Sure, but behaviors that never have a bug or regression don't get a test. Software of this kind of complexity has all kinds of behavior that has never been broken, and doesn't have a specific test written for it.

Getting an extensive test suite passing is certainly orders of magnitude better than having no test suite at all, but it still doesn't tell you as much as you need to know. I would absolutely never trust an LLM Postgres rewrite (in any language) in production based on "only" Postgres's test suite passing.
