Tie code approvals to content hashes so agent 'one more small fix' voids review
Ambitious_Answer6857 · reddit · 2026-10-23
Following this week's discussion on reviewing agent work, the author notes an approval only counts for the exact version reviewed — yet the common pattern is an agent (or you) pushing "one more small fix" after PR approval, leaving that change unreviewed.
His practice: tie the approval to a hash of the content. Any change voids the approval and requires a fresh review. Feels pedantic, but it's exactly where weird stuff slips in. He asks how others handle it: full re-review, threshold-based, or trusting small fixes.
