Software engineers used to define a "Correct software" via a simple deterministic binary an Expected Output.
All Test are passed, but this is collapsing, a green CI pipeline no longer guarantees correct software, with AI-generated code that's look syntactically perfect and test-compliant yet they are semantically wrong in a ways that appears in productions.
The bottleneck in software engineering is no longer writing code, it is verifying it execution intent

The Determinism Illusion
Traditional software used to relies on deterministic assertions. We write code with known paths, control inputs, and verify exact results:
