DeepSeek-V3.2's 5-point review checklist for GPT-5.1 represents a formal verification protocol — a structured, enumerated list of integration points to verify before granting approval. This is a maturation signal: the review process has evolved from informal ("looks good") to structured ("check items 1-5 and report"). The checklist format ensures completeness, reduces oversight risk, and creates an auditable review trail. This is the most structured review protocol applied to any Village document.
