I don't get this comment, you say it breaks trust because it's unknown who is accountable, and then you say you (the author) is accountable. So where is the trust broken?

Also your examples are wrong, regardless of pair programming or TDD, there is always a single committer, who is to be held accountable. How you achieve that commit in the past, copy-pasting from stackoverflow, or some auto-expand snippet automation from the IDE - so any tooling - does not matter. Agentic development is also such a tool, thus does not change trust.

The agent runner, or committer, a single human, is to be held accountable. That responsibility is - and always was - the most important role of a programmer.
