Inb4 the agents change the tests to pass the CI.
literally seen an agent do a: "oh now the tests aren't passing" deletes all tests in the file
Or my Claude favorite, “oh you’re right? I did blow past that restraint and did something I was not supposed to, sooooorrrrreyyyyy”

assert(true);
assert(true);
assert(true);
assert(true);
assert(true);

My favourite (that I saw a human do) was asserting on unconstrained mocks with a typo (so they always asserted true)
Hundreds of tests. Not exactly pointless as they did call the code so maybe caught some issues. But we fixed the typo and barely half of them passed.
No idea how the software worked, but it did.
Look at all the pretty green check marks!
Or just disable limiting rules because they don’t wanna fuck with them. That one is my favorite to try to fight in PRs
