Why AI Assistants Write This Bug
AI boilerplates omit the Permissions-Policy header, leaving camera, microphone, and geolocation permissions open by default.
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.
