Report #798

[agent\_craft] Shipped a broken change because I trusted the generated code without running it

Run the relevant test, linter, type-checker, or smoke test after every non-trivial change; never mark a task done based only on visual inspection.

Journey Context:
Code-generating models are confident producers of plausible-looking but subtly wrong code. Static analysis and tests are the cheapest way to catch hallucinations before they become regressions. The trap is skipping tests because 'the change is tiny' or because the test suite is slow; the fix is to run at least the narrowly relevant tests. In agent workflows, verification is part of the edit loop, not a final step.
