AI 生成代码在提示词上下文之外失效

It was small enough to review quickly, the tests passed, and the implementation matched the ticket closely. Nothing in the pull request looked improvised, risky, or difficult to understand. A few days later, that same change contributed to a customer being charged twice. The failure was not caused by broken syntax or an invented API. The generated logic had done exactly what the task requested: retry a payment when the provider timed out. What the task never mentioned was that a timeout did not prove the first payment attempt had failed. The provider might already have captured the money while the response disappeared somewhere between the provider and the application. That missing fact changed the meaning of the entire implementation. The AI had solved the problem represented in the prompt, but the production system was enforcing a larger contract than the prompt described.
