tdd-implementation-loop

Enforce a test-driven development loop by applying a structured protocol that requires contract definition, stubbed behavior, red tests, and green implementation before reaching a refactor-ready state. This ensures changes are validated by a rigorous build-and-test cycle.

The best way to guarantee a final green build is to use deterministic build verification that validates the codebase passes all tests before completion. This requires moving through explicit stages: contract definition, stubs, red tests, and green implementation.

Yes, contract-driven development is explicitly designed for scenarios where predictability, reproducibility, and auditability matter. It defines strict contracts and stubs before writing red tests and implementing green code for verifiable builds.

Yes, TDD workflow automation requires write-access to the codebase because it applies to incremental software modules. It executes plan-first workflows to generate stubs, write tests, and implement code until the deterministic build passes.

Your test-driven development workflow skips the refactor-ready state if it lacks hard design constraints enforcing the full loop. You must satisfy requirements for contract definition, stubbed behavior, red tests, and green implementation sequentially before refactoring.

You need a plan-first workflow with deterministic builds when solving coding tasks that demand test-driven development validation. It ensures your incremental software modules meet contract definitions and pass all red-to-green test cycles before completion.
