this is my fiercest attempt at nuking bad tests from my codebase, here's what i did
i asked gpt 5 6 sol xhigh and claude fable 5 xhigh
“explain & justify each test in our test suite. stack rank tests by value and provide candidates for removal"
then, i asked them
"can you add this document as a github discussion via cli?"
finally, i asked opus 5 max (in a fresh Cursor thread)
"pull both discussions documents and consolidate one set of changes. every addition and removal must be justified objectively.
make one final plan with the step-by-step changes. you're the best model possible to do this with and i trust your judgement."
i currently have 340 tests. i'll update with what i'm left after this.
