What's the worst bug an AI coding agent silently introduced into your code?

I'm researching AI code reliability — specifically bugs that pass existing tests but cause real failures. Interested in patterns: what breaks, how it's caught, and how long it takes to debug. Happy to share aggregated findings with everyone who responds.

Source account: I'm researching AI code reliability — specifically bugs that pass existing tests but cause real failures. Interested in patterns: what breaks, how it's caught, and how long it takes to debug. Happy to share aggregated findings with everyone who responds.

Available context

Source votes: 3 votes (Nov 5, 2026 UTC; cumulative since publication); previous same-scope observation: 3 (Nov 5, 2026 UTC). These observations do not establish demand growth. Recent records to compare: “Meta says US users can now video chat with their Muse AI avatar” (TechCrunch, Nov 5, 2026); “Hungary: Communist-era files released, up to 60k former agents revealed” (Hacker News, Nov 5, 2026). Shared themes are navigation hints; they have not been verified as the same need or independent corroboration.

Research status

This record has not been assigned a sufficiently supported main content category. No commercial or performance conclusion is generated.

Missing evidence

The main event, affected audience and supporting primary source need review.
