I don't know how deeply you read into it, but people pointed out that Claude rewrote the entire testing stack in Python. Worse than that but it rolled its own unique framework. Every test file will randomly redefine its own `_run_and_capture` function

How could we even check if either human or robot code is working properly if we're not even sure the test suite works?

Also, another user[1] compiled a nonexhaustive list of 7 issues they found introduced because of the changes.

If the 7 issues three are the same underlying issue. Another two at least relate to the same commit and probably the same underlying code. One is not related to a Claude assisted commit. That leaves three that are.

Adding that to the two in the issues further up, that makes a total of five bugs in AI assisted commits.
