Transferability and effectiveness of contract-review checks

Determine how often the observed migration-advice defects occur in other projects and whether incorporating the three contract-review checks into an agent or grader improves outcomes.

Background

The study derives three review checks from concrete cases involving public API responsibility, exact boundary handling, and the distinction between resource cleanup and process liveness. These checks are presented as transferable review questions, but the paper does not establish their prevalence beyond the studied plugin framework or show that automating them within an agent or grading system improves evaluation or repair outcomes. The authors therefore identify both external-transfer frequency and intervention effectiveness as unresolved questions.
