> In the vibe coded world, if a bug is found [...] do we simply kill the codebase and vibecode up a fresh one de novo from the same prompts as the original, adding only knowledge of the recebt failure mode?

That sounds like a horrible plan, LLMs are non-deterministic (practically speaking, I know they can be run with temperature=0 locally, but not really relevant to the way anyone is writing code with them now).

Feeding the same spec in with some changes to deal with the one bug you discovered and regenerating all the code is likely to create a system that has new bugs (unrelated to the one you fixed by amending the spec) that may not have existed the last go-around.

You'll be playing whack-a-mole forever.
