You verified each line?

What? Why would you want to?

See this is a perfect example of OPs statement! I don't care about the lines, I care about the output! It was never about the lines of code.

Your comment makes it very clear there are different viewpoints here. We care about problem->solution. You care about the actual code more than the solution.

Agreed.

I care that code output not include leaked secrets, malware installation, stealth cryptomining etc.

Some others don't.

Not sure what your point is exactly, but those things don't bother me because I have no control over what happens on others computers. Maybe you insinuate that LLMs will create this, If so, I think you misunderstand the tooling. Or mistake the tooling with the operator.

I looked closely enough to confirm there were no architectural mistakes or nasty gotchas. It's code I would have been happy to write myself, only here I got it written on my phone while riding the BART.
