A local AI reviewer, local-advisor-v1:latest, demonstrated a significant difference in its ability to detect a seeded bug depending on the input format. When presented with raw source code, the model failed to identify the bug in 10 attempts. However, when the same bug was presented within a code diff, the model correctly identified it in 9 out of 10 attempts. Despite this higher detection rate in diff format, the model's findings were never accepted by its own automated acceptance step, which requires specific file and line number references with quoted evidence.
