Async non-blocking code reviews
summary
Claim: code review delay is quantifiable and avoidable — GitHub API logs show a PR with 20–40 root comments takes ~400–700 median hours to close and each root comment costs ~10 median hours. Concrete fixes: run linters and style fixes locally with php‑cs and PHPStan, enforce with Makefiles and Docker, use mutation tests for coverage, tag domain experts and use git blame to find reviewers, prefer small PRs (avoid 30–40 files) and apply disagree and commit for low‑impact objections.
