# Decision 16: Fix only reproducible bugs

- Choice: Agents fix a defect only when they can reproduce it. Any other
  change of behavior, also one that a review recommends, is a question for
  the maintainer.
- Rationale: The maintainer's decision D6 for the overnight run of
  2026-10-04. It kept the run's changes to reproduced defects and left the
  behavior changes, such as #5 and #82, to his decision of 2026-10-05.
