Why would you ever, outside flight and medical software, care about being 100% sure that the change did not introduce any bugs?

Because bugs are bad. Fixing one bug but accidentally introducing three more is such a pattern it should have a name.

They are. And we have processes to minimize them - tests, code review, staging/preprod envs - but they are nowhere close to being 100% sure that code is bug free - that's just way too high bar for both AI and purely human workflows outside of few pretty niche fields.
