What? Coding agents are very capable at helping fix bugs in specific domains. Your examples are like, the exact place where AI can add value.

You do an update, things randomly break: tell Claude to figure it out and it can go look up the breaking changes in the new versions, read your code and tell you what happened and fix it for you.

I'm confused too. When it breaks, you should have tests and a changelog handy. I solve these problems with agents routinely.
