Report: "PSA Interface Checker — Scary Mistake & Fix"

• False safety: The checker’s presence made engineers complacent—“Inputs are validated upstream.” When it went wrong, that assumption amplified the blast radius.
• Silent mutations: Instead of loudly failing, the checker sometimes mutated inputs (trimming, defaulting, coercing) and allowed bad state through, making debugging a nightmare.
• Tight coupling: Multiple services had implicit contracts relying on the checker’s previous behavior. A small rule change rippled across microservices, UX, and analytics.
• Observability blind spots: Monitoring tracked request rates and error counts but not semantic changes in payload shape or subtle field drops. Alerts didn’t trigger until user-visible features broke.
