# Review report for target-pipelines/spirv.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 SPIR-V Phase A-D tables against `slang-emit.cpp`, legalizer loop bounds, and downstream `spirv-link` / `spirv-val` / disabled `spirv-opt` path.

## Findings

| ID | Severity | Location | Description | Evidence | Recommendation |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| F-001 | major | lines 595-615 | The page says `applyGLSLLiveness` is filtered out for direct SPIR-V, but the source runs it for any Khronos target when liveness tracking is enabled; the Phase C table omits a reachable pass. | `source/slang/slang-emit.cpp:2347-2352` gates `SLANG_PASS(applyGLSLLiveness)` on `shouldTrackLiveness()` and `isKhronosTarget(targetRequest)`. | Add `applyGLSLLiveness` to Phase C after the range-end handling with the `shouldTrackLiveness() && isKhronosTarget` gate, and remove it from the filtered-out list. |
