 Not for: reading the diff -> bash git diff. Choosing tests to run -> jev_select_tests. Work in progress: verdicts on a half-written diff are noise.
 
 How Jev sees it: code cuts the diff into changed units (a function, a slice of a big one, a declaration, a config file) and shows Jev each one before and after, with tests kept aside as evidence, never as units. Questions are fixed and reviewed; you do not write them. Jev does not run anything.
 For replaced member accesses, risk also checks statically resolved local callers in separate calls, in parallel with the bare risk matrix. This is source-code evidence, never an execution: coordinated provider/caller edits count. Unknown providers, cut pieces and metaprogramming stay visibly unchecked. No finding on a shown caller is not proof that every caller is safe.
 Callers are found by literal name in tracked files, then resolved by AST (including import aliases); dynamic access that does not name the target is not covered. Providers follow static imports of those candidates.
