update or delete tests that assert intentionally removed behavior

Trigger

• (no explicit trigger metadata; cluster derived from category/tags)

Required Procedure

• update or delete tests that assert intentionally removed behavior
• verify no test asserts behavior the changeset deliberately removes

Forbidden Shortcuts

• (none recorded)

Delegation Template

When delegating a task affected by this skill, include:

SKILLS: file:.opencode/skills/generated/update-or-delete-tests-that-assert-intentionally-removed-behavio/SKILL.md

Reviewer Checks

• grep test files for removed code patterns (e.g. Date.now() timestamps, deprecated API calls)
• run full test suite after changes and classify every failure as regression vs stale-test

Test Engineer Checks

• Add or update tests covering the trigger condition and the forbidden shortcut.

Source Knowledge IDs

• ca60f911-c1d4-4fb1-8245-44bf6cf95045 — When intentionally removing a code path, update or delete all tests asserting the old behavior in the same changeset — stale assertions that validate removed behavior count as test failures, not expected regressions.
