The Case of the Missing Unit Tests
by MrPhil

Today's development revealed an important oversight: while Claude had been generating unit tests for various systems, they weren't being added to the test runner. As a result, many validations were silently unused — giving a false sense of coverage.
What Got Done
- Identified and integrated previously orphaned tests
- Updated the main test runner to explicitly include all test modules
- Improved unit test coverage
What I Learned
AI can produce great utility code, but it doesn't always connect the dots — especially when it comes to integration. Even complete-looking files may not be registered within the broader testing framework. The key takeaway: verify that generated tests are executed, not merely written.
