Where the workflow shifted
Searches around coding agents, GitHub Copilot agent, AI code review, and agent workflows show that engineering teams care about delivery, not only generation.
Developer tools should explain where tasks come from, how branches are created, how tests run, who reviews the output, and how failures roll back.
Tool names are not outcomes
The signal matters when it changes how a team ships, reviews, or recovers work, not when it only names another tool.
Check permissions and failure
- Create one delivery card for every agent feature: input, permission, artifact, test, human confirmation, and rollback
- Keep the test narrow: one low-risk task or tool entry before connecting permissions, logs, failure handling, and human takeover to production
What still needs proof
The closer an agent gets to source code, secrets, and live systems, the tighter permission and review boundaries must be. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
