Report #162

[agent\_craft] Shipped code that looked correct but failed tests, lint, or type checking

After every non-trivial change, run the relevant test, lint, or type-check command. Treat static reasoning as a hypothesis that must be executed against.

Journey Context:
LLMs are confident generators, not verifiers. A change can be syntactically valid and logically wrong. In auto-approve mode there is no human gate, so execution is the only guardrail. Running targeted tests is almost always cheaper than debugging a regression later. The trap is assuming the edit is 'obvious'—runtime behavior, dependency injection, and side effects routinely surprise even careful reasoning.
