And I was right. GPT 5.2 was fine with complex graphics maths but it tripped up with basic refactoring. This is a relief as it's just as stupid as I am in this area. Rather than wasting API credits I just ran `sed -i 's/positionition/position/g' wasm/src/meshing.rs`. #aicoding #vibecoding

I'm not ashamed to admit I can't grok most of the code. I make my living writing cloud Infrastructure-as-code and python backends, not computer graphics.
I'll try forcing the agent to refactor everything in a more verbose and readable way. No doubt this is where it will fall down.
