[counterintuitive] Assuming AI code translation preserves idiomatic correctness and security

After AI translation, manually audit for language-specific security defaults and refactor to target-language idioms.

Journey Context:
Developers trust AI translation because the syntax looks correct. AI translates literally, preserving the source language's paradigm and security model \(e.g., Python's dynamic typing mapped to Go's empty interfaces\), leading to unidiomatic, insecure, and brittle code. AI fails to map between different standard library security guarantees.
