# Review report for pipeline/03-semantic-check.md

## Summary

The semantic-checking page conforms to its prompt and the sampled implementation points. I found no remediation-worthy issues.

## Items checked

- Ran `regenerate.py show pipeline/03-semantic-check.md` and read the target page, `_common.md`, `pipeline-03-semantic-check.md`, and dependency `pipeline/02-parse-ast.md`.
- Verified front matter keys, recorded source commit, and 64-character hex watched-path digest.
- Spot-checked 13 semantic-checking claims against `source/slang/slang-check.cpp`, `source/slang/slang-check-impl.h`, `source/slang/slang-check-decl.cpp`, `source/slang/slang-check-inheritance.cpp`, `source/slang/slang-check-constraint.cpp`, and `source/slang/slang-parser.h`.
- Confirmed the file-responsibility table covers every watched `slang-check-*.cpp` concern and that the body-parse interaction is backed by `SemanticsVisitor::maybeParseStmt` calling `parseUnparsedStmt`.
- Resolved relative links with `regenerate.py lint` for this assigned doc group; lint reported no issues.

## Findings

(no findings)

## No-issues notes

- `checkTranslationUnit` is correctly identified as the top-level semantic-check entry point.
- The `DeclRef` and generic-constraint discussion is source-supported by the checked symbols and relevant implementation files.
- The failure-mode text is consistent with checker recovery via placeholder/error nodes rather than aborting on the first diagnostic.
