Spec-Driven Development: Can You Ship Without Reading the Code?

Writing a spec and having a coding agent follow it to generate an implementation is the easy part. But if we still have to read every line of generated code to determine whether it matches the spec, we have realized only part of the benefit of Spec-Driven Development. We may have improved our own clarity by articulating our intent through the spec. But can we trust the implementation to be aligned with it?
