Report #227

[agent\_craft] Shipped code without running the affected tests or executing the changed path

Run the relevant test or linter after every non-trivial edit; when no test exists, execute the changed code path manually before considering the task done.

Journey Context:
Generated code can look correct and still fail at runtime due to off-by-one errors, type mismatches, environment differences, or subtle API changes. Static reasoning is not a substitute for execution. Test-driven practice treats running tests as part of the edit loop, not an afterthought. If the project has no tests, run the script, hit the endpoint, or import the module in a REPL; the feedback is cheaper than a downstream breakage.
