The commits are revealing.

Look at this one:

> Ask Claude to remove the "backup" encryption key. Clearly it is still important to security-review Claude's code!

> prompt: I noticed you are storing a "backup" of the encryption key as `encryptionKeyJwk`. Doesn't this backup defeat the end-to-end encryption, because the key is available in the grant record without needing any token to unwrap it?

I don’t think a non-expert would even know what this means, let alone spot the issue and direct the model to fix it.

That is how LLM:s should be used today. An expert prompts it and checks the code. Still saves a lot of time vs typing everything from scratch. Just the other day I was working on a prototype and let claude write code for a auth flow. Everything was good until the last step where it was just sending the user id as a string with the valid token. So if you got a valid token you could just pass in any user id and become that user. Still saved me a lot of time vs doing it from scratch.

At least for me, I'm fairly sure that I'm better at not adding security flaws to my code (which I'm already not perfect at!) than I am at spotting them in code that I didn't write, unfortunately.

They're different mindsets. Some folks are better editors, inspectors, auditors, etc, whereas some are better builders, creators, and drafters.

So what you're saying makes sense. And I'm definitely on the other side of that fence.
