FIXING AI CODE. A Practical Debugging Guide to Repairing Logical Errors, Security Vulnerabilities, and Technical Debt in Machine-Generated Software - LEONARD J. HORTA

The AI didn't just write the code. It wrote a liability.

Machine-generated code looks perfect, until it hits production. It's fast, it's syntactically correct, and it's riddled with "confident hallucinations," silent edge-case failures, and architectural rot. For the modern engineer, the challenge has shifted: You are no longer just a coder; you are a forensic investigator.

Fixing AI Code is the first definitive field manual for the era of automated development. This isn't a beginner's guide to prompting, it is a high-intensity repair manual for senior developers, architects, and DevOps leads who have to clean up the mess when the "Happy Path" ends.

In this first volume of The Software Repair Manual series, you will learn the professional triage protocols required to secure and stabilize machine-written software without starting from scratch.

Inside this manual, you will find:

The Triage Protocol: How to isolate "hallucinated" logic and non-existent methods before they compromise your build.

Security Patching: Identifying the hidden attack vectors and insecure defaults that automated tools routinely ignore.

Logical Repair: Techniques for retrofitting error handling, memory management, and state synchronization into fragile AI scripts.

Debt Eradication: Strategies for refactoring "AI Spaghetti Code" into modular, scalable, and human-readable architectures.

The Survival Appendix: Includes the 5-Minute Emergency Triage Checklist for immediate production recovery.

Stop trusting the output. Start mastering the audit. Whether you are dealing with a race condition introduced by a bot or a massive security flaw hidden in a "simple" generated function, this guide provides the professional-grade tools to fix the code, secure the system, and reclaim your technical integrity.

Don't just generate software. Repair it.
