I would say no to staying back. The employee that broke it needs to fix his code, at the very least roll the change back.
At the next meeting or post mortem bring up why code can be pushed to prod without review. Your git forge should be able to block merging to prod by a single person.
Yeah. I log off at EOD and don't check messages. It's not my families fault he lets his employees vibecode shit into prod. The Vibelord is the main problem, but others do similarly stupid things.
Adding to that, about the "stealth merge", couldn't it be just the rollback? Don't change what works, as the saying goes.
And expanding on the meeting or post mortem idea, take this time not to fix the code, but to make an essay showing what broke, how it broke, and how it could be avoided in the future. Also preferably not letting your tone getting acid or those hearing from the company could instinctively refuse to listen to you even if your points are solid.
If only there was some way of reverting the merge commit and redeploying.
