A short architecture article. The technical reference supports the topic; hypothetical scenarios and assessment proposals are editorial analysis, not accounts of personal implementations.

## The architecture decision

A convincing suggestion can appear ready before its assumptions are checked. Risk grows when teams adopt libraries, calls or permissions without understanding why.

## Practical application

Editorial proposal: require explanations using the same criteria as human code. In a hypothetical function, verify dependencies and failure behavior beyond the happy path.

## How to verify

Review inputs contradicting assumptions. Record validated behavior and uncertainty. AI can reduce drafting effort without taking responsibility for accepting changes affecting users and data.
