It seems like a robot would be a high-value target for drones and probably less able to evade them than a human would.

I save all of the plans I/AI creates (even for small changes) and attach to the user story. Then if there is a bug anyone can load plan into context to understand what was done. The documentation is 100X better now with AI.
