Reviewing Docs and Release Drift

Goal

Detect claimed features that are not actually shipped, and shipped behavior that is not documented.

Workflow

1. Extract atomic claims from README/docs, release notes, changelog, PR text, examples, comments, docstrings, and migration notes.
2. For each claim, locate structural proof in code, tests, config, routes, exports, handlers, migrations, or user-visible wiring.
3. Classify each claim:
   • SUPPORTED
   • PARTIALLY_SUPPORTED
   • UNSUPPORTED
   • CONTRADICTED
   • STEALTH_CHANGE
4. Emit defects only for unsupported, contradicted, or material stealth changes.

Required checks

• feature claims map to actual handlers, exports, routes, commands, or user-facing paths
• resilience claims map to retries, backoff, fallback, or recovery logic
• caching claims map to cache read, write, and invalidation behavior
• security claims map to enforced checks where the privileged action executes
• compatibility claims map to actual platform-safe behavior
• breaking changes have migration notes or equivalent guidance
• release/changelog scope matches actual changed behavior
• examples would work if followed literally
