A decent example of this would be that i've implemented frontend features before but did not notice an unintended pixel shift. I introduced a bug, albeit just visual, but a bug nonetheless - and i had no idea. Likewise, a minor visual issue like that can get through many stages of review and even deployment.
Pixel interaction may be terrible for early prototyping, but the idea has merit. Or, at the very least, perhaps it could identify by css/dom, and throw warnings for pixel alterations.
I like the idea of letting design people programmatically enforce standards (Though, no idea how to make them do that programmatically lol)
