Rene Pickhardt says that while everyone is burning millions of tokens on AI review, he did his own small part the old-fashioned way, and links a hand-written code review he filed on Electrum pull request 10794. He closes by asking whether callebtc or Rob Hamilton found anything more critical in Electrum. Held because it is a dated, checkable counterpoint in the AI-review debate the archive already carries through rob1ham-2084140242915782743 and milessuter-2084619892699897882: a named researcher doing manual review on the same codebases the automated sweep covered, with the review itself public and linkable. The post makes no claim about what either effort found, and the review's contents are not assessed here.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
