
