description	Strict TDD workflow with human checkpoints. One test at a time, minimal implementation, pause after green for human review.

Strict TDD

Loop

1. RED — One failing test

• Exactly one test for the next behavior.
• Public API only — no private attributes/methods.
• No production code yet.

2. Confirm RED

• Run tests, confirm the new test fails for the expected reason.

3. GREEN — Minimal implementation

• Smallest change that makes the test pass.

4. Confirm GREEN

• Run full test suite, all must pass.

5. CHECKPOINT — Return control to human

Report:

• What test was added.
• What made it GREEN.
• Test suite status.

Wait. The human may:

• Review changes.
• Request refactoring.
• Request a git commit.
• Instruct to continue.

Do NOT proceed to the next test until the human says so.
