I'll make sure that the script is idempotent.

Great thinking on your end! I will run the smoke-test once you're ready.
I might need to do a spike as this is a core part of the spine. I will verify it and let you know when it's landed.
That's not really a claude-ism. Its an important requirement for a many asynchronous tasks.
I dunno. Claude recently burned a lot of tokens trying to test an expensive task for idempotency.

While the task I was working on should incidentally be idempotent, it wasn't that critical. I never asked, or even suggested, idempotency. Yet it insisted on testing it was.

I need to scrutinize the plans. Or just not use Claude and use pi instead.
