The Hidden Cost of AI Summaries: Why Build Status Needs Evidence

AI code agents often compress their output for brevity, but this introduces a critical vulnerability—assertions like 'build green' lack the raw compiler evidence needed for independent verification. When developers cannot audit the underlying facts, silent regressions accumulate undetected in production systems, a problem that monitoring tools cannot catch. The author argues this requires a fundamental shift: every factual claim from AI must include its raw evidence in the same message, not optional summaries.
