Dev reverts 9,400-line Cursor-generated PR that broke checkout, gets called a control freak

A developer reverted a teammate's 9,400-line Cursor-generated PR merged on Friday afternoon. CI was green, but staging threw 500s on the checkout endpoint 20 minutes later. At standup the teammate publicly called him a control freak for not pinging first. Notably, CodeRabbit and Claude had flagged the null path in review, but the thread was resolved without any code change — raising questions about trusting AI review flags and whether revert-first is now considered rude.
