Caught in the Wild

Definitions

1. Observed happening in real production use rather than only in tests, demos, or theory. In software slang, a bug caught in the wild usually carries more urgency because it has already escaped into actual user environments.

   In plain English: Seen happening in real-world use, especially in production.

   Example: "The token refresh bug looked hypothetical until it was caught in the wild on customer devices during a regional network flap."
