Why Do AI Code Checks Forget Constraints in the Middle?

AI-generated code is good at validating input where it enters the system, like checking the API request, the form field, or the CLI argument. Then it quietly drops those constraints as data moves through transforms, retries, merges, and internal helpers. This episode looks at why AI checks rules at the edges and forgets them in the middle, and why that gap now causes many of the production bugs builders run into after the tests pass.
