Why AI Assistants Write This Bug
Hosting presets sometimes run dev scripts instead of production builds, leaving slow development diagnostics enabled.
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.
