# Review report for pipeline/05-ir-passes.md

## Summary
The page is structurally lint-clean, but review found 1 finding; the most significant severity is major. The main remediation need is to align the page with watched source evidence and the per-page prompt contract before marking this review cycle complete.

## Items checked
- Checked the `linkAndOptimizeIR` anchor, representative pass files across categories, target-sensitive ordering caveat, pre-link and target-pipeline cross-links, and the adding-a-pass checklist.

## Findings

| ID | Severity | Location | Description | Evidence | Recommendation |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| F-001 | major | document structure | The prompt requires a top-level `## Pass utilities` section, but the document has only `### Shared utilities (not passes)` nested under `## Pass categories`. | `docs/generated/design/_meta/prompts/pipeline-05-ir-passes.md` requires `## Pass utilities`. | Promote or rename the shared-utilities subsection to `## Pass utilities`. |
