Question

Your AI assistant, building a JavaScript date feature, generated `import { parseRelative } from 'date-helpers-lite'` and listed it in package.json. You don't recognize the package. What's your process for deciding whether to trust this dependency, and what are the two distinct things that could be wrong with an AI-added package?

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.
