Question

You need to rename a core domain concept across a polyglot repo — the term `tenant` becomes `organization` everywhere: class names, DB columns, API field names, config keys, comments, and a public webhook payload field. A teammate suggests letting the AI agent do a repo-wide text replace. What goes wrong with that approach, and how do you actually scope and verify this rename?

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.
