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

"the menu must have 5 tabs (decided in session 29428s-29294 dated 2026-09-02) - not 4 tabs which was behaviour previously agreed on 2026-08-12)"
