One Next.js repo, 559k lines, several Claude Code sessions a day, around 65 PRs a week. The standard forecast is three deaths: slop, rot, and merge hell.
The repo is alive anyway. Not because the prompts got clever, but because the codebase assumes every agent will take the shortcut if it can. Small PRs. Checks that fail loudly before I look. Guardrails that catch the drift instead of me catching it in review.
