No N in tables in this case, and it looks like none of the reviewers asked and the editor didn't notice. I'm pretty sure such issues are super common in published papers, but most are not scrutinized as much

Afaik what some polisci journals do is verify that the code produces the numbers that are reported in the paper, but this is different from reviewing the code to see all the data transformations, which obs were dropped, how exactly each model was specified (often not clear from the paper itself)

Do editors do this extra work reviewing the code or reviewers? Or both?

Many of the issues can't be identified without looking at the code, and yet code review is not typically part of peer review. I asked for the code a few times when reviewing papers, and never got it. Could this be a fix - reviewing paper + code? But this would make it even harder to find reviewers

Yes, entrenched

To talk about substance, one would have to read 3 papers. Not many people want to invest this extra time, hence the discussions about the process. I think that would be fine if these discussions led to some better standards. Not sure they will though

Could you elaborate on why CPS doesn't do this? What happens if a reader notices what they believe to be errors in a paper published in CPS?

What would have been the best course of action? Reviewing the critique and the authors’ response separately doesn’t seem optimal, as it can lead to the two sides talking past each other. Should the journal editors take a more active role in such situations? What if the response doesn't get accepted?
Today I published a replication outlining concerns with "Instrumentally Inclusive" by Turnbull-Dugarte and López Ortega (2024, APSR).

I document seemingly idiosyncratic and ad hoc choices made by the authors that create a pattern of statistically significant results consistent with their theory.
