+1. **Mismatches**: where the code does not do what the stated intent says, or does more than it says.
+2. **Misgraded necessity**: groups labelled required/supporting that look incidental, defensive or speculative, and vice versa. Be sceptical of "required".
+3. **Removal candidates**: groups that could be dropped or deferred without hurting the task, with the expected impact.
+4. **Simplifications**: a smaller or clearer way to achieve a group's intent.
+5. **Missing risks**: risks the author did not list.${range ? `
+6. **Across the branch**: later commits that undo, fix or rework earlier ones; the same intent spread over several commits; unglossed commits; whether the branch as a whole is lean for what it sets out to do.` : ''}
