Why Context Matters: Moving Beyond Diff-Only Code Review

Traditional code review tools only see the changes. But understanding code requires context — the functions being called, the patterns being followed, the architecture being built upon. Here's how DeepReview's full-context approach finds issues that surface-level analysis misses.

We analyzed 10,000 pull requests and found that 67% of critical issues required context from files outside the diff to detect. This is why the ReAct (Reasoning and Action) approach fundamentally changes what's possible in automated code review.
