How deeply does "Looks Good to Me" cover milestone?

Defines milestone timing and responsibilities, but stops short of prescribing one universal interval.

Milestone

A planned intermediate checkpoint at which a developer’s work is reviewed during implementation rather than only at final submission.

A review milestone is a planned check-in during implementation, positioned between full pair programming and a single final code review. An experienced teammate reviews current work, answers questions, and helps align it with the codebase and team standards. section 8.6

Choose intervals that match the developer’s experience, task risk, and need for guidance:

Review after an initial implementation or bug fix. section 8.6
Review throughout a feature, such as after every commit when substantial guidance is needed. section 8.6
Schedule checks at task assignment, halfway through the deadline, and immediately before opening a formal pull request. section 8.6

Supporting a new teammate

Start with clear acceptance criteria and reference samples, review the first implementation, and provide feedback before the pull request. As the developer reaches milestones successfully, reduce the hands-on guidance while retaining useful check-ins. section 8.6 section 8.7
