# Review report for pipeline/overview.md

## Summary

The overview is factually aligned with the watched source files and satisfies the `pipeline-overview.md` prompt contract. I found no reportable issues; the line-numbered driver claims and the stage-to-file map checked out against the current source.

## Items checked

- Verified the required front matter keys and copied `source_commit` / `watched_paths_digest` from the target document.
- Checked the required structure from `pipeline-overview.md`: title, end-to-end `flowchart LR`, stage subsections, driver entry points, and cross-cutting concerns.
- Spot-checked 14 concrete claims against watched sources: lexer tokenization in `source/compiler-core/slang-lexer.cpp`; preprocessing, include setup, and `parsePreprocessedSegments` in `source/slang/slang-compile-request.cpp`; parser class and deferred body-token handling in `source/slang/slang-parser.cpp`; `SemanticsVisitor` dispatch and semantic-check loop in `source/slang/slang-check.cpp` / `source/slang/slang-compile-request.cpp`; IR generation through `IRBuilder`, `IRModule::create`, and `lowerFrontEndEntryPointToIR` in `source/slang/slang-lower-to-ir.cpp`; `linkAndOptimizeIR` and `emitEntryPointsSourceFromIR` in `source/slang/slang-emit.cpp`.
- Verified the line-numbered claims for `linkAndOptimizeIR` at line 896, `emitEntryPointsSourceFromIR` at line 2540, and `checkTranslationUnit` in `FrontEndCompileRequest::checkAllTranslationUnits` at line 513.
- Resolved the relative links to peer pipeline docs, cross-cutting docs, the architecture dependency doc, and the linked source paths named by the page.
- Checked source-alignment claims for the approximate `slang-ir-*.cpp` count, `slang-check-*.cpp` family, `slang-emit-<target>.cpp` family, AST header family, and named driver/request/module headers.

## Findings

(no findings)

## No-issues notes

- The page stays at roadmap depth and does not duplicate the per-stage documents.
- The mermaid diagram uses simple camelCase node IDs and no styling.
- The document includes at least one watched source link in every stage subsection.
