# How Fixes Are Verified
> Every AI change is rated, checked, and reversible — so you always know whether it's safe to apply.
AI can be wrong. kipmox is built so you never have to take a fix on faith — every change is rated, independently checked, and fully reversible.
## Every fix is rated
When kipmox proposes a fix, it shows three things before you apply anything:
| | |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Confidence** | High, Medium, or Low — how sure kipmox is that the fix is correct |
| **Risk** | A plain-English note on what to double-check before applying — for example, "changes execution order, verify dependent logic" — or *Safe fix* when there's nothing to watch |
| **What Changed** | A plain-English summary of exactly what was modified, and why |
## The deterministic check
Ratings tell you what the model *thinks*. kipmox goes further and **checks the fix itself** — deterministically, in the extension, not by asking the AI to grade its own work.
For each fix, kipmox:
1. **Re-runs the originating rule** on the proposed code — the same rule that flagged the issue.
2. **Confirms it compiles** — the change doesn't introduce a new error.
3. **Checks for regressions** — no new issues were created elsewhere.
It then shows a verdict:
| Verdict | Meaning |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Checks passed** | The rule no longer fires and nothing new broke. Still worth a glance at the fix. |
| **Review recommended** | The checks couldn't fully clear the fix — read it before applying. |
| **Validation failed** | A check proved the fix is wrong, regressed, or introduced an error. Don't apply as-is. |
| **Unable to verify** | The response couldn't be validated (for example, a malformed response), so no checks ran. |
The deterministic check is a safety signal, not a substitute for reading the fix. Treat **Checks passed** as "safe to review and apply," not "apply blindly."
**When the check runs.** For **analysis warnings**, kipmox verifies the fix *before* you apply it — you see the verdict, then decide. For **deployment errors**, the fix is applied and then verified. Either way, nothing is committed to your repo and you can undo anytime.
## You stay in control
* **Review first** — kipmox never changes your code until you apply the fix. On **Free** you copy the fixed code in yourself; on **Pro** you click **Apply Fix** ([Safe Mode](/configuration/safe-mode), the default) or let **Auto Fix Mode** apply it.
* **Undo anytime** — after applying, press `Cmd+Z` / `Ctrl+Z` or click **Undo Fix**. kipmox never commits to your repo.
* **Automate when you trust it** — turn on **Auto Fix Mode** (Pro) to apply fixes automatically.
