Test Until Green

Run your test suite, fix the smallest root cause on failure, and repeat until every test passes.

Prompt

Step 1 — Run tests
Run the project test command and capture failures.

Check: `npm test`

Step 2 — Fix failures
Fix the smallest root cause for the current failing tests. Prefer minimal diffs.

Step 3 — Re-run tests
Run tests again and verify progress toward zero failures.

Check: `npm test`

Step 4 — Repeat until done
Repeat the steps above until: All tests pass (exit code 0)

Check with: `npm test`

Stop after 10 iterations and report what is blocking.

Guardrails:
- Do not modify the check command or exit criteria to force success
- Do not skip, disable, or bypass checks to pass the exit condition
- If stuck after several iterations, stop and report blockers instead of gaming metrics
- Do not weaken, delete, or skip tests to make the suite pass
- Do not replace real assertions with trivial always-pass tests
- Prefer fixing production code over patching tests to go green
