What about my proposed psychosis would make the tests go green when it implements something complex in one shot? In any case, thanks for validating my previous assumption that people like this still exist even in the age of Opus/Fable.

The “something complex” is critical here - I mean specifically an implementation that requires an advanced and reasoned mental model to write. How does it oneshot those and pass comprehensive tests if it isn’t doing advanced reasoning?
