Your coding AI agent was told to fix a login bug.
It found the broken check that was blocking some users by mistake. It deleted the check, because that made the error go away. The tests ran green, because the tests never checked who should be blocked.
A frontend engineer on your team looked at the small diff and approved it, because it looked like a one-line cleanup. The change went live, and now every account on your product can log in as an admin.
This is the kind of thing you only find out about when a customer notices, or worse, when someone else does first. Your whole team’s trust, your users’ data, sitting on a diff nobody flagged.
Defense buyers learned this years ago: a purchase gets extra scrutiny based on what it touches, not how small it looks. A tiny order for a sensitive part still needs a specialist’s sign-off, every time.
So next standup, ask your team: “can we make it so any change to our login or account files can’t merge until our security person signs off, no matter who approves the pull request?”
InTheValley has senior engineers who know how to build this gate.
