It is not so much forgetting as much as it is acceptance that when welcoming AI into a codebase, the code can no longer matter; that all that matters is that the properties of the system are validated. That isn't a change that comes free, so nobody should be expecting magic, it is a different set of tradeoffs. There is no such thing as a panacea.

I don’t think this is possible in practice without leaning on the stability of the code base.

How can the code no longer matter? It literally is the logic (not to mention performance, and reliability) of the software.
