Are you sure? I read its proposed commands (auto mode is hard off for me), and mostly it seems to string together fairly simple info gathering commands (ie grep's, echo's, that kind of thing).

I don't tend to have it write much code recently though, instead I'm having it investigate config files/code bases, and that kind of stuff.

I've seen it propose sweeping edits as a one line sequence of sed commands targeting specific line numbers. The only way to review would be to manually look up every line number. This despite by local instructions telling it repeatedly to prefer the standard Edit tool.
