A debugging deep-dive into how an AI-assisted refactor removed a comment guarding against infinite recursion, and how React 19’s `<Activity>` component masked the bug by pre-rendering an infinite tree in memory for minutes before crashing.
This is a good reminder that ‘AI pair programmers’ can create subtle bugs that are hard to spot.
