Pretty much sure did not create bugs. Because I validated it thoroughly, as I had to deploy it into production in a fintech environment.

So I am pretty much confident as well as convinced about the change. But then I know what I know.

This is the fundamental problem. You know what you know, but the maintainer does not, and cannot possibly take the time to find out what every single PR authors knows before they accept it. AI breaks every part of the Web of trust that is foundational to knowing anything.
