SMRTR summary

Roughly 45% of AI-generated code contains security flaws, with XSS errors at 2.74× human baselines. The fix isn't abandoning AI, but restoring spec-driven development, adversarial verification, and named human accountability before anything touches auth, payments, or untrusted input.
