This seems very similar to the situation of a new employee dropped into a large codebase of varying quality. It seems like similar techniques will get you out of the mess?

Also, you can ask the coding agent for help at understanding it, unlike the old days when whoever wrote it is long gone.

Only the coding agent will only give you plausible answers, not necessarily correct ones. So read the code. Oh, but you now can't because all you know is how to ask coding agents.
