Before merging an AI-generated change

Before merging an AI-generated change
Evgenii Arsentev
Start with the diff. Read the changed lines before the agents explanation; a tidy summary can hide a very wide edit.
Keep one ordinary input and one awkward input handy. Empty files, repeated requests, missing values - these catch a surprising amount. The check doesnt need a fancy framework.
Write down the command you ran and what it returned. If a check was skipped, say so. Future you shouldnt have to guess whether a green screenshot covered the changed behaviour.
A passing test is useful evidence, not proof that every assumption was right. Check permissions seperately when the change touches user data.
Last thing: leave a short rollback note before merging. Boring, but easier to write while the change is still fresh
