What is backpressure in AI code generation?

It's software hydraulics: lint rules and checks that block bad patterns outright, turning AI suggestions into enforced reality.

How do you set up ast-grep for SvelteKit?

Drop YAML rules in .ast-grep/, add to package.json scripts. Pairs with oxlint/ESLint for full coverage on Cloudflare D1 gotchas.

Will backpressure slow down AI workflows?

Nah—lint flies (50ms), audits seconds. Catches shippable bugs pre-merge, saving hours of prod firefighting.
