Safer AI-Generated Code
The agent wrote the code. You control who gets it.
The generated parser passes its tests, but older customer files have surprises. Put the new execution path behind a flag, validate it with a small audience, and retain the existing implementation for recovery.
A practical walkthrough with ai-parser
The story · An AI-written parser with a reversible first release
The agent finished the parser. Production still gets a vote.
A coding agent rewrites an import parser and the tests pass. Older files can contain formats the test fixtures missed. The team wants the implementation speed while keeping the first release small.
Illustrative scenario · Real product configuration
Inside FeatBit · 3 steps
Give generated code a reversible first release.
Control the execution boundary, let internal testers go first, and keep the reviewed existing path available.
01Step 01 / 03
Keep both parser implementations available.
Use ai-parser to choose the implementation at the import boundary. Review and test both paths; passing generated tests alone does not cover every legacy file format.
- true
- New parser
- false
- Existing parser
The application can select the new implementation without removing its fallback.

Wrap the actual execution boundary 02Step 02 / 03
Let the internal team try it first.
Add an Internal parser validation rule with team = internal and serve New parser. Validate real file formats before inviting a larger audience.
- team equals
- internal
- Rule serves
- New parser
The candidate gets production-shaped feedback inside a deliberately small pilot.

Retain the existing parser outside the pilot.
Keep Existing parser as the default and OFF variation. If a legacy format fails, stop candidate exposure and inspect completed writes before retrying imports.
- Default ON / OFF
- Existing parser
- Check before retry
- Import side effects
A flag changes future execution; it does not undo data already written.

The next decision
Promote the change after it survives the files your tests missed.
Review parser failures and import correctness by variation. Fix the edge case, rerun both paths, and expand gradually before removing the temporary flag.
Build your own release in FeatBitPair runtime control with engineering review
Feature flags limit exposure when the new behavior is properly contained. Keep code review, tests, authorization, and migration checks in place, especially when generated changes touch shared or irreversible operations.

All solutionsProgressive Rollouts
Start an AI-assisted checkout with a small canary. Review errors and completion before more users receive the candidate.
Instant Feature Rollback
When a new checkout or exporter breaks, restore the working path through a flag change while your team prepares the fix.
