Cyclomatic complexity seems like it could be identified by static analysis, but I guess code reviews might help clarify design intentions.

I practiced a similar question about defect types, and I feel like conformance to design is something that only a human reviewer would notice.

I think endless loops can be caught by static analysis tools, but I'm not completely certain. I need to think more about what code reviews specifically target.

I remember that code reviews are really good for catching issues related to design and coding standards, but I'm not sure which defect type is exclusive to them.
