Report #381

[agent\_craft] Assumed the fix was correct without running it

After every non-trivial code change, run the relevant test, linter, or a minimal reproduction. Do not consider a task done until the environment confirms the change behaves as intended.

Journey Context:
Agents generate plausible-looking diffs that fail syntax, miss imports, or satisfy the prompt text without satisfying the runtime. Human developers catch this with CI; an agent must approximate CI locally. The trap is stopping at 'the diff looks right.' Running tests is the only way to surface hallucinated API names, type mismatches, and broken imports before the user sees them.
