Why AI Assistants Write This Bug
Native fetch calls without an AbortController signal can hang indefinitely if a third-party API becomes unresponsive.
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.
