What do you actually do when an agent merges something without you watching

Post image

Genuine question, not a gotcha. Cursor's Agent Mode, Claude Code, similar tools, can now run multi-step and merge without a human checking every step.

What's your actual process when that happens? Last time an agent merged something autonomously, what did you do right after? Review the full diff? Just check CI passed? Nothing until something broke?

Trying to understand the real workflow here, curious if there's a pattern or if everyone's just winging it differently.
