Why coding agents will break your CI/CD pipeline (and how to fix it)

AI coding agents are producing far more code than teams can validate, creating a new validation bottleneck.

Shared staging environments break under parallel agent activity, causing integration outages and backlog of PRs.

The proposed fix is ephemeral per-PR sandboxes plus a skills-based validation layer that lets agents test and iterate autonomously.

These changes aim to remove the staging bottleneck so agents can be validated at scale without bankrupting cloud budgets.
