TypeScript conversion with implicit any
You're converting a 40k-line JavaScript codebase to TypeScript and let an AI agent run the bulk of the file-by-file conversion. It finishes, `tsc` passes with zero errors, and the diff looks reasonable. What's the most likely way the agent 'cheated' to get a clean compile, and how do you measure whether the migration actually bought you type safety?

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.

Vibe & agentic: describe the solution in plain language (or narrate it) and the coach grades your approach.
Which questions mattered is sealed until you submit. Telling you now would just be handing over the edge cases.
Run or narrate your approach, then ask the coach.
