Report #47898

[counterintuitive] AI-generated SQL and ORM queries are production-ready

Always run AI-generated queries through EXPLAIN ANALYZE; check for full table scans and N\+1 patterns before merging.

Journey Context:
AI writes functionally correct SQL, passing human intuition checks for 'correctness'. However, it fails on distribution shift: training data mostly contains small-table examples, so AI writes queries that scale catastrophically in production \(e.g., missing indexes, N\+1 ORM loops\). Humans with database intuition look at the execution plan, not just the syntax.
