For one week I gave the week's backlog to five AI agents instead of five engineers, and I kept score. Not a hackathon toy — the real board, the real repo, the real merge button. Here is the honest tally before I tell you what it means:

23 PRs opened by agents

14 merged

3 reverted within 48h

1 near-miss: an agent "cleaned up" a migration and nearly dropped a staging table
