REVIEW POINT
AI can surface a relationship. Engineering still needs the source, exception, reviewer, and release decision in view.
Inspect the exception
Make uncertainty, conflicts, and missing information visible to a named reviewer instead of hiding them in a chat thread.
Approve the handoff
Export a record that shows what was reviewed, what changed, and who accepted the release decision.
