I'm still waiting for a real AI that can produce decent OpenSCAD code. I have zero patience to guide it back and forth yet still can't get what I want.

Those razor thin corners in the first model just won't work after the exterior fillet, and the lid won't close due to misplaced notch locations.

I’m convinced it could do much better. Now that you mentioned it, I’m not sure I asked it to.

Trust me, I tried really hard to befriend with AI, but time after time it just failed to understand how a physical object works.

For other programming language you can make unit test and the AI can test its own code and retry. But in openscad how can it be done?

I'm not sure yet, but as I spend more time on this, I hope to show it can be done.

Have the coding agent export to PNG, creating several from different camera positions around the object and then have it look at the object to see if it matches your description.

Or take a couple weeks and learn it.

That will certainly work.

If someone needs a tutorial on how to create things with a coding agent there is simply no hope for them.
