Why AI Assistants Write This Bug
AI frequently outputs markdown code fences (```json ... ```) that break JSON.parse() and crash application route handlers.
AI code generation prioritizes immediate syntax execution over production edge cases. When an assistant hits an undefined variable or strict type error, it frequently takes the path of least resistance rather than implementing standard pre-launch security patterns.
