AI Coding Assistant Dependency Version Selection Risks: How Codacy Dogfoods Verity With Its Own AI Agents (2026)

Codacy is dogfooding its Verity AI agents to address dependency version selection risks in AI coding assistants, according to a 2026 report on the practice. The report notes most teams working with AI coding agents still rely on a human to prompt the agent, read the diff, and decide whether to ship it, a process it characterizes as progress but not yet an autonomous loop. Codacy's approach has its own AI agents earn a track record before being trusted with more.

Most teams working with AI coding agents are still at the same stage: a person prompts the agent, reads the diff, and decides whether to ship it. That's real progress, but it isn't a loop yet. Nothing runs on its own, and nothing has to earn a track record before it's trusted with more.
