Why Does AI Code Behave Differently With Same Inputs?

A code review approves a function, the tests pass, and it ships. Then a slightly different input, a different prompt phrasing used to regenerate a related module, or a retry after a minor edit produces logic that quietly contradicts what was already approved. This episode names that failure mode, the consistency phantom, and explains why passing review is not the same as being internally coherent across an AI generated codebase.
