Why would they go to all the trouble of summarising the test counts in the context and writing out the full removal scope across two comment posts as a "joke"? I'd believe it was a joke if was a one-liner but this has far more detail then that. this issue was more of a joke (am I allowed to do that?) Not really a fan of the qualification here to possibly scare people off from calling them out either. To clear, I have…

the issue was created by claude using this skill https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/blob/main/.claude/skills/wr... trust me this was never a serious proposal

In the interests of transparency it should be noted you are the 4th top contributor to this repo [1].

If that test summary was generated by Claude without intervention it wouldn't have estimation tildes all over the counts.

Why would you bother with any intervention on Claude's output if it was only a joke, wouldn't you just dump the output and move on?

This is interesting because it’s also one of SQLite’s monetizations. SQLite is in the public domain, but you need a commercial license to access their TH3 test harness with 100% branch coverage used to validate SQLite on different platforms.

I wonder if TLDraw realizes that Ai can probably run the software and generate an even better test suite. Days to replicate +1?

So why the pushback?

If you stay silent, you get walked over. They have reversed the decision [1] from the push back. (I don't buy the "it was a joke")
