//! The review panel, made of real models.
//!
//! Until this existed, `impl Reviewer` had exactly two instances and both were
//! test fixtures. That is not a cosmetic gap: [`super::heal_gate::decide`]
//! refuses a panel of zero outright, so a fully wired loop with no panel would
//! have rejected every item it ever selected — an unreachable subsystem that,
//! once reached, does nothing and says the gate is why.
//!
//! ## Why a panel of different models, and not one model asked three times
//!
//! The whole value of the gate is that it is not correlated with the coder.
//! One model asked three times agrees with itself; the failure a panel exists
//! to catch — a plausible, confidently wrong change — is exactly the failure a
//! single vendor's model is least able to see in its own output.
//!
//! It is a **panel of judges, not a synthesis.** That distinction is
//! load-bearing here: the MoA/tau-bench work in this repo found that
//! cross-vendor *synthesis* degrades agentic tool-use below the single strong
//! model. Verification is the other case — independent judgement is where a
//! diverse panel pays, which is why each reviewer answers alone and
//! [`decide`](super::heal_gate::decide) counts votes rather than merging
//! opinions.
//!
//! ## Reviewers never see each other
//!
//! Each call is a separate, single-turn request with no shared conversation. A
//! panel that reaches consensus by reading itself is one reviewer with extra
//! steps, and correlation is the failure it exists to catch.
//!
//! ## An unreachable model is not a "no", and not a "yes"
//!
//! [`Reviewer::review`] is fallible on purpose. A vendor outage returns an
//! error here, and the gate counts a missing answer as missing — never as a
//! pass, and never as a rejection either. `decide` refuses to certify a panel
//! that could not be assembled, which is the honest reading of "I don't know
//! what two of the three would have said".
