There are always unknown unknowns which a rigorous testing implementation would just hide under the rug (until they become visible on live, that is).

They were most probably also written by AI, there's no other (human) way. The way I see it we're putting turtles upon turtles hoping that everything will stick together, somehow.
I tabbed back to Visual Studio (C#): 24990 "unit" tests, all written by hand over the past years.
Behind that is a smaller number of larger integration tests, and the even longer running regression tests that are run every release but not on every commit.

Yes. They came from the existing project being ported, which was also AI-written.
No, those 9,000 tests are part of a legendary test suite built by real humans over the course of more than a decade: https://github.com/html5lib/html5lib-tests
