Cicatrice

Origin

Medical metaphor. A healed wound that leaves a mark.

Definition

A real production error transformed into a permanent check. The more cicatrices an agent has, the more reliable it is. It is a badge of honour, not a flaw.

Example

"Lovelace has 6 cicatrices — 6 bugs turned into 6 automated checks."
