Comprehension debt is the gap between the amount of code in a system and how much of that code the team actually understands. Comprehension debt can accumulate invisibly when AI-generated code looks clean, passes tests, and ships quickly. The operational risk of comprehension debt appears when production failures occur and no one can explain generated behavior or hidden assumptions. AI-generated code may be syntactically correct while violating the system's architectural intent.
