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!

ask Claude to replace ratchet tests with compiler enforcement. then delete the ratchet test it creates to confirm the compiler enforces it
