Audit: Human review coverage

What we check

Repositories that have the human review tracking tooling deployed (see docs/code-review-tracking.md) should keep the review backlog small: fewer than 5 in-scope files needing review. Repositories without a .vscode/review-scope.toml scope config do not have the tooling deployed and are reported as not applicable; currently ryll and kerbside do.

The check runs scripts/review-tracking.py status against the clone. A file needs review if it has never received a whole-file review, or if its content at HEAD no longer matches the blob SHA stamped for its last review (a stale review). Coverage is deliberately recomputed against HEAD rather than trusted from the committed REVIEWS.md: that file is only accurate immediately after a prune, so a missed prune run cannot inflate the coverage this audit sees.

Expect routine churn near the threshold: a single feature PR can touch five in-scope files, so the issue this audit files acts as a standing work-queue nudge -- it lists the files needing review, and closes automatically once a review session brings the backlog back under the threshold.

Template

No template -- compliance is restored by doing review sessions, not by copying files. See docs/code-review-tracking.md for the session workflow. Staleness on the default branch is normally pruned automatically by the adopting repository's prune-reviews workflow; this audit is the backstop that notices when the backlog has grown regardless.

Projects

Per-project compliance for this criterion is regenerated every morning by the consistency audit: see the compliance page.
