False-Confidence Test Audit

Find tests whose green result overstates what they prove. This is an evidence audit, not a request to maximize coverage or replace outcome tests with implementation checks.

Workflow

State the suite's claimed behavior and identify the production boundary that should make the claim observable.
Run the narrow test unchanged and record its command and result.
Inspect for assertions that cannot fail, status-only assertions, permissive schemas, broad truthiness checks, over-mocked boundaries, implementation mirroring, skipped CI lanes, missing negative cases, and fixtures that bypass the behavior under test.
For each suspected weakness, propose the smallest probe that would make the test fail if the production behavior were broken. Prefer a temporary mutation, boundary substitution, or explicit counterexample when safe.
Separate confirmed weaknesses from hypotheses. Record limitations when a probe cannot be run.
Fix only confirmed weaknesses, then demonstrate that the strengthened test fails against the broken behavior and passes against the correct behavior.

Boundaries

Never weaken production behavior to make a test easier to write.
Do not delete a test merely because it overlaps another; identify the distinct claim first.
Do not introduce sleeps, network dependence, random timing, or broad HTML snapshots as substitutes for behavioral evidence.
Full mutation testing is optional and must be budgeted separately.

Completion

Return output matching the declared result schema. A clean audit states what was inspected and which claims were actually challenged; “no findings” without commands and limitations is incomplete.

bounded-loop

aryaminus/controlkeel

Run objective, repeatable improvement work under an immutable verifier and hard iteration, cost, time, and no-progress limits. Use for approved experiments with an automated metric and sandboxed worker.

aryaminus/controlkeel

Write concise, calm technical responses whose structure matches the decision, evidence, or sequence being communicated. Use when drafting substantial plans, reviews, findings, documentation, or completion summaries.

aryaminus/controlkeel

Operate inside a ControlKeel-governed session. Use this before code edits, shell execution, delegation, deploy work, or any task that needs CK validation, findings, budget, proof, or routing context.

cost-optimization

aryaminus/controlkeel

Keep a governed session within budget. Use this before long-running agent work, bulk processing, or any task where spend pressure could change the plan.

end-of-shift

aryaminus/controlkeel

Close a governed work session with validation, proof, findings, budget, digest, learning, and handoff checks. Use when the user asks to wrap up, stop for the day, or leave work ready for another agent.

handoff

aryaminus/controlkeel

Persist session state and hand off in-progress work to a background agent or delegated execution. Use when work outgrows the current session, context is near limit, or a task needs to continue unattended.
