The code was only provided in a roundabout way that was deliberately done to evade manual inspection, so that's not a failure of checking in generated code, that's a failure of actually building a binary from the artifacts that we expect it to be built from. Suffice to say, cutting out the Turing-complete crap from our build systems is only one of many things that we need to fix.
