 - Do not run additional format/lint/test commands on completion (e.g., `just fmt`, `just fix`, `cargo test`) unless explicitly requested for a specific task.

+Optional regression checks (recommended when touching the Rust workspace):
+
+- `cargo nextest run --no-fail-fast` — runs all workspace tests with the TUI helpers automatically enabled. The suite is green after the resume fixtures/git-init fallback updates; older Git builds may print a warning when falling back from `--initial-branch`, but tests still pass.
+- Focused sweeps stay quick and green: `cargo test -p code-tui --features test-helpers`, `cargo test -p code-cloud-tasks --tests`, and `cargo test -p mcp-types --tests`.
+
+When debugging regressions or bugs, write a failing test (or targeted reproduction script) first and confirm it captures the issue before touching code—if it can’t fail, you can’t be confident the fix works.
