I dunno I’ve seen too many times where Claude Code will just rewrite a test it doesn’t like and say it’s good. Combining that with —dangerously or —yolo is a recipe for disaster.

You do have to keep some tests for yourself, and don't let claude touch those (or even see them ideally).
Though I have been reading that you can actually have a second agent manage tests. That way it's motivation is to find bugs. So if anything it will hallucinate failures.
That said... if corp is pushing AI, then they get the result. Most of the time it will be fine. When it isn't it's the AI we have been encoraged to use's fault.
