Why AI Assistants Write This Bug

AI coding tools sometimes generate a package.json without running a package install, omitting the lockfile from the repository.

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.
