> There would need to be automated pull-request checks verifying not only that tests pass but that code conforms to the spec.
As I understand, this is an unsolved problem.

very true. and we already know and agree with this.
user experience/what the app actually does >>> actually implementing it.
elon musk said this a looong time ago. we move from layer 1 (coding, how do we implement this?) to layer 2 thinking (what should the code do? what do we code? should we implement this? (what to code to get the most money?))
this is basic knowledge
This could very well be a pattern that some teams evolve into. Specs are the new source -- they describe the architectural approach, as well as the business rules and user experience details. End to end tests are described here too. This all is what goes through PRs and review process, and the code becomes a build artifact.
