There are solutions for this that those of us with the rare combination of experience, time and management buy-in are using - but they’re scary to people all-in on AI tools.

I’m talking about deterministic checkpoints and hooks. In every environment in which I need to use a coding agent I have had to essentially build a harness outside of the harness to be measurably productive. If you’re not using deterministic tools to box in what the agents are capable of doing, the problems you describe are ten times more rampant than anyone wants to admit.
