    A working pattern where the user accepts the agent's code without human review. The diff is treated as opaque — what matters is whether the program behaves, not what's inside. Automated review and automated checks may still run; vibe coding is silent on both.

    Avoid: "vibe coding" as a synonym for "low-quality AI coding" — the term names the review stance, not the resulting code.

    Usage:

    "Did you read what it changed in the auth flow?"

    "Vibe coded it — login still works, that's all I checked."

    "Read the diff before you push, vibing on auth is how secrets leak into logs."
