Powerduck | OpenAPI Studio(@PowerduckLabs):The agent hits a TypeScript error, adds `as any` to shut it up, and the build goes green. The type was warning about a field that is sometimes missing. That exact runtime crash shipped to production three days later. The cast didn't fix the bug. It just moved the stack trace.
