Agentic code review can also be employed, but it's worth noting that, as the so-called "Bitcoin Red Team" (which has been testing all of Bitcoin related software in the wake of the July 30 Coldcard attack) has discovered a very useful thing to consider: American models are absolute trash when it comes to reviewing code with an eye on security, due to their "safeguards." This applies even when the code being scanned for vulnerabilities was just written by the same agent.

Kimi K3 seems to be the favorite there, though I believe some of the other open weight/open source models are being employed a bit as well.

And yes, even that requires human oversight -- but it does a quick rough filter through things so you're not wasting time on the little stuff, allowing you more attention to find the glaring holes.
