Question

An AI agent refactored a 600-line Python billing module (proration, tax rounding, currency conversion) into smaller functions. Your existing unit suite still passes green, and a diff review looks like a faithful structural rewrite. But you didn't write the original line-by-line and proration math is subtle. Before merging, how do you actually verify behavior is unchanged — not just that the tests you happen to have still pass?

What a strong answer looks like

Treat the AI’s output as a draft to verify, not an answer to trust. Name the specific flaw and the input that triggers it, say how you’d catch it — tests, edge cases, reading critically — and how you’d re-prompt or decompose to get it right.

Describe your solution

Vibe coding: describe the solution in plain language (or narrate it) and the coach grades your approach. Generating runnable code from your description is coming next.

Run or narrate your approach, then ask the coach.
