Registration validation global names
You asked an AI agent to 'add validation to the user registration form' for a global SaaS product. It returned regexes that reject names with non-letters, require a two-part name, validate emails against a strict pattern, and require phone numbers in a US format. The tests pass. What's wrong with these 'sensible' defaults, and who gets locked out?

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.
