Review standards (maintainers and automation)

Human maintainer expectations and AI-assisted “review intelligence” for Bitcoin Commons code are canonical in the governance repository—they are not duplicated in this book.

• Review expectations — Expected practices for human reviewers and maintainers (guidelines, not rigid rules; see challenge mechanism there).
• Review intelligence — Operating document for AI-assisted review of Bitcoin implementations: true alternative vs Core fork taxonomy, flag structure, and alignment with the Orange Paper and the Bitcoin Commons Compact.
