I do see most people like the idea of reading the “chat” that generates the code but idk… isn’t that just more LLM-generated slop to read?

I don’t, but maybe because I don’t personally care about prompting at all and don’t put effort on building nice prompts.

I do expect a good summary of the changes and how can I easily verify/test it. The summary or the testing guide being too vague are strong smells that the patch is slop.
