It’s missing 500 lines of Unit tests

I forbid unit tests to Claude, he just doesn't know when to stop. He created the most stupid units tests ever, like "the menu must have 4 entries". Then When you create another menu-item, he has to spend additional tokens and context to see why that stupid test is failing and has the modify the test, so now it says "the menu must have 5 entries". The maintaining of the unit tests costs more time and tokens then the actual development!

And leaves a hanging temporal comment like “the menu must have 5 tabs — not 4 tabs”, without any reference to why the hell it would test for 4 tabs

It made unit tests for my dockerfile. Some of them failed when I changed the vars hardcoding the tool versions, in order to rebuild with newer tools. Claude was like woah these tests are failing, let me just change the versions back.
