Has there been a time when your spec was accurate, the agent implemented it, everything passed — but you still felt you didn't really understand what was happening? If so, what did you do about it? Did it degrade your ability to make subsequent specs?

sure, if I get lazy and don't read every line of the spec or don't thoroughly review the generated code, then I have felt a gap in understanding, but thats more on me than the tools. Another case is when I'm just completely unfamiliar with the framework the code is written in, I feel this happen whenever I use AI to write any non-trivial frontend as I rarely did frontend pre-AI.
