Command definition

Force the agent to write or extend a test for every behaviour change.

Test before merge

For every code change that affects observable behaviour:

1. Identify the existing test that covers the area. If none, propose creating it (note the gap in the response). 2. Write the failing test FIRST in a separate commit named `test: <what>` — verify it fails on main, passes on the branch. 3. The implementation commit comes second. 4. If the change is purely refactoring, run the existing tests and report the count + duration; do not add new tests just to satisfy this rule when there is no behaviour change.

Skip is allowed only when:
