But Did You Ship It Right? **[Stack Overflow Blog](https://daily.dev/sources/stackov)** · 11 min read · 2 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary AI coding tools accelerate code production but don't increase a codebase's capacity to safely absorb changes. The gap creates a pattern of production incidents from invisible assumptions baked into AI-generated code — boundary, concurrency, domain, and security assumptions that pass review but fail in production. The CATS framework (Contracts, Automated Verification, Telemetry, Simplification) is proposed as a set of guardrails to let teams ship fast without accumulating fragility. Contracts make API boundaries explicit, automated tests enforce domain invariants, telemetry catches drift before customers do, and continuous simplification reduces coupling. A two-week sprint plan is provided to implement these practices without pausing feature work. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
