AI Agents Can Ship Code Faster Than You Can Review It. Here's What Stops Them.

Most teams running AI agents have no enforcement at the git layer. Here's what's quietly building in your repo - and the two-line defence that stops it. An AI agent just wrote and committed 47 files. Did you review all of them? Probably not. Nobody does. That's the point - agents move faster than review. And if nothing is enforcing standards at the git layer, bad code reaches the repo at the same speed the agent writes it. This is the problem quality gates were built for. It used to be a slow, human-speed problem. Now it's urgent.
