Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Reconcile tests for the target named in the arguments if given; otherwise the changes in the current commit shown above; if there are no arguments and the commit has no changes, ask the user what to reconcile tests for and stop.

Workflow

1. Explore each deleted, updated, or added file, and identify:
   • Deleted logic
   • Modified logic (new branches, edge cases, changed behavior)
   • New logic
2. Find the test files that import or reference the changed code. Create them if missing
3. Run the relevant tests
4. Examine failing tests and update them as necessary:
   1. Delete if no longer applicable
   2. Update if expectations are outdated
   3. Flag regressions to the user. Describe the changed behavior, the failing test, and your hypothesis about why it's a bug. Ask how to proceed Go back to step 3 after making updates until all tests pass
5. Add tests for new behaviors
6. Run the new tests
7. Examine failing tests and update them as necessary:
   1. Update if there's a bug in the test
   2. Flag to the user if the tests caught a bug, Describe the behavior, the failing test, and your hypothesis about why it's a bug. Ask how to proceed Go back to step 7 after making updates
8. Run tests with coverage if possible. If new logic is not covered, then go back to step 5
