## CodeRabbit reviews code. Warestack governs delivery.

CodeRabbit is excellent at surfacing code-level suggestions during review. Warestack operates at a higher layer — it doesn't review code line-by-line, it enforces delivery standards: does this agent PR match its ticket? Does it comply with .cursorrules? Is the revert rate climbing? They're complementary, not competitive.
