Paul Duvall argues in a Tessl Blog essay that downstream human code review is an ineffective quality and security control that becomes a bottleneck as agents generate code faster. He recommends encoding standards, architecture rules, acceptance criteria, security checks and deployment permissions as automated policies, while reserving human judgment for defining intent and approving irreversible actions. The essay also uses a reported Cline incident to illustrate why agents should receive limited authority and why inputs, caches, identities and deployment pipelines need strict trust boundaries.
