What problem does it solve?

Prevents an agent from claiming completion based on a goal description alone by enforcing a disciplined red→green→refactor loop with test verification.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Test-first workflow enforcement: Writes failing tests first, then implements to make them pass, then refactors.
• Conjunctive completion gate: Marks the goal as done only when the existing judge signals done and the diff shows new/modified test files and pytest runs clean.
• Discipline-violation reporting: Returns structured reasons (including missing test modifications or non-green pytest results) when the loop result conflicts with the TDD gate.

Quick Start

Run the TDD pipeline to implement your feature by telling it the test scenarios first (as the goal) so it can add failing tests, complete the implementation, and only finish when pytest is green.
