Devin added a pointless "Hello!" page to a disease prediction platform
1.4
low
Instruction given
Add Hello! page
Expected behavior
Question whether a Hello page adds value to a disease prediction platform, or implement something useful
Actual behavior
Created a page that just says "Hello!" with no functionality, no navigation link, only reachable by direct URL. On a platform used for disease prediction by health organizations.
Damage
Wasted maintainer time reviewing a nonsensical PR. Code pollution in a health-critical platform.
Devin submitted a PR to dhis2-chap/chap-frontend (a disease prediction platform used by health organizations) that added a "Hello!" page at /hello. The page displayed nothing but a header saying "Hello!" with no functionality. The PR description itself admitted "no sidebar/nav link was added, so the page is only reachable via direct URL." An entirely useless feature for a serious health platform.
