Eventual convergence? Assuming each defect fix has a 30% chance of introducing a new defect, we keep cycling until done?

That's assuming that each fix can only introduce at most one additional defect, which is obviously untrue.

Assuming you can catch every new bug it introduces.

Both assumptions being unlikely.

You also end up with a code base you let an AI agent trample until it is satisfied; ballooned in complexity and redudant brittle code.

Why would it converge?
