# Review report for pipeline/06-emit.md

## Summary

The emission page conforms to its prompt and matched the sampled dispatcher/backend sources. I found no findings.

## Items checked

- Ran `regenerate.py show pipeline/06-emit.md` and read the target page, `_common.md`, `pipeline-06-emit.md`, and dependency `pipeline/05-ir-passes.md`.
- Verified front matter keys, recorded source commit, and 64-character hex watched-path digest.
- Spot-checked 17 emission claims against `source/slang/slang-emit.cpp`, `source/slang/slang-emit-c-like.h`, `source/slang/slang-emit-source-writer.h`, `source/slang/slang-emit-source-writer.cpp`, and representative backend files.
- Confirmed backend subsections exist for all prompt-listed emit backends and that shared C-like, source-writer, precedence, prelude, dependency-file, and add-backend sections are present.
- Checked dispatcher claims against `CodeGenContext::emitEntryPointsSourceFromIR`, including `SourceWriter` setup, backend selection, `linkAndOptimizeIR`, `simplifyForEmit`, `emitModule`, prelude emission, and artifact creation.
- Resolved relative links with `regenerate.py lint` for this assigned doc group; lint reported no issues.

## Findings

(no findings)

## No-issues notes

- The textual backend sharing description matches `CLikeSourceEmitter` and `emitModuleImpl` structure.
- The line-directive/source-map discussion is backed by `SourceWriter` declarations and implementation.
- The backend list does not invent a backend outside the watched `slang-emit-*.cpp` files.
