Intent Lab built a benchmark of 284 real-world bugs to test code review agents. Their review agent caught 93% of bugs, beating every baseline at 63% lower cost. Key data: median merged bug takes 33 days to fix, 20% last over a year, one went unnoticed for 15+ years. Thesis: as coding agents take on more engineering work, verification must scale with generation.
