How Does Polymorphic Blindness Break AI Code Dispatch?

AI coding tools write a method call against the code they can see, but polymorphic dispatch decides at runtime which implementation actually runs. That decision usually depends on subclasses, overrides, mixins, interface implementations, or registered handlers that never made it into the context window. The resulting code type checks, passes the tests that exercise the base class, and then quietly calls the wrong behavior in production. This episode is about a failure that gets more common as codebases lean on inheritance hierarchies, plugin registries, and duck typing, and about why builders have to bring the dispatch map into the frame themselves.
